| - YUM.
Comfort food at it's very finest. My mom and I visited this past weekend, on a cold and rainy afternoon. On walking into the bright and welcoming entryway, the wonderful smell of Norwegian meatballs and other specialties are the first thing to greet you. The next thing you see are the amazing pies and cookies in the cold case. I knew at that moment that one piece of pie wasn't going to be enough. And I was super excited about that.
It seems that the feedback has been taken, and while there is a slight overlap between the "let me in to eat" and the "just give me pie" lines, it wasn't anything serious and the hostess was friendly and smiley. We were seated immediately and when we requested a table near the window it was no problem.
It also seems that the issues with table service are being smoothed out, though a bit more training wouldn't be a bad idea. Our waitress was very kind and friendly, but the service was still rather slow (it was busy), and we needed to repeat ourselves on a few occasions (nothing major). My mom had the roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy, which was huge and smelled amazing. I had the corned beef hash and eggs which was exceptional (and I got gluten free toast for a .99 upcharge! Win!). Both of our meals were warm and comforting - exactly what we needed.
Now the pie...ohhhh the pie. I love pie. Pie is everything. I had two kinds because I have no self control. The butterscotch pie was incredible, clearly homemade, and completely delicious. I also ordered the coconut pie. The coconut was a bit disappointing, to be honest (i have a very high bar) - the filling was pretty flavorless and the topping was overwhelmingly sweet. That's ok though. My mom ordered the lingonberry sour cream - and was served the raspberry by accident - our waitress brought the correct one out, and we kept the raspberry one at no charge. The lingonberry was kind of sour, but we still took all the leftovers home.
Great experience, will return!
