First, the service was excellent. I have nothing but praise for our server. He confidently suggested my favorite of the 4 dishes that we ordered.Summary: Good to try! Next time I'm getting the Chicken Piccata! The Monte Cristo is a dessert for lunch and it's really good!We ordered [1] Avocado Egg Rolls $19 appetizer [2] Wood-Grilled Salmon $36 [3] Wine Country Salad $24 and the [4] Monte Cristo $19.5.[1] The avocado egg rolls were good! I'd give them a 4 out of 5. Although they come with a lot of avocado inside (which is awesome) the texture is a bit soft which forced me to eat some of the butter-lettuce garnish for crunch.[2] The wood-grilled salmon itself was excellent (flavor and cook). The red pepper broth (sauce) was fresh and brought the whole dish together with the fresh sliced vegetables on top and potatoes below. However, the potatoes themselves would have probably been better if they were cut in half twice-again at some point before making it to the table as I felt I had to cut every potato multiple times to fit on my fork with a little bit of fish or vegetable. The description on the menu says "SMASHED" potatoes but they certainly were not. Now, big potatoes aren't always an issue but because the sauce had a nice body to it, and the fact that the potatoes were already dense and hydrated, the best I could do was scoop some sauce onto the potato bites as it wouldn't really soak in. Fish 4.5 out of 5; potatoes 3 out of 5.[3] The wine country salad had some of my favorite flavor combinations: cashew, goat cheese, and raspberry vinaigrette that was thick and saucy almost like a reduction that stuck to the salad wonderfully! There were grapes, raspberries, and tiny apple rectangles scattered about. But, the chicken was a little dry -- definitely not juicy or moist. And I felt that because the entirety of the vegetable was being carried by spinach, it became wet under the vinaigrette during the meal and lost it's vibrancy resulting in a sort of sogginess. I would have liked a little red leaf lettuce mixed in to add more bounce to the dish, but my best recommendation is to just eat this dish quickly! If you eat the dish in 5-10 minutes, I bet it would be a 5 out of 5, but the lack of stamina in the dish makes me give it a 4 out of 5 overall.[4] Holy heck. The. Monte. Cristo. This is a turkey, ham, and cheese triple decker sandwich cut into 4 big chunks and then deep fried with powdered sugar sprinkled on top. And it is served with strawberry jam. I was in heaven. It wasn't healthy, but it was soul food. I was nourished in ways best described as biblical. If you are okay with fried food, order this. 5 out of 5. And use the jam!
This place has gotten way better from the last time we visited. The ladies at the to-go/ ice cream area are amazing. They have the best customer service we have received in this location in a while. We really appreciate their friendliness and charisma.The ice cream was tasty and the fruit was fresh.We will definitely come back and more often knowing that the service has gotten better.
Service was great. Food came quick, like 8 minutes after we ordered?♂️. Prime rib was dry and not super flavorful, hot middle but cold on outside. potatoes tasted like microwaved or were sitting for a while. Chicken piccata was yummy and the side salad was pretty good.
Service was competent, but slow. Food was grossly overpriced. $100 for 2 for casual dinner. Burger was okay. Fries good. Fish and chips sucked. Coleslaw really sucked.
I had the French toast with bacon. It was exactly as pictured, delicious, and fresh. The coffee was really good as well, tasted like home brewed coffee, not burnt massed produced restaurant coffee one so often gets. The staff was incredibly kind and checked in a good amount, but not too much. Enjoyed my meal.
The food is great! The severs there don't write your orders down. Always forget something. They ain't that smart ? ?
Comfortable cafe setting for breakfast. Nice selection of egg dishes and pancakes. The ham and cheese omelete was delicious, served with potatoes and toast with jelly. The coffee was nicely brewed and flavorful. The waitress was friendly and professional
Tortilla soup and salad were delicious. I always love their oatmeal!
It’s a very beautiful restaurant however the waitress wasn’t friendly much at all and barely spoke to us. She didn’t ask how anything was or to check on us. Very awkward and cold. Also, we got the fried calamari and the prime rib. The calamari was undercooked and the prime rib had little to no flavor. Very disappointed in the customer service alone. The employees are just standing around talking and don’t seem to want any interaction with guests. When we were waiting to be seated, the hostesses were talking and didn’t even say they would be right with us. Very awkward. I hate to complain because I too am in customer service but this experience was BAD. Especially paying so much for food that is bland. I don’t think I’ll be returning :(
Didn't like much of the very expensive food. French onion soup was good but no better than you can get anywhere else. Very average food you can find anywhere else for much cheaper.
