Couple of things she told me:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Every weekday during happy hour, the Daily Grill has smaller versions of their regular menu items available for $2.95 each.  Although the portions are smaller, they&#8217;re still substantial.  I remember last month during their Downtown Night&#8230; I was sitting at an outdoor table with a member of my BBQ team, and he had a plate of seared ahi tuna that he had bought for $2.95.  It was nearly enough to be a meal, and I thought, &#8220;Nah&#8230; that&#8217;s got to be a mistake.  The restaurant&#8217;s new, I bet the cashier rang it up wrong.&#8221;  But no, that&#8217;s the correct price.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s one of the best deals I&#8217;ve heard of Downtown in a long time&#8230; I&#8217;m definitely going to go down there and check that out sometime this week.  Actually, tonight wouldn&#8217;t be a bad night to go, since Di Anne Price plays piano in the lobby on Mondays.  I&#8217;ll see how my schedule looks this afternoon&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I also asked the concierge, &#8220;Suppose I&#8217;m visiting from out of town, and I&#8217;m only going to be able to eat at the Daily Grill one time.  What would you recommend?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She immediately responded: &#8220;Chicken pot pie.  Best thing on the menu.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now.
