    I took my son here to celebrate his graduation from App State. We had reservations for lunch, but didn't need them as the restaurant was less than a third full. Our server came over immediately. We ordered our drinks and when he came back we asked to start with the bruschetta. He noted they were out of the components to make that, so we ordered the frites instead. He then noted they were out of the aioli. My guy... he blamed it on graduation weekend; they've been busy. Plan ahead, y'all. They didn't spring this event last minute. Anyway, they whipped up an aioli, and it was fine. But $9.50 for a large fry with garlic mayo is excessive. Also, $21 for a chicken Caesar salad? You're in a strip mall with Kirkland's art on the walls and a staff full of teens in jeans and dyed hair. Calm down. Between the four of us, we got two pasta dishes, a wrap, and a sandwich. All the food was fine but overpriced. I'm told the owner is grumpy that students aren't regulars. Dude... they'd need to take out extra student loans to eat here.

    We liked the ambience of their dining room. It was mostly empty when we arrived. Our party of 4 were comfortably seated in a booth for our 5:30 pm reservation. Attempting to order from the menu, we learned from our server that they were out of the pork ribeye I wanted. My wife attempted to order the chicken breast fettuccine Alfredo, only to learn they were out of chicken breasts. So that ended thoughts of any of the other menu entree’s with chicken breast. So my wife attempted to order just the fettuccine Alfredo without chicken, a dish not specifically listed on the menu. She was told that could only be ordered in a child’s portion and not the full “adult” dinner portion. ??? She opted for that. Our friends opted for shrimp menu items, as shrimp was still available. So two of us had shrimp pappardelle with a good wine cream sauce. Our other friend agreed to have his caesar salad topped with shrimp instead of the chicken breast he had originally wanted. Our house salads were bountiful as both side and full salads, and the balsamic dressing (house made we are guessing) was excellent. As we finished our entree’s, the server offered only our checks and did not offer coffee or desserts. Perhaps there were none available, or perhaps the server, who was pleasant, was just not trained to up-sell for the restaurant’s benefit. We will try the restaurant again at a later date to see if improvements have been made.

    Wonderful waitress. She went above and beyond for my daughter’s birthday. She was accurate with description of wines and food.
