In Short – Decorated with traditional furnishings, this oversized bungalow surprises with a creative menu and efficient service. The lunchtime buffet is a local business favorite, covering the culinary spectrum: rib-sticking lamb stew, eggplant lasagna and asiago creamed spinach and tomatoes. Other favorites include a Mandarin spinach salad with a pesto-ranch dressing and a coconut chicken sandwich. Dessert samplers are easier than choosing and offer an ultra-rich chocolate brownie, homemade cinnamon ice cream, carrot cake and more.

Bad food

by westtn

While on a business trip, three of us dined here and ordered prime rib. Bad Mistake!! This was not like any prime rib I had ever eaten. All the orders had a great deal of fat and lots of gristle. Don't know if the knives were dull or if the meat was just tough but we all had trouble cutting our meat and they weren't overcooked so that wasn't it. We told the waiter and when he brought our bills he said that he was going to bring us a surprise. He brought a plate with several desserts that were one bite servings. So if this was supposed to make up for the poor food it didn't work. Everything greatly overpriced. If the prices were cheap it would have been ok to have inferior food.

  • Pros: Nice atmosphere
  • Cons: Terrible food

Don't waste your time or money!

Had Mother's Day reservations for 2:30. We weren't seated promptly.

They had overbooked to the point that they ran out of some food. One of which was the smoked salmon. At $28.00 a piece, this item was one of the reasons we chose to eat there in the first place.

During our meal, a lizard ran across the floor (inside)...not very sanitary. With the brunch a buffet, I had to wonder where else that lizard had been.

If you want brunch, go to Cracker Barrel.

  • Pros: Finally got seated
  • Cons: Ran out of food, overpriced, lizard in the dining area
