"Sadly the worst experience I’ve had here. The chef salad I ordered had practically no meat in it, so I went back and ordered an angus spud hoping to get some meat on it. The potato was burned, cold, had no gravy and very little meat on it. It was not even edible. The service was poor and they didn’t seem too interested in helping me. I will not go back."

Iced tea is great! Salads and sandwiches are really good. Employees are friendly and are dealing with the covid19 situation well. Really like this place! 4.5 Stars; nothing on Earth is perfect.

Love the food! Had a Spud Max and French Dip. We wanted to get a flavored lemonade and the cashier suggested an option not listed on the menu: desert pear. Awesome flavor and funky plum color. Enjoyed thoroughly.

Baked potato was dry.. order was to go, but waited 20min. For my order to be completed. Chicken salad sandwich was sloppily made, and tasteless. The tea wasn't even good this time! For sweet tea, it wasn't VERY sweet under brewed. don't know if I will be back...

"The food was OK, but not outstanding. We had a reservation for 3 which we made about 2 or 3 weeks ago. It was parents weekend. Yesterday my son asked if we could increase the number in our party from 3 to 5 so a couple of his friends could join us. We called yesterday and left a voicemail asking if it was possible to increase the size of our party. Apparently they don’t open until 5:00. They never called us back to let us know whether it was possible. So we called back and spoke with someone at 5:30. They told us it was not possible. That is fine, no big deal. I was disappointed to see that they easily could have accommodated a larger party as the table for two directly behind us was never occupied while we were there. I would have ordered the imperial stout, but they didn’t have it. We ordered the cheese board. The focaccia and homemade butter were good, but the cheese selections were uninspiring. There was a goat cheese Brie which was a miss in my opinion. The blue cheese was ok, and there was a cheddar which was also just ok. We ordered the feta Cesar salad and this was very misleading. I think it is a big stretch to call this a Cesar salad. I did not get the sardine flavor that is the trademark of a Cesar. Also, for a salad making feta the feature, it lacked feta too. Next, I ordered the local farm steak, New York strip which was supposed to be aged for 45 days. I can’t tell you that it wasn’t dry aged, but it was a really thin cut for a dry-aged steak. I ordered it with the Demi glacé sauce. I can definitely say that this was not a Demi glacé. I have taken the time to make a Demi glacé before and I would refer you to chef John on YouTube for his Demi glacé. The thing you look for in the sauce is that it is thick enough so that when you run a spoon through it, it remains separate for a moment and has a dark caramel, glossy color. This sauce was about the color and consistency of tea. As a side I ordered ratatouille. What I got instead were vegetables which were whole and grilled. They were not sliced and layered as a ratatouille preparation would required and I did not get the tomato base. By this point I was so disappointed with the food I skipped dessert. My wife and son ordered some. My wife ordered the white chocolate cheesecake which came out as 3 small dallops of something, but I gotta tell you, maybe it vaguely tasted like cheesecake. My sone had the triple chocolate cake, and said that it was basically just a devils food cake. We paid $206 for the meal and I was very disappointed in the overall meal. On this one, I would have to say both the front of the house and the back of the house were to blame, but I think the kitchen needs to really focus on quality. Maybe these issues will pass by some people, but ratatouille is pretty distinctive, and that wasn’t even close. I didn’t give them zeros for this, but they are not performing above 2 starts."
