  My mom and I had high expectations for this place as so many people have been recommending it to her for years and has good reviews. However, our experience there wasn't as good as others. Although the staff and our waitress was very courteous and quick, the food was as plain as can be and they don't have chocolate cake slices. They have birthday cakes and wedding cakes, but no cake slices for patrons. How are people suppose to know how their cake tastes before buying a whole cake for a birthday party or wedding? Anyways, I had their New York strip steak which was cooked to my preference, but lacked even a speck of spice or salt; very plain. My yellow mashed potatoes had no salt in it as well and was super plain. I tried their soup and could barely eat any of it as something about the broth was off. Very plain like everything else and had a weird smell/taste to it. The bread that we received either has cinnamon in it or was baked next to something that had cinnamon in it. There's no bar although they do serve beer and wine. Above all, the place was chilly and we had to wear our jackets while eating our dinner . I was also the only young customer during my visit. I did order four chocolate chip cookies and two eclairs from the bakery, but when I got home the box contained two cookies and four eclairs. Overall, this place is great for seniors wanting to watch their salt intake, be bundled up in a sweater, and can grab a cookie or two from the bakery. If you're under 60, it's probably best to go elsewhere. This place needs an update if they want to attract younger customers. Also, no chocolate cake slices...such a shame.
