Chris and i ate lunch here per my suggestion because i had read that they remodeled making the restaurant more young people friendly and hip and cool and also that they had expanded their menu and lowered prices.well, neither was true. There certainly were some physical changes in the restaurant; the addition of a red, white and blue front door (yuck!!), some yellow and blue framed art work, the removal of the fountain in the lobby and a toilet that had a dual flush - up for poops and down for urine.
But the place remained a haven for the church lady crowd, the elderly matrons post-quilting gathering, the Daughters of the Revolution, and anyone wearing a sweater set with a pearl stickpin.
And the food prices were not lowered. Chris ordered fish and chips with coleslaw for $11. She said the fish was delicious and i sampled her coleslaw which was quite good. I ordered a BLT with fries for $8. The fries were OK and the sandwich was ok. I never saw a sandwich with so much lettuce on it; i bet there were 6 separate leaves folded up. No pickle. and i wasn't offered ketchup for the fries.
So a generic disappointment in the culinary and ambience department. Though the company was exquisitely stimulating as always. (this is just in case Chris reads the blog!)
