| - Came here for a late lunch and was a bit disappointed. The service was polite, but very slow.
The "salad" bar had a variety of less than flavorful dishes, most leaning toward the "pickled" or "vinegary" side. I felt the tabouli had way too much parsley and lacked the fresh taste you would expect. The hummus tasted burnt. The very simple egg salad was my personal favorite.
The meat offering at lunch is reduced from the dinner offerings. Sirloin, Top Sirloin, Tri-Tip, Roast Beef, Chicken, Ham, and Pork Sausage. Much of the meat was over done outside and nearly uncooked inside. The meat quality is lower than expected for this price range, too much fat and connective tissue.
The ham was ok, but had the kind of texture and taste one normally associates with a pre-cooked canned ham. The chicken tasted over smoked, that is to say ash like. All of the meats seemed to have been flavored with the same spice combination, and therefore exuded a uniform taste as you moved from dish to dish. The Tri-tip stood out as being the most flavorful and stood up the best to the uneven cooking.
The desert tray looked interesting but we did not partake. The alcohol prices were a bit high and we did not partake.
Overall it was ok, I can't recommend it - nor would I go again for myself, but I probably wouldn't turn down a free meal there.
