    Excellent atmosphere! The prices are great and the food was pretty good with the exception of the bow tie Mac and cheese and margarita panini. Mac and cheese was REALLY over cooked and mush, so that got wasted. The flavor was definitely there though. My daughter said her margarita sandwich was "the most boring sandwich" she had ever eaten so I wouldn't recommend that. She ate less than half of it and the rest went in the trash. It had one small piece of tomato and one piece of basil on one half of the sandwich. The rest was cheese. The bruschetta came out as a bowl of tomatoes, zero cheese, and grilled bread. Albeit the menu said it had cheese, I had to ask for it. I also asked for balsamic vinegar, a staple ingredient for good bruschetta. Once we added those ingredients, it wasn't too bad. Panini sandwiches were pretty good size, and big enough to share. My husband loved the Italian panini. The fried mozzarella was also good. The sauce was perfect. And fresh cut fries... can't go wrong there. The chocolate mousse cake was delicious!!! Very nice to see a good and fresh place to eat in Galion Ohio despite the few hiccups we had. This one should be around for a while, so long as the dishes arrive to tables as advertised on the menu. (The kids meal said it came with applesauce, but we never received any applesauce.) Very cute inside though. It felt clean and fresh. I do feel I overpaid a bit seeing some food was tossed and one item wasn't received. But.... lesson learned. My husband will eat the Italian panini if we ever returned when visiting family in the future. I give four stars for a clean place to eat, and fresh tasting ingredients. If I had to rate the experience overall including feeling like I overpaid for two items... I'd give it a three. Those things separate an average place from an excellent one.

    Pretty mediocre food, but nice dining experience. The service was great! Ambiance was also nice, with original architecture and wood floors

    The Last Meal - The Caryl Chessman. A grilled ham and cheese fries included even though that wasn't part of her final meal.

    I hope this place doesn't die. Haha! Ok so I am into curated oddities and dark cultural…read morephenomena... and this place has a future if it doesn't kill itself... haha! The museum and the restaurant are exactly what you'd thin. Food was pretty good, they were out of a lot of stuff. My wife's drink was um, Savory??!! It tasted like turpentine, but that why we're here. I got the peoples temple drink. It was tasty. Listen this place has a long way to go, BUT KEEP GOING it the only way it gets better!!! It's low budget, but a lot of us like this! Staff was kind and helpful and the food was great! ‍

    There is not an option for negative stars unfortunately. This was a terrible place to eat. The…read morefirst person you meet is rude. Tells you find a table. Comes over to tell you the drinks, mostly soft drinks. Brings out cans of soda. No cups, no straws. The best was we ordered a diet coke and she brings back regular coke, we ask for the correct drink and she brings back a small can of coke zero. The menu is barely legible and the print you can't even read it. We all ordered smash burgers, fries and onion rings. Took 45 minutes for they to come out. The burger was supposed to have onions I think we each had one tiny piece. The burgers were either undercooked or overcooked. No seasoning and quite frankly disgusting. Each of took maybe one bite and that was enough. The fries were definitely air fryer quality. Our waitress yeah saw her once. She never came over to check or offer boxes which none of us wanted anyway. We wanted to pay our check and we had to track her down. The front is for the museum that back bar area is for the restaurant. Gave us total, sign says they prefer cash, but they don't have enough on hand to make change in the back, so back to the front and guess what still not enough change. So by default she got a tip for doing the absolute bare minimum. Now we are waiting to see if any one of us gets food poisoning. Disgusting food, terrible staff and just horrible experience which is sad considering we all drove over an hour to go.
