The atmosphere was quiet, small and intimate. The food was delicious with the exception of the homemade potato chips - I was expect them to be warm but they weren’t.

If you are looking for a lunch that punches above it's weight, this is an excellent choice. The seating capacity is on the low side making for a quiet dining room, even when nearly full. You won't be disappointed for either business or casual purposes.

Short and simple. Egg rolls bland. Not hot. Must have been sitting a bit. Meat mushy. No flavor in the airline. Just mayo. Meatloaf open faced sandwich fairly flavorful but certainly not wow. Slaw was bland. Sweet potato fries decent but again, the whole meal not very warm when served. Decent service. Nice chatting in a booth but was getting a bit loud for a convo. Overall. Good experience but with so many places to experience, probably won't go back. Restaurants really have to be good to return as they are plentiful.
