The service is friendly and now they have added to your table a machine where you can play games, answer trivia questions, or add to your order. There is a slight fee for the two former items so you would swipe your card in order to use it.\n\nI normally come here during the week when they have lunch specials. You get a choice or soup, half sandwich or half salad of the ones listed.\n\nI normally order the French onion soup along with the Chinese chicken salad. Although it comes fried you can request it grilled and you get a small breadstick to go with it.\n\nIt is a smaller portion than regular size for the same items but since I don't eat a whole lot I find it to be enough. Food is okay. Prices are reasonable.\n\nThey have another option when you come at other times for a 2 party sharing meal which is listed on the menu. \n\nOn this particular visit I noticed a young boy was celebrating a birthday so a group of waiters came gave him a small dessert and sang to him. Desserts are also reasonably priced but not overly big.\n\nI stop here when I want a change of pace and want to save a few dollars on a lunch."^^ . "2"^^ . "3"^^ . . "3"^^ .
