Ordered one of the daily specials - soup of the day, choice of salad (garden, oriental garden, or Caesar), choice of coffee or tea, and a slice of pie for $14.
The broccoli-cheddar soup of the day was bland - not much else to say about it. Caesar was mediocre - overdressed and devoid of Parmesan, but at least the croutons were crunchy and well seasoned. But really, who comes for the food?
The pie on the other hand was pretty good. Now, I'll be the first to admit that I am easily influenced by large servings - and the slices are huge. The apple crumble pie in particular is piled high high high with thinly sliced, cinnamon-spiced apples and a buttery sweet crumble topping. I love that the apples retain their structure, rather than melt down to nothingness. The flavour is a bit heavy on the cinnamon and would benefit from some acidity, but overall it's quite nice. In terms of the crust, the bottom was a bit soggy, but the sides retained a nice crisp crunch. The vanilla ice cream was nondescript.
Service was average. Friendly servers, but once they took our orders and brought the food, they pretty much disappeared. Nobody refilled our water glasses for at least an hour and a half...
Next time I would probably just order a pie to go... It's more economical and I have no inclination to return for another meal.
