Stopped by this neighborhood joint on a snowy Sunday, the place looks quain and stylish but clean and neat. Tried the special's Chile Relleno and I was probably the best I have ever had in my life. It loved up to every expectation, the right amount of salt and oil, not too much no too little, eggs and hash brown made to perfection and the most delightful touch of pico, avocados and cream on the side. Complemented with a descent cup of tea. The service was also great, the girls where there when needed and tended to every request without interfering with the experience. One big big plus is also the seating, nice booths, perfect for families, big but intimate crowds. I added this place to too five places I'd take a date ;)
I got the chicken fried steak. With a side of bacon. Everything was great! Paul my server was Fast and awesome. Was nice eating outside on the patio. Love these cool mornings. Great food portions.
Well, this place is unfortunately no longer amazing! We used to love coming here and the food was always amazing and the staff is great! Today however, the food was super disappointing. The chicken salad was made with iceberg lettuce and it looked like a pre-made salad kit out of a bag. I guess this wouldn't have been as bad but the menu specifically says mixed greens and it is $14! I would have understood if they ran out of mixed greens and let us know ahead of time that the salad isn't made with the ingredients listed on the menu so we could then choose something else. No worries if that were the case, totally understandable! The chicken on the salad seemed different today too. It was good by itself but not the correct flavor for the salad (more of a fajita chicken flavor). Normally I don't mind the price because the salad was amazing prior today, but what is served now is not worth $5. There were other small things too, but it just seems like the quality is suffering and it's not the amazing place my family and I once loved. Overall, this was our favorite place to go out to eat but will not be going back anytime soon. Thank you for all the previously delicious meals and I hope the original quality of food and drink returns!!
We come at least once a month. Sometimes twice! The food is delicious. The prices are great. Outdoor seating is so nice in the warm sunshine but there's also plenty of shade. Definitely plan on a moderate weight on Sunday mornings. Show up with enough time to put your name in and it's worth it!
Got a salad with some seriously bad lettuce. They also forgot to give me the drink I ordered and paid for. When I called and asked for a credit, they refused unless I came back in person. I normally love this place, but this was a bad enough experience that I don’t think I’ll be going back.
