| - Sorry 1947, you just don't do it for me; You just don't get me there.
After looking over the menu that contains about as many things as I can count on two hands, which is kind of disappointing, I decided on a cobb salad with chicken, and white bean chicken chili to start. The "chili" was actually really good, the only thing that really satisfied me here. The $14 cobb salad was not bad, but the way they cut the lettuce... its shredded like you'd get on a taco... just made the salad seem droopy and depressed. No one wants a depressed salad. It was also small. For $10 I could get Shady Grove's cobb salad thats at least twice as big and NOT depressed.
My partner in crime and all things eating got the chicken pot pie. It was actually big. Like almost face sized. The top crust was nice and light, crispy and buttery. But the inside unfortunately was like thin soup, and the bread lining was a paper thin layer. It was basically just soup in a bowl with a pastry cap. Chicken pot pie in my experience has always been thick and creamy, but this was very thin.
I figured I'd give one last chance at redemption and order a cocktail. I looked over their cocktail menu, made a choice. When I finally got the waiters attention, I was informed they actually don't have the cocktails in their cocktail book.... what...? The only house cocktails they have are the ones on the little paper that lists their current draft beers. There were only about 7 cocktails on that pice of paper and they were all whiskey/rye drinks.... no thanks, bye. Why would you have a cocktail menu if you don't serve those drinks? No cocktail for Nathan.
Overall, I think for the price, I'm just not satisfied. Im not a cheapskate, and this place isn't super expensive or anything but for what you get it is definitely not worth the price at all. There were just too many negative things and almost nothing that stood out as great.
We both agreed that we would probably not order these items again (minus the white bean chili), and probably would not return unless someone else was going and asked us to accompany.
