Despite the fact I've been wanting to go here since it opened, I was totally underwhelmed. They get a star for nostalgia because I was a huge fan and long-time patron of People's (which frankly had much better food), and one star for nice decor and fairly friendly staff. The food was not good.
Listen folks, if you need that much butter and oil in the cooking process to add flavour to the food, it probably means there isn't much flavour. The fried chicken club had good components, but was overwhelmed by bread that was so saturated in butter I couldn't even finish a third of it. And I *love* butter.
We sat at the counter and watched them cook and despite growing up with classic french food I have never seen so much butter used to prepare food in my life. It was gross.
Will give the Crows Nest a try - tried to go tonight but the staff were weirdly discouraging and convinced us to stay at Rose and Sons. Won't be back, but a special thanks from Dr Berenstein and Cardiologists everywhere.
