| - I was invited to have lunch for my birthday by a friend. I checked the menu on line and felt it was rather limited according to my tastes and expected little pleasure from our lunch. Boy, was I wrong! The environment was simple, pleasant and open. Service was slow, with a long wait for our food. I ordered the chicken fried trout ($15) which was tasty, well prepared, with a side of slaw and nothing else. I asked for some bread and was told they could give me crostini, five little pieces, the consistency and size of melba toast. I also had half of my wife's order of open faced steak sandwich ($16) with blue cheese potato chips. Nice slices of beef fillet, very tasty, as were the chips, an enjoyable combination. The iced tea was very average. Certainly more than a three star meal but short of five. My friend ordered the house chopped salad with the addition of avocado and loved it. Although the food was good I felt it was a bit overpriced, with limited choices so I probably won't return. A slice of Birthday cake without the candle depicted in their photos and white with strawberry icing instead of what I expected from the photos of chocolate cake with white icing. The three of us didn't finish the one piece, it was just OK, a bit heavy and on the dry side (no pastry chef involved here).
