    Last night my husband and I had dinner with his daughter and her husband at Back Burner. It was wonderful! The restaurant is well-decorated, casual, but also beautiful, and the music was just right, not too loud, which is the usual case. Ricky, our waiter, was eager to serve us, and he arrived at our table on the ball. He brought us delicious rolls and good water. We ordered crab cakes, rockfish, and rib-eye steak. All four of us ordered the soup that the restaurant is famous for--pumpkin-mushroom. Wow! We all agreed it was delicious.

    We had an amazing waiter and someone in training. It was only her 3rd night and she was very good. They both made my mom’s 83rd birthday! The food is always excellent but add in a great wait staff and you have a perfect night.
