    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! ‍

    This was the worst decision we have ever made! We made…read morereservations for 5pm. We go in at 5 and we are told that there would be a 1 hr wait. Ok, no problem we will check out the museum. At 645, we finally got a table. We sit down and the waiter comes over and immediately tells us that they are out of 3 of their signature drinks, pomegranate to make some of the others and coke. Comes back with the drinks we did order (basically our only options were Diet Coke, sprite and water) and then tells us they are out of burgers and almost out of fries. There were only 3 of us and there weren't even enough fries for all 3 of us. Also, judging by the other reviews, and what I overheard outside while waiting, I wasn't really interested in eating much of anything else. We literally waited almost 2 hours to be told that they don't have what we want to eat. The museum was alright, nothing really special... $10 per person that honestly should be included with the meal with the minimal amount of stuff they actually had. If you want a a museum worth going to, I suggest going to the museum of death.
