He said it was delicious. We both ate our sandwiches super fast. It was very good, We were so happy that we tried them out. We're looking forward to going there again. They are right next-door to the Meriden green. We plan to get food again and have a picnic there and go for a walk in the near future. Update : ok I ordered on DoorDash another time unfortunately, I receive the classic vegan chicken sandwich instead of the buffalo vegan chicken sandwich that I ordered. When I called, they were going to refund me for the sandwich or give credit. I took the credit and today I got the vegan buffalo chicken sandwich. It was delicious. I was actually nervous about the bacon and called them to confirm it actually was vegan as well as the cheese. It was very good so glad they are here in Meriden. We

We were greeted with energy and an offer of coffee, and all the victuals came out quick and sizzling. Even though it was oppressively hot outside, I devoured by fried eggs and corn beef with a terrible greed.

I took a book off the wall and perused it while waiting and nobody yelled at me, so maybe a little browsing is encouraged?

As you can see by my previous review, it's been a while since I've been here. Local posts have been…read morevery positive so thought we'd stop in. My go-to has always been the salad with seared scalping a raspberry dressing. No longer on the menu. However, we're always looking for different takes on a vegetarian burger, including Impossible and Beyond. We both were in the mood for a burger and they have the Impossible burger on the menu so we were in luck, or were we? Backup to the arrival. The main bar area was very busy and unfortunately no seats available. So, we were seated in the back which is a very nice and more formal and original part of the house. Totally empty we were seated in front of a fake (non-heat producing) fire, decent ambiance, but it was cold and silent in there. We don't mind the silent part but the temperature was not good. It took a long time before someone came back with menus and a greeting, but we knew what we wanted to order. Two Impossible burgers please. No such luck. "We don't have them anymore", we were told. "Revamping the menu. Don't worry, there will be plenty of vegetarian choices", we were told. How about tonight? We needed to take some time with the menu and there were very limited choices. I decided on the special, asparagus risotto with grilled salmon. My wife didn't really want anything on the menu but settled on the veggie flatbread. The risotto was quite good. The salmon was slightly overcooked but still very good. The three 1/4 stalks of asparagus were good, too, but they could've been a bit more generous with the veggie. The flatbread was a big disappointment. The menu says it is topped with artichokes, spinach, onions, red peppers and mushrooms. We nixed the mushrooms. You can see in the picture that there were no artichokes and no red peppers. There were a ton of tomatoes (not listed) and black olives, which would've been ok had it been for me, but my wife doesn't eat black olives. There were only 4 pieces of spinach. So, after removing them, there really wasn't much left to eat. She wasn't happy. I guess we should've done what the gentleman in the hidden dining room next to where we were seated did, order Chinese food to be delivered!

I don't know what happened but it happened. When my mother was alive, I would come here with family and we always got good meals, but it WAS really slow service. I actually liked the place. However, it was a small kitchen. I took a couple kitchen shifts here and saw how badly it was running. Lots of cross contamination and inadequate food preparation. Supplies were kept in the basement and I got myself locked in the walk in refrigerator once, had to kick it open like I was doing a law enforcement raid just to get out. Meat slicer was unmaintained being that it was one of those automatic ones, it would literally take your fingers off. Huge liability. God forbid you work in the kitchen here or as a hostess, the language barrier was significant. I hate leaving bad reviews on businesses, but this place was in disarray and completeley unsanitary. I liked it when I was a customer, and many other people I've been there with did as well. The food was actually good, but you can't unsee stuff you've seen and this place HAD to go under. The bar kept the business alive, but there were plenty of flaw there too.

I ordered the 2x2x2 Meal, I chose Over Medium Eggs with Pork Bacon, delicious. I ended up upgrading from French Toast to Texas-Style French Toast. I 'd recommend to stick with their OG style French Toast. Considering the bread I upgraded to being a thicker style, it seems like they did not dip the bread long enough in the mix since the middle was very dry. It felt welcoming and overall I enjoyed my experience!
