"I've known about this restaurant for a while, but decided today we wanted to give it a try. If it wasn't so windy, I might have chosen to sit outside, but I will say that the hostess didn't offer that as an option, but there were people seated outside. They have booths and tables inside. I also wondered if she'd forgotten to let someone know that she had seated us, because there was nobody else in the dining room at the time, but it did take a while for anyone to come over and greet us. From that point on our experience was very good. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, he offered suggestions and let us know what off menu special they had for the day. On weekends they also have a Brunch menu, which had some tempting options. We ordered two entrees: Grilled Chimichurri Chicken with Sauteed Spinach and Mashed Potatoes and the Chicken Fried Steak with Mashed Potatoes and Onion Rings. The food was all great! The chicken was tender and juicy, but the chimichurri, which was quite good, was more like a verde sauce in my opinion. It went well with the chicken, so no complaints on that part. The Chicken Fried Steak was tender and tasty and covered with cream gravy. All of the sides were delicious. I was particularly impressed with the Spinach, it had a wonderful flavor and was cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes and onion rings were also wonderful. The entrees also came with a roll, which is topped with honey. I never turn down bread, so right up my street. The prices are little above average, but the portions were large, so more than enough for two meals if you're not a big eater. The one reason that they didn't get five stars here, from me, was the added 3.5% CC (credit card) charge on my ticket, which does appear to have been noted on their menu, however, I didn't notice that, and it's not mentioned by the server, so it was an unexpected charge when I got the ticket. I wasn't asked if I was paying by cash or card, so the CC charge may be automatically added as possibly most people do pay by credit card. I had a coupon, so I didn't bawk at the credit card surcharge, however, I can understand why someone might. This was a first for me, as in all the years and many, many restaurants I've eaten at, I've never been charged for paying with a credit card. Overall, the service was great, the food was great and I know what I know about added costs, so I have all the information that I need to make my decision...I would definitely go back, I'd recommend them, I'd forewarn about the 3.5% CC surcharge and personally, I might choose to pay cash."
