Since it was a beautiful day we decided it would be perfect... and hopefully the food would be, too. We were not disappointed. My companion ordered the lamb gyro ($12.99) with a Sangria ($10). I ordered a pork souvlaki ($12.99) with a Pilsner draught ($9). Both sandwiches came with a small bag of Lay's potato chips & a pickle spear. Everything was delicious, and their Tzatziki sauce was the best I've ever had. Service was fast and friendly. Even after we had finished our meal & drinks we were invited to stay as long as we wanted to enjoy the steel drum entertainment. We will definitely return when we're in the area.

Although I'm not surprised. (-; It is rare to find such a well-oiled machine in a restaurant that operates with such heart -- you can tell how connected the crew is and that they're having a good time too, which extends to a customer's experience -- with food that is made with such skill and craft, such care and thought and pride. It's so clear that this is Val's passion, and we are most grateful to have learned about her and her place. Val and team, thank you for the unforgettable birthday sendoff you created for me last night. My friends are sending texts of gratitude for such a lovely time; all of it was perfect. The pretty room with fairy lights and garden flowers and purple everywhere; the FOOD, all of it so delicious and clearly made with a great deal of love and skill, and how fun to have our own printed selection menu; those mocktails, brava to their creatrix; the cake setup; and because of the attentiveness, energy, fun and expertise of the serving crew, you all created a lovely experience where the 25 of us could be fully present, take our time, and just get to be ourselves together! I will keep sending folks your way, whether it's for a casual meal or a reception, memorial luncheon, etc. Thank you again.

My wife ordered swordfish with baked potato and butternut squash. The swordfish was overcooked, the potato was cold and did not melt the butter and we never got the butternut squash. Awful!! I ordered baked stuff jumbo shrimp with mashed potato and coleslaw. My shrimp was so salty I could only eat 1 1/2. I gave half a shrimp to my wife and she was unable to eat it. I also did not receive my coleslaw. Awful!! We were customers since at least 2015. The waiter we flagged down took the entrees off our bill. We will never be back. It also took us a 45-minute drive one way. Very disappointed and it's a shame.

The inside is dominated by a large central oval bar with tables around the outside perimeter. This is clearly a place to drink. A place I might have migrated to in my 20's. The day I visited they offered fish specials and the place smelled like a fish market. Now I like both cooked fish and sushi, but the smell was a bit too much. I arrived around 11:30 and had the shepard''a pie. It was good, but not particularly memorable. Not sure if I will return, but should I probably give it another chance. My initial impression is that their food offerings were significantly the same as 100's of other bar restaurants.

Crispy rolls were indeed crispy, but chicken and vegetable filling was pasty and flavorless. Even the topping g sauce couldn't save them. Pork dumplings (fried) were marginally better. Crispy pork belly entree was crispy as promised- succulent and delicious. But the bok choy accompaniment was unseasoned, and all was served on an ice cold plate. I don't mean it wasn't warmed, I mean it was straight from a fridge or an unheated storage room (it was a very cold night.) Server was friendly, but we had to go hunting for her to get the check.

Then came for lunch. Had a chunky monkey smoothie - it was a little watery in the middle but still delicious. The cranberry walnut chicken salad on sourdough was exactly what I was craving. And that sourdough - so good! The place itself is really cute and they sell some local items. There's a blind date with a book section and they sell Hoppy Pop (which is incredible).

This is a standard restaurant building. More comfortable. But don't expect the nostalgic dining car feel. My wife had the Southern Benedict. Sausage gravy over poached eggs. She truly enjoyed it. Not too salty. Very well done. And good portions, too. I had the 122 Skillet. Basically dirty hash browns. I'm surprised more places don't do this since the prep is so easy. I enjoyed it. Though next time I'll likely ask for hot sausage instead of mild. It tasted good, to be sure. Personal preference. Service was very good.
