It was exactly what I expected with a chocolate covered cherry to top it off. I had the mushroom soup and avacado Ceasar salad and the orange strawberry drink. I stayed within my calories, and not only did I feel like I had enough food, the food was comforting.

The two guys who were in there were friendly enough when they were helping me, but were clearly towards the end of their shift. It was really slow when I went in. But by the way that the lobby looked you wouldn't know it. The tabled needed cleaned and the area where you put your dishes and trash was overfull. I felt bad for the next shift who came in, now they are left picking up that slack.
