Not sure who is responsible for the hot table, I only wanted a slice of pizza. A customer came up beside me and one of the girls at the pizza helped him get a couple of pizza doughs and whent back to her station. Just plain rude. It's not the first time I have either had to wait way too long to be served or felt like the employee was doing me a favour when I finally got served.

We ordered the beef, veggie, bacon sandwiches , snack combo and mac and cheese . The sandwiches tasted so good except that the beef sandwich was too burnt. The mac and cheese was a bit too salty. The snack combo came with veggie and dipping sauce, two pieces of proscuittos and three kinds of cheese. The sauce, meat and cheese all tasted very yummy despite that the portion was too small. Overall, this place provides decent quality of food with smaller than average food portion.

Farmhouse Artisan Cheese has all that you need for a perfect charcuterie board and more. I tried out the 14 Arpents, Grey Owl, and Brebisrousse. I highly recommend the Brebisrousse cheese as it was creamy, smooth, and mild. If you're looking for something crazy try Grey Owl, it was a creamy and semi mild cheese. The mold on top of the cheese is a little frightening but it kind of tastes like wine in a way. I don't recommend the 14 Arpents as it smells and tastes like a barn lol.
