"I have to start ophilia on a somewhat regular basis. I know the people who work there, and it is obvious that they all know their masters. eating is always great, the drinks are perfect, there is always good talk, and cindy mcclain becomes more and more lovable each year. I love the place."

"two in our party of three ordered from the brunch menu. the articles were crorque monsieur and oeufs al cocotte. each plate seemed to consist mostly of brot. we will not try again. the other person with us got the pesto chicken flatbread and a home salad. she said it was very good. we have eaten the flatbreads at earlier and found them excellent. also the side caesar or the house salads are great. we also enjoyed the brote served the table. cafe verona is one of our favorite spots. we were just disappointed by the brunch dishes we tried."

"So disappointed my tenderloin wasn't cooked enough and the crust was like wet greasy flour. The wife ordered a reuben had no thousand island dressing . Then when we called back they wanted me to drive back down there. Offered no compensation for their mistake and the woman on the phone said I am just the bartender. I am a warehouse manager for a large corporation if I treated my customer like that we would be out of business.Won't get take out anymore but will go back because we have had good meals there."

"This spot is a hidden gem! If you haven't gone, you are missing out. Both inside and outside are great seating locations. Definitely try their mushroom cheesecake. It is to die for. I haven't disliked anything here. Once you are done, check out the shop above the restaurant. Lots of fun and unique items."

"What a delightful hidden gem! Nestled inconspicuously off 24 highway, this place boasts the perfect location--so perfect, in fact, that you might drive right past if you 're not paying close attention. The bacon chips are an absolute must-try; they make for a fantastic appetizer. If they happen to be out, fear not--opt for the bacon wonton wraps instead. A word of advice: order them as soon as you settle in to ensure you don 't miss out. Now, let 's talk about the burnt ends or ribs--they 're my second go-to, and honestly, you can 't go wrong with anything on the menu. Bacon takes center stage as a staple in this joint, although calling it just a joint feels like a bit of an understatement. The decor adds a unique charm, featuring chopped-up old cars, diecast cars adorning the walls, and car-related signage scattered everywhere, creating a cool and nostalgic atmosphere. While the space may be somewhat cozy, it 's adequately sized to accommodate guests. Additionally, there 's an outdoor patio seating area for those who prefer to dine al fresco. In conclusion, this place is absolutely worth the visit. Even if there 's a line, I 'd recommend waiting--it 's an experience you won 't regret."
