| - Decent.
The service is very friendly in this place. I was immediately turned on by the small-town appeal. Plus, it's a diner! It's hard to find a real diner (like with a counter and pie displays and everything), let alone a good one.
I really wish we had made it in time for breakfast, because the menu looked great. Lunch was okay, but disappointing in general. We expected the eggplant fries to be a hit, but they were soggy, mostly batter, and had a funky taste. The bistro sauce looked like McDonald's special sauce...which is actually a compliment coming from me. Too bad it didn't taste like it! Nor did it taste good.
I had a salad with a bunch of healthful ingredients, yet somehow it didn't really taste all that refreshing. The grilled chicken, while flavorful, seemed awfully sweet--as if seasoned with cinnamon sugar. The candied walnuts, which SHOULD have been sweet, tasted burnt and strange. The fruit and greens were nice, but the edges of the plate were drizzled in some kind of super-sweet raspberry sauce--reminiscent of IHOP pancake syrup. Again, oddly, a compliment, but somewhat out of place here.
Hubby had a breaded chicken sandwich with big onion rings and more of the not-so-special sauce. A big fried mess.
Hope to return for breakfast!
