We were meeting a friend from Cleveland and picked Kingwood Gardens in Mansfield as a convenient meeting place approximately half way between Cleveland and Columbus. Our plan was to have lunch at the Gateway Cafe inside Kingwood Gardens. They have a basic lunch type menu including some sandwichs and salads. My wife ordered a turkey wrp, her friend had thr turkey blackberry sandwich and I had the Italian pannini. All of our sandwiches were excellent. My pannini was one of the better pannini's I've had in a restaurant. Sandwiches were served with a choice of fruit or chips - I had the chips.
Service is NOT fast but it was worth the wait. Watching the lady who was "creating" the salads - it was obvious that she took pride in her work and that she was somewhat of a "salad artist". All the staff was very pleasant and personable. read more
