| - O.K. This place is new (only 2 moths old) and there are always growing pains. That being said, we really liked this place. It's small (about 2 dozen seats), unassuming (you could easily pass it and never see it), very clean and the items we selected were very good, as was the service.
I ordered the Pig in the Garden. Basically, a grilled cheese BLT sandwich. It came with a choice of coleslaw, potato or mac salad ($5.50). I went with the slaw and both were very tasty.
I am a BIG proponent of presentation and this was a time for it. The rather flat square sandwich was on a plate all by itself and looked lost. It should have been cut in half, stacked, with either the cup of slaw on the plate or some kind of garnish along side (pickle wedge - twisted orange slice - etc.). This did not detract from the taste... however, you do eat with your eyes first.
My wife ordered the Old Fashion Grilled Cheese and a cup of Tomato Soup ($5.99 for both). She asked for some grated cheese on the soup and was told they didn't have any.
We waited a little longer than we thought we should for our order, but then found out why...They sent an employee up the street to get some cheese to grate onto my wife's soup. Bonus points for that effort!
There is no doubt that we will be back to try other things on their menu. We hope that they do well since they are in a location that is notorious for restaurants coming and going quickly. So if you are in the area, stop in...if you're not in the area, drive over...I doubt you will be disappointed in the food, the selection, the service or the prices.
