They've done a good job on the environment
Staff is friendly
on to the cons...
the review below describes a lunch take out order
Serving staff does not have a snap to it attitude, little to relaxed, stood at counter waiting to order take out for about 5 minutes prior to cashier who waled past me three times even acknowledged me.
Food was mediocre pushing bad. Ordered the croque monsieur. How do you screw this one up? Let me tell you how, the bread was good, sliced too think, and burned around the crust. The bechamel sauce must have been put on with a fire hose, way to think. Too top it off the cheese layered on top, was also burned, not lightly golden, black burned. This sandwich was severally out of balance and tasted poorly.
The chicken was OK. It had a nice smoky grill flavor. It was moist. Here's the rub, the skin was burned, I like a nice char as much as anyone, however the skin was burned. The asparagus was very good, had a nice grilled flavor. The french fries were not good, floppy and not nearly crisp enough.
My overall impression is this place has potential. Good ambiance, good menu. Winning comes down to execution and so far i give that a poor rating.
Sorry guys, I do believe in second chances so I will try again.
