COMMUNITY CORNER current “seasonal fish fillet.” At first, the “seasonal fish fillet” was salmon. No harm, no foul. Then, one fateful day, the “seasonal fish fillet” became tuna. While this does not sound like a huge deal to the normal person (and it probably should not be a huge deal), it is sad for someone who orders salmon every time they visit the restaurant. When I arrived at the restaurant on that day, I was greeted by a familiar server who informed me of the tuna issue immediately. Honestly, I was reeling from the news, but I was going to roll with it. I had been coming to this restaurant for years, and I was not going to lose all of that over one night. Then my server informed me that he knew I was going to be coming in, and he saved me salmon (presumably from catering), and I would be able to eat salmon that night. I think that is when my infatuation became love. This is a truly impressive story of a restaurant’s devotion to its customers: I was served special salmon, which was not on the menu, for months until the salmon finally came back. That is when I knew that Endive loved me as much as I loved it. Recommendation Endive other than Endive is a great restaurant that you should visit. At the beginning, you will go because you love the food. But as your relationship matures, you will go because you love the people. People will greet you at the door by name and make sure you have a great experience every single time.
