The place was packed but the front of the house rep found us a perfect table against the rear wall with a view of the dining room. The gentleman who fixed/adjusted our table did a super job; hate those wobbly tables I always manage to find. The menus were clear and the ordering was super easy. The end product went way above our expectations. My dining partner ordered the Chicken Salad plate with a pasta side included. The chicken was fresh, tender and delicious [I stole a piece] and the penne pasta was just right while the celery and walnuts added crunch. I had the Salmon Wrap with spinach, avocado and ginger vinaigrette. The wrap was huge and the salmon perfectly cooked while the added ingredients made the dish even better. The crowd was lively and the atmosphere was full of love. We will return! Want to try the breakfast.

We have had Travelers Insurance for our home, autos, and rentals for 15 years. Always paid premium…read morein full and on time or early. Over 15 years we had a total of two claims. One was a homeowner claim for a dishwasher leak that damaged our floors, that was over 6 years ago. They tried to weasel their way out saying it was a long term leak and we didn't report it in time but we challenged it and they covered the damage. The other claim was an auto comprehensive claim and they covered that with no issues. After the homeowner claim the premium went up by almost 50% the next year. The following year there was another 40% increase then another almost 40% increase after that. Last couple of years the increase was minimal. Even with the exorbitant increases in the homeowner policy we stuck with Travelers. So, this year we were waiting for the invoice and were blindsided by a letter telling us that Travelers wasn't going to renew our homeowners insurance due to "debris" in the yard. There was no phone number to contact them regarding this issue just a "matter of fact" statement that the policy was not going to be renewed. Oh, they still wanted the auto insurance but not the homeowners. After 15 years, premiums paid on-time, one homeowner claim 6 years ago and no advance warning of non-renewal for a subjective view from an aerial photograph that they suspected showed "debris". We live on 5 acres that we farm, we grow grass hay for horses and have more than twenty fruit trees, table grapes berries and vegetables. We repurpose or recycle most of our waste items. We have tractors, trailers and various farm equipment. WE DON'T HAVE DEBRIS STREWN ABOUT THE PROPERTY! We have pallets we store to use when we cut the hay, we use drip irrigation for most of our trees and crops and store surplus supplies for installation and maintenance of our irrigation, equipment and facilities. This is not "DEBRIS". Our complaint is, after 15 years of paying premiums in-full and on-time, not one person from Travelers Insurance ever contacted us regarding their concern about "debris" existing on the property. NO LETTERS, NO PHONE CALLS, NO EMAILS, NO TEXT MESSAGES, just a letter of non-renewal. (NOT a shining example of customer service!) In our state Travelers doesn't deal with their customers directly. You need to use a independent agent that offers Travelers Insurance. Our agent can be difficult to contact. He doesn't return calls in a timely manner and never contacted us regarding the non-renewal, we had to contact him. He requested the photo from the underwriter and we provided him an explanation of the areas in question to forward to the underwriter. We are not sure he ever really provided anything I gave him to the underwriter. He did, however, say the underwriter didn't budge at all and that no explanation would change their mind. We gave Travelers 2 stars. We struggled with 1 star or 2 stars, but settled on 2 stars because they did repair the dishwasher damage and the auto comprehensive claim to our satisfaction. That being said, we would not recommend Travelers to anyone if asked. This is due to the lack of competent customer service follow-through that is expected from a long-term relationship.

After being a loyal customer of Travelers Homeowners Insurance for nine years, I decided to close…read moremy account because my insurance premiums kept increasing dramatically year after year. Instead of rewarding long-term customers, they continued raising costs to unreasonable levels. What made the experience even worse was that after closing my policy, I was told I still owed an additional 40 days of payment because the bill was supposedly due afterward rather than beforehand. This type of billing practice feels extremely misleading and unfair to customers. What insurance company provides coverage at the beginning of the month and then charges customers afterward at the end? It feels like a system designed to confuse customers and collect extra money unfairly. I am very disappointed with Travelers' customer service, lack of transparency, and treatment of loyal policyholders. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for honest pricing and fair customer treatment. I would have preferred negative five stars if possible.

At one time…read moreAmica was a 5 star company focused on customer care but something has changed not for the better. Yesterday I had a flat tire on a rural part of the highway. I called customer care and was told I had to download a form to put in the request for help! I had limited cellular service. Therefore I was unable to download the form to ask for help! The customer care person said that they weren't able to put in the service call for me. Fortunately a passer by pulled over and helped me charge the tire. And fortunately the person was a good person and did not have ill intentions. No longer a 5 star company focused on customer care and safety; they are unwilling to live up the their claims of Road Side Assistance .
