Dining here this past weekend was like being in the Twilight Zone. We had a party of 4 for lunch. Arrived just before or just after 1pm. The online hours read that they are open until 7pm daily but closed on Monday's - there is another sign on the window that reads open Monday thru Saturday until 7pm but ZERO mention of Sunday hours. Yet after we were seated anyone that came in after us had "WE ARE CLOSED - WE CLOSE AT 2PM ON SUNDAYS" shouted at them. How is anyone to know that if everything else reads open until 7pm? So we ordered .. I ordered the veal parm special .. husband ordered the spaghetti/meatballs special .. sister ordered white meat chicken paprikash .. mom ordered the stuffed cabbage special. We were told the soup was chicken and rice despite the menu saying + the board where the specials are written that it is to be chicken noodle. OK - no issue - we all like chicken and rice .. UNTIL .. we ate or tried to eat their chicken and rice. It had eggs in it like found in egg drop soup or sometimes Italian wedding soup. It had such an off putting look that we all just pushed it aside. My mother ordered root beer to drink but kept getting Pepsi/Coke instead - which ended up being a blessing because when the waitress finally admitted her mistake she brought a root beer out and it was so sweet you could not drink it. Nearly 30 minutes later they let mom know that the stuffed cabbage was no longer available so she ordered the hot roast beef open faced sandwich. My meal and the veal parm came out when she was told her dish was no longer available. 10 minutes later my sister was told her chicken paprikash was no longer available so she opted for a BLT .. so while myself and husband waited until they got their food before we ate - being raised with good manners - our meals got cold. Mom was told the mashed potatoes were home made - nope .. they are instant. My sister got her BLT and the final kick in the teeth was it was dressed with Miracle Whip .. not mayo. The waitress blamed all of these things on other wait staff and also a cook that is "losing his mind" .. not once did she take ownership of her own mistakes and confusion. To throw your co workers under the bus like that is immature and unprofessional. She clearly noticed my mom and sister were both beyond irritated so she came over and said the manager that their meals would be free but they had to pay for their beverages? .. really? .. will NEVER be back.

Food is excellent and you'll never go away hungry ?
I placed a to-go order and this experience could have easily been a five-star experience if not for the careless disregard of certain servers. I asked for marmalade specifically and gave emphasis to this and did not find it in my bags. They forgot to give me the slice of pie I ordered and paid for. I also asked right before I left if there were utensils (spoon, fork, & knife) for my orders and without checking my bags, the server who got it ready said everything was in there. I guess I could have checked myself, but it's quite inconvenient to unpack everything especially since there's not a lot of room to do so. And quite honestly, if I did that, I probably would have gotten some mean stares. I know that everyone makes mistakes, but unfortunately, this has happened quite a bit. And I would like to say that there are a lot of good servers there as well who cares enough to do their best. The sad thing also is that I give a tip even when it's to go because I know they work hard and I trust that I am going to get what I ordered. So, why do I still go there, you ask? It's because the food IS good. It would be a great place if it weren't for those bad experiences . And no, I'm not expecting for my butt to be "kissed", just what I paid for.

First-time visit to this part of the country, and decided it was essential to try Lake Erie perch. I wasn't very hungry, but the very nice waiter suggested getting the perch sandwich instead of the platter. That turned out to be a great idea; I ignored the bun and ate the unadorned perch, which was the best way to enjoy the delicate flavor. I appreciated the fact that they didn't over-season the batter or use much salt. This fish could easily succumb to sauces and seasonings. Here's the truth: I said I wasn't hungry, but the full story is that I am a pie fanatic, and read this place has lots of pies. My favorite is cherry. It was not on the "Today's Pies" list. But it never hurts to ask. Turned out I was in luck. And, oh my, am I thankful I asked! Their's was one of the best I've had in my life. Once again, it was simple: the star of the show--tart cherries with just the right amount of sugar--didn't have to compete with any trickery or fancy crust. If I'm ever in Lorain again, I'll be back.
