My partner and I have stopped here on a Sunday for lunch…read more The first good sign was that their magazine selection was much more interesting than the usual celebrity trash, they had several recent issues of National Geographic and Consumer too read while waiting. The food was fresh and delicious. My partner ordered beef burger. She was very happy that the side salad was very fresh and enjoyed her beef burger. I had a grilled chicken focaccia with side fries. Unfortunately the chicken was just warm but other than that it was delicious. Fries were very nice. Coffee was good too. Final verdict: we would stop here again when travelling nearby.

It seems the kitchen closes at 2.00 pm, so we were not able to order anything warm, but what was served to other tables looked great.

It used to be an old bank so you'll find the repurposed safe room inside as well. Food choices are mainly cafe-style entrees like soups, salads, plates, as well as a bakery case of sweet and savory pastry items. Large selection of caffeinated drinks as well. Given how many people were here on a weekday mid-morning, I'm guessing that it's probably a frequent communal spot for the locals.

Went to Muddy Crab and had excellent tacos that day. (Go there instead for lunch) This time we arrived 5:30pm and were seated promptly. We asked if the fried chicken and calamari were starters or entrees. Waitress told us they certainly were enough for entrees. Not true. Both orders were very skimpy portions. Both were fairly tasteless and were served both with tasteless and insipid sauces, neither very enjoyable. Thought salting would help but didn't. At checkout, waitress asked if we wanted separate checks!! Highly insulting, seeing I already had my money out to pay and were obviously traveling together as a married couple. This place is strange and with the menu being mostly burgers, the prices are laughable. Owner/chef/manager sat at tables with customers the entire time. He needs to be in the kitchen cooking better food. This place needs to retrain the servers and deserves a good menu overhaul. Definitely not worth the price. Won't be back.
