We are a family of 6, so eating here is a splurge, one that we do about once a month. Our kids are old enough to help themselves at the bar and go back for seconds. At the salad bar the kids usually get some of the toppings on their plate( not much lettuce), but go crazy on the soups, mac and cheese, pizza and chocolate muffins. Our family favorite soups are the clam chowder and chicken noodle. I love the cornbread with honey butter. I wish it weren't so expensive to eat here!!!! Oh well.... we love this place and will continue to visit.... just not as often as we'd like to!
