| - With hopeful expectations, I very recently tried out this restaurant and was underwhelmed. I found the food to be just ordinary, portions small, and seasoning uneven. My Cast Iron Chicken Pot Pie with peas and carrots that was prepared in a shallow skillet was good but not very creamy, and while no salt was noted on one side of the small pie, excessive salt was detected on the other.
Our server said the Stone Soup of the day that changes daily was Beef & Barley, when it actually turned out to be Cream of Mushroom. I liked the flavor but it was served in a small bowl, and only bits of mushroom were included in the dish. Service was very good otherwise, and I preferred Cream of Mushroom Soup over Beef Barley anyway.
The ambiance is very casual here, with several tables and booths situated around a stage where live music is sometimes played. But I got the impression that the restaurant was not trying to turn out anything but a limited number of value driven, rather average comfort food preparations, which is reason enough for me to have no plans to return.
