Furthermore, the broccoli cheddar soup was thin and tasteless. We ended up spending over $30 for lunch for two and left feeling unsatisfied. I’m puzzled by how this restaurant remains in business. On a brighter note, there were accessible parking spaces conveniently located right in front of the restaurant.

My husband's meal was decent, but he requested an apple as a side and instead received chips and a dry pickle. Overall, everything was just okay. We didn't order drinks and shared a pastry, and our total came to around $36 for the two of us, which felt overpriced for what we received. I'm not sure if we'll return.

The restaurant is tidy and clean, and they serve delicious soup. The broccoli cheddar is the standout option. read more The restaurant is tidy and clean, and they serve delicious soup. The broccoli cheddar is the standout option.
