    Fish tacos and chicken salad excellent along with a bean soup. Shared these great pairings. Pretty here always and perfect place to talk. Noise level low.

    Not a good value. $21 for a tuna sandwich. But, food was good and server was great. The dining room could use a redo! Tired decor.

    popovers were delicious as usual, although the strawberry butter was rather bland. the food was not as good as I remembered. Chicken salad did not have customary bacon-healthier but again a little bland. Overall an okay meal just not as outstanding as it was in the past
