Limited menu, most diners have returned to menus close to what they were before covid slowdowns. Candlelight still has rather limited options

Food was very average. Frankly, I didn't finish my burger. The specials menu is not accurate. Be sure that you check what you ordered is included, even if it says it's included. At the top of each section the specials menu says it includes soup or salad and potato and vegetable. But there no potato and vegetable available with pasta dishes. And even though the Pot Roast has sides listed and potato and vegetable listed, you can get the listed sides only, or substitute for other things. The whole menu needs an overhaul for comprehension. The server was nice enough, though he's clearly battled with the menu many times. And the Chocolate Chip Cheesecake doesn't have a single chocolate chip in it. It's more of a marble cheesecake. Another dish I didn't finish. Can't say I'd go again.

I got chicken Marsala, that was so much chicken it could have served 4 people. I got mashed potato as a side with gravy. The potatoes were wet, and the gravy made me nauseous. Other than that, service was excellent and the atmosphere was good.

Stopped in for lunch. Greeted and seated right away. Server came right over and she was friendly. She gave is a few extra minutes to look over the menu while she got our drinks. I decided to go with the cheeseburger deluxe. Prepared as i ordered it and the cheese was perfectly melted. All the food was hot and the tomato and lettuce were nicely chilled. Onion rings were done perfectly. I wish there was a dippi g sauce for them. My wife has a gluten allergy and it would be nice if all the restaurants as well as this one, would better cater to that allergy and train their staff like Disney does as an example. Im not knocking this diner, but more options for food allergy people would get them more business. Anyway, the food and service here was good and i will patronize then again.

We have been coming here for years and it never disappoints. We got the calamari as an appetizer and it was absolutely delicious. Our server was very pleasant and the manager was very helpful as well. Convenient parking and lovely atmosphere.

The atmosphere is awesome but the food and service of this place is really bad. Although I’ve only came here once, the server we got clearly doesn’t want customers here. She looks annoyed, doesn’t give people time to ask questions, and read out the options like a robot. The food are just mediocre
