I thought it was cool that Charles Dickens wrote some of his notes here for A Tale of Two Cities. It's in a very touristy part of town which might be why it tends to be a little pricey.
I thought the atmosphere was quaint and comfy. We came in around 2:30 in the afternoon so very few people were in there. Service was pretty good.
To start, you get free bread and garlic butter. Then, we got free salad bar with the meal. We did not have a ton of options at the salad bar, but they were a unique selection for someone coming from Ohio. They also had potato salad and I always love a good potato salad. I ordered the tortellini ($14) and my wife ordered the spaghetti ($12). These were probably the cheapest items on the menu. The tortellini was covered in cheese and it was exactly what I was hoping for. Italian food is not my top choice usually so I was quite happy with what I had. My wife really enjoyed her spaghetti especially the spicy sauce. I thought the portions were pretty good. After having bread, potato salad, and pasta, I was quite full and satisfied.
My wife thought I should give this place 5 stars but the price is keeping me from going above 4 stars.
