"I ate here several times and overall was pleased with the food. Their chicken sandwiches and salads were the highlights. The service can be slow at times; especially if you sit in the bar area. The bartenders are friendly, but lack the knowledge on how to make drinks unless you prefer your Manhattans shaken and your Old Fashioneds with mashed, bright red cherries. I would not bother ordering cocktails unless you stick to their menu offerings. They offer several house wines, 5-6 beers on tap, as well as some domestic and craft bottles and cans. The bar closes at 10pm which left customers disappointed as they showed up right at closing time for a night cap."

"The food was delicious! Very fresh and hot. We were there with a wedding party of 14. There was only one waitress and it took about 45 minutes for all of us to get our ice tea and or water. The food came out orders of 2 at the time. But it was served hot. It took about an hour-and-a-half for everyone to get their food but everything was delicious. I would highly recommend for small groups."

"Delicious food. 100% satisfied. I had small harvest salad and side of crispy Brussels sprouts. Healthy and good portions."

"The food didn’t get any rewards as it never appeared. For complete transparency, we arrived at 9:00 pm, an hour before closing. Just an attempt to be positive here, menu looked awesome. Love that this place is next to a comic store. I would be slightly more excited for the store if it was open. We walked in, sign said please wait to be seated. This is where my confusion started as there was no one at the front desk. Walked to the innkeeper at the back and they said just seat yourself in the common room. We took advantage of the advice and sat down. We did see two other humans in the room but they didn’t have any food. Started to be curious if we missed a town crier, post in the central square about the place closing early, or it being raided by goblins. No one likes goblins. Sorry if you are a goblin reading this. If you are a goblin reading this, know that the constant raids to steal all the chickens and crops puts you in an unfavorable position with the townspeople. I decided to go to the tavern located to the side of the common room at the inn. As the tavern had a human who looked to be at work and four additional people taking advantage of refreshments, I felt hope! While they had no food, I was exited for the possibility of getting directions to the person who was secretly hoarding food behind the hidden door or perhaps owner of a hidden bag of holding. I wasn’t picky at this point regarding the particulars behind food storage. I sat and listened to a conversation with the bartender and her patrons. I was feeling positive as they seemed well cared for, even to the point of the bartender offering to buy some drinks if the night went poorly. While I enjoyed the jovial and sometimes therapeutic relationship between a tavern patron and their bartender, I began to feel a bit missed, ignored even. After a short period, I began to speak up as I wanted to make sure I still existed in physical form and hadn’t astral projected by accident. Some humans lack the ability to see or hear astrally projected adventures. Apparently my supposition was correct as the bartender rushed out of the tavern to go have a conversation with the innkeeper as I began to speak. As I returned to the larger common room we made the decision that clearly we forgot the secret code or spell that is needed for food to appear. We decided to slink away in defeat and return to a more pedestrian pursuit of fiery large round combinations of bread and cheese…in other words we went to Blaze."

"Very high class restaurant located inside of the Double Tree by Hilton hotel. The food and service was great. Just don't expect to leave without a bill easily over 20 bucks."
