"I have been visiting this restaurant quite frequently lately. While some of the chefs could benefit from honing their skills, I genuinely enjoy the cozy ambiance, highlighted by the fireplace and the flickering candles. Most of the food is tasty, although I would prefer smaller portions of carbohydrates offered at a lower price, especially in light of the increasing concerns over obesity and diabetes. I think more restaurants should consider having a diabetic-friendly menu. The staff is friendly and efficient.
I found the smothered chicken delicious, but the portion was too large for me; I would have preferred a smaller piece with the toppings. The green beans were delightful. My friend enjoyed the chicken Alfredo, but noted that it had an excessive amount of chicken and carbs. The salad was quite basic, consisting only of lettuce, onion, and tomato. Since I don't like raw onion, I recommend that it be finely chopped. I appreciate that they offer avocado, but it shouldn't come with an extra charge. Cucumber would be a nice alternative to onion.
Another friend ordered the taco salad, which was good but had an unnecessarily large shell. It would be helpful to have non-spicy choices, such as mild salsa. I found the meatloaf to be too spicy for my taste, and it would be beneficial if this were indicated on the menu for those sensitive to spice. The exterior was overcooked, and the ketchup would be better if it were caramelized during baking. The beef brisket was excellent, although the au jus was occasionally too salty.
The breakfast options are good, but they come with too many potatoes for those on a low-carb diet. While the home fries are delicious, it's easy to overeat them. The sweet potatoes I had on one occasion were overcooked and didn’t have their usual color. I do appreciate that they offer honey mustard sauce. However, the corned beef hash was too salty for my liking. Overall, my experience at this restaurant was mixed."
