    One person in our party requested no cheese on a chicken sandwich. The sandwich arrived with cheese on it. The weight staff corrected the problem quickly.

    This is a great lunch spot. Delectable Spinachoke Dip preceded well crafted and delicious cheesy sandwiches- cheesesteak, Brie and prosciutto, and chicken. Rosemary chips were crisp and nicely seasoned. You can’t beat the chocolate mousse. The staff are welcoming, attentive and efficient. It’s a neighborhood favorite.
