I wouldn't have chose to eat here as we prefer to stay away from corporate but this is where Grandma wanted to go - and who can deny Grandma? =) We got here around 4:30p on a Friday and the place was empty. Our server quickly greeted us and took our drink order. I was so overwhelmed with the menu, and I noticed there were duplicates between the regular menu and the specialty menus which didn't help. I'm a big fan of small menus that you do really well versus the large menu that you do mediocre. All four of us ordered something different, tho, and it was all amazing. The bread that came before the menu was tasty too - with a few different options. I got the bang bang chicken and shrimp with brown rice and my fiance got the jambalaya. He somehow managed to finish most of his while I ended up taking 3/4 of mine home. It was just as good leftover and it fed both of us lunch the next day.
All four of us also took a piece of cheesecake home. I hope that no one eats the entire piece in one sitting....it took me 4 different times to finish it (which is JUST fine).
I always hear how big their portion sizes are and how terrible (for you) the food is. I don't feel like this is a place to come if you're watching what you eat, plain and simple. If you're on a diet, just stay away. This place is a treat, not a regular eating spot. Their "skinnylicious" menu is a joke - don't let the clever words fool you. Pot pie should never be on a "skinny" menu!
Our server was decent - nothing fantastic - but he did his job. The place was immaculately clean, well decorated and a bit on the noisy side. We will likely take a piece of cheesecake to go but doubt we'll ever return for a meal.
