    Do they ever clean this place?
    Chris F.

    I go to the Melissa location frequently and have some feedback on this location. 1. Widespread lack of cleanliness. Often the kitchen/prep area is very unclean and unkept with debris scattered on the counters and floor. The drink machine hasn't been cleaned in months, there are crusty bits hanging out of the dispensers, and debris living in the drain pan. The tea machine and containers are covered in crusty deposited and stains. These items should be cleaned daily but haven't been in months. 2. It's a revolving door of people who are miserable in their job. The lights are on but nobody is home at this place. It's not being managed or maintained. This place is so poorly kept that it's gross, I would say it's a health hazard given the condition of the drink station and general cleanliness culture. Either fix it or close it. It's a bad look for your brand.

    Cheese bread

    1230pm on a Saturday. No other dine in customers. Soda dispenser out of almost all flavors but diet Pepsi worked. Ac leaking from ceiling into bucket. Stuff happens in the restaurant business. Friendly attentive and fast service. Wife rates the food as seven out of ten and I agree. Please show them your support, especially for a local business.

    We ordered an XL pep pizza, dry wings, and a lunch lasagna that came with a salad, (a tiny bit of) cheesy garlic(?) bread, and drink. The pizza was a thicker than normal thin crust square cut. It wasn't crispy though, which is a bummer. Man did they skimp on cheese though. -1 The wings smelled like curry, so I was skeptical to try them, but they're actually good! And crispy! Came with baby carrots and old celery. They use the skinny tips as well, just cutting off the leaves. +2 The lasagna isn't so great. It's mediocre. SO much ricotta! And the sauce is too...strong? I'm picky about lasagna though so maybe it stands up to some of the others. -1 The salad. Average house salad. No complaint there. I was excited for a refreshing salad on this warm day. Welp. They gave me old, transparent cucumbers and tomatoes. The cucumbers had slime on it and stared to smell! I don't even want to touch the rest of it. There's olives in it, but I stay away. -100!

    This is "Mac and cheese"

    absolutely disgusting do not come here if you want to enjoy what you are eating. this place is disgusting a saw spiders and roaches while waiting for my food. after I got my food it was not even consumable. please don't waste your time and just go to another location

    I watched the guy take an order back & then gave it to another customer. Very poor food handling process.

    Palios is great. They have pizza, pasta, sandwiches, salads, and ice cream. The pizza is quality and other food as well.

The atmosphere has a very upscale feel while still being comfortable and welcoming. They offer a great variety of cocktails, beer, and wine, making it a perfect place for a casual night out, date night, or a place to relax with friends. Their food options are also impressive, with everything from small bites and finger foods to more filling dinner options. This is great because the staff is always so kind and welcoming. Our personal favorites have been the charcuterie board and the pizzas, both of which are always a great choice. Overall, The Red Feather is a fantastic local spot with great drinks, great food, and a polished atmosphere that makes every visit enjoyable.

The charcuterie board was WAY bigger than I expected and honestly big enough to share as a meal next time. I ordered the Sweet Thai Chili Chicken Flatbread and really liked the flavor, but they were definitely generous with the sauce. It made the flatbread a little soggy, even after trying to crisp up the leftovers in the air fryer. Same thing with the hot honey flatbread I ordered to-go for my boyfriend. Everything tasted great, I'd just ask for the sauces on the side next time. Overall, I'd absolutely go back. Great atmosphere, great food, and now I know exactly how I'd order next visit.

We learned that Hugs Cafe is a nonprofit that employs adults with disabilities, which made us want to support them even more. We had the Reuben, the Peach Gobbler, and the potato salad and everything was absolutely amazing. The jams used on the sandwiches were so unique and sweet, and they paired extremely well with the meat on each sandwich. Every bite was flavorful and clearly made with care. The potato salad was also delicious and the perfect side to our meal. Beyond the incredible food, the service was warm and welcoming, and you could truly feel the heart behind this place.

Perfect spot for breakfast or lunch -- just don't sleep in too late because they close at 3pm! I grabbed a sandwich, a cup of soup, and a drink for around $15, which felt like a steal considering the good vibes included free of charge. Everyone working there genuinely seemed happy to be there, and the enthusiasm was so strong we actually had to defend our food from an adorably overachieving employee trying to clear the table before we were finished. Honestly, if the whole world had that level of work ethic, we'd all be retired by now. Do yourself a favor and stop by Hugs -- good food, amazing mission, and enough positivity to restore your faith in humanity for at least the rest of the afternoon!
