Food quality question after Covid

At least one reviewer felt the food quality slipped after Covid.

Most dining comments are positive, but one review suggests food quality diminished since Covid. Because this comes from a single perspective, it reads more like an area to ask about during a visit rather than a consistent pattern in the reviews.
