| - Went here with my Mum today for lunch today as both her house & my new office is nearby and we wanted to catch up.
The space, which is in the Hotel Blackfoot, is airy, clean and bright, with a combination of tables and booths. It's nothing spectacular or ground breaking, it's the perfect place for a quiet lunch with a relative or business acquaintance.
The service was good and efficient - the servers were fast, friendly and helpful.
What blew us away was the menu. Gone is the buffet that apparently used to be here; now there is a regular menu & a specials menu at lunch time.
The dishes ranged from a Mediterranean flatbread with pesto and goat cheese, to Irish Lamb Stew, to Glass Noodle Thai Salad. There was at least half a dozen things that sounded delectable to me - and all at decent prices (everything but the steaks was under $20).
And when the food came, we were also impressed that what had sounded so good also looked so good - our meals were beautifully plated, with the ingredients decoratively arranged and herb garnishes perfectly applied.
We had ordered the glass noodle salad & the Irish lamb stew; both came in good sized portions, tasted good, and left us full. While neither dish was absolutely amazing, they were good and tasty, with a good balance of ingredients and flavoring.
The bill was also a good price; under $35 (including tax) for two mains and a round of coffee each.
We got exactly what we had wanted when we chose to go here - a good meal for a good price, in an environment that was just perfect for a good in-depth talk.
We will be going back!
