If you head out here on a Saturday night, be prepared for a very long wait. At 7pm, we were told it would be a 45 min - 1 hour wait... we ended up waiting much longer than that. And we had kids in our party, kids that are normally in bed by the time we were seated at our long booth.
Fortunately, our server was understanding and patiently waited for us to put in our food orders at the same time that she took our drink orders.
The organic tomato bisque was yummy creamy, and a decent portion for the +$2.95 price to add it to my turkey burger $10.75, which was verbally described as being similar to a meatloaf. My burger was in fact moist, tasty, messy, good. The fries, slim, crispy.
They have a children's menu for those aged 12 and under that has 8 options that include a drink, a choice of sides, and dessert of either an Edy's strawberry bar or a vanilla ice cream with hot fudge. The fried fish arrived 2 pieces to an order, while the chicken strips were 4 flavorful strips to an order.
When we left, one of the hostesses thanked us for our patience. That was thoughtful of her.

Terrific truffle fries here! Listed under Snacks for $4.95.

A friend recommended the veggie burger here. The closest thing I could see on the menu was a vegan burger $12.85 (red quinoa, kale, shiitakes, daiya vegan mozzarella, avocado, tomato, arugula, onion, miso, onion bun) so I picked that, upgraded the fries to truffle for a dollar surcharge, and added a side soup (French Onion) for $3.25.
Their side salads are impressively sized and sufficient for 2-3 as a side. The simply titled Classic Ranch isn't very simple or classic, as it arrived as a bed of mixed greens, separately topped with carrot, radish, carrots, roasted corn kernels, cheese shreds, and croutons. Corn? That elevates just about any salad in my book! Next to that, my cup of soup looked quite puny. It was a good variation of french onion soup, however. And though too salty for my dad's taste, it was perfectly fine to me. The chowder too was too salty for him.
Fried Calamari $11.95 and the Onion Ring Tower $9.45 were both good, and fine for sharing. I liked that tangle of arms in the calamari, as many places omit those for the body rings.
I wasn't crazy about my burger - the flavor itself was fine, but there was nothing to bite into. It was all soft mush, which isn't my thing. I also sampled the Mac & Cheese $17.95 large, the Penne with Chicken $17.65 large (mushrooms asparagus, sun-dried tomatoes, marsala cream sauce, parmesan), and the Lobster Garlic Noodles $22.95 (shrimp, crab, lobster, shiitake mushrooms, spinach, parmesan), and preferred the Lobster noodles most though it was rather light on the seafood.
The Mac & Cheese was sadly disappointing to the birthday boy. A freebie birthday mini dessert, however, did a lot to raise the mood. We opted for the Mini Peach Apple Cobbler with caramel ice cream ($4.55) which arrived with a coco powdered message which flew a bit when it came time to blow out the candle. The dessert was tasty, though the cobbler itself played the part of amour protecting the tender fruit.
Service was quite good, with communication not in the bit lacking. read more
