we had a most enjoyable and pleasant lunch here with my sister, Kathie, and her husband, Greg. That being said - i'll move on to the review of the food part of this experience.
The restaurant (at 4th and E. speedway) is in an old house so the setting is really neat. There is a porch and tables inside several separate rooms. this gives a nice feeling of coziness and cuts down on noise from other patrons.
The menu is an eclectic blend of Vietnamese, American, vegetarian, Indian, and Mexican. Bill and I split a chicken salad sandwich on rye bread. There was lots of chicken with crunchy celery and almonds. The only thing that this sandwich came with was some orange slices. The cost was almost $9.
We also split a grilled cheese with onions on white. This was just OK. Nothing special. This was about $6 and again, just came with orange slices. There was an extra charge for the onions which i've encountered before at other places but Kathie and I were also charged for extra mayo - a dollar. I have never been charged for this. of course, we were each served the mayo in a soup tureen sized bowl. We could have easily shared the serving and still only used about 1/2 of it.
We also shared a green salad which was a tiny pile of spring mix with a cherry tomato and a cucumber. This was about $3.
I quit going here because of the good but not extraordinary food; the small portions and the prices. But its a nice place to bring company and visiting friends because of the pleasant easy-to-talk-in atmosphere.
The bathroom is lovely; large with a couple of fake orchids and lots of windows and a beautiful old dresser/table combo.
