A bit disappointing.: We had to wait over 1/2 hr for a table but it is a small place and it was busy so we were ok with that. Once seated the server took our order almost immediately. We were quite hungry due to the wait and my dad who is diabetic was famished.<br/>
The tea that was recomended was extremely weak even though the sever said it was the stronger of the orange pekoe family. I like weak tea and I even found it weak. We waited to see if it would get any stronger but it did not. When we inquired about it being the stronger of the pekoe's the server said "no, I told you..." in a very defensive manner which surprised us. So whatever...<br/>
The food was fresh but skimpy. We really enjoyed the homemade soup and the strawberry salad was exceptional! The fillings of the sandwiches were pretty bland but the bread was super fresh.<br/>
Overall the attitude of the owner was the most disappointing thing. It was busy and the place is small but I would think this would make the owner happy not frustrated.<br/>
They could easily have used another staff person making sandwiches.<br/>
We had a WagJag that we had bought previously and instead of tea my husband ordered a soda. They are the same price on the menu but the owner insisted we pay for the soda because.."no substitutions". She was very...think - Soup Nazi...<br/>
Overall, the place looks nice but is very deceiving. We will not return due to feeling very unwelcome by the owner.
