I have been here several times over the last 5-6 yrs, and the lunch I had two days ago was terrible!! First off, it took over 45 mons to get our food. A couple that arrived AFTER us got served before we did (group of three)!! The grilled cheese was meh - a pitiful slice of Swiss? I had the pastrami. It was good, although the bread could have been more toasted and less greasy. The handful of fries (an "upgrade" from the chips the sandwich normally comes with) cost $3... waa-ah?? One friend had the "burger of the day" and said it was delicious. Bad service, mixed food results... Sadly, this was the last time I'll eat there. There's no reason to wait as long as we did for our meal. We'll be going to Park & Main from now on.

We didn't plan on coming here, but due to some plan changes we decided to give it a try. First of all, the atmosphere is so nice. It's set up great and it's almost calming. The food.... Ugh. It was painful to have to pick and after trying the rest of the tables choices, I don't think you can go wrong with any option. The servers were so kind and helpful. We're thankful we stumbled upon this place and hope to be back soon!

1st time here and got a wonderful Melt Down fundraiser grilled cheese Sandwich that was heavenly. Super fast, friendly service and cute place. Would definitely go back :-)
We enjoy the half sandwich and soup lunch special. The staff is great. We have been eating here for a few years and are never disappointed.

Great place for lunch with a group. Quiet enough to carry on conversations, very efficient and friendly waitress and excellent lunch fair. Only disappointment was there was no frittata available even though it was on the menu.

Wonderful and hearty food to have after a foggy day of wine tasting. The burger and truffle fries were exquisite.

We really had a terrific time there. I had a half a ham sandwich and tomato soup and it was outstanding. It tasted like those tomatoes were fresh out of the garden. Everybody loved their food. And the service was spot on.

Once again, The Horse Radish came across with a great meal! I was hesitant to order the Horse Radish Dip because it came on a ciabatta roll. I was afraid the roll would be tough. Absolutely not! So glad I listened to my instincts and ordered it. The roll was tender and the sandwich was superb. A cup of delicious tomato soup and a glass of local (next door!), wine made for a fabulous pre-holiday lunch. I'm pretty sure that lunch saved me at least $100 at my subsequent trip to Carlton Farms because I didn't go hungry! In girl math, I just made some serious dough!

Highly ceative menu, mega delicious food, beautiful presentation and superb, attentive service...oh and best coffee I've had in some time. Quaint, charming atmosphere. Lovely experience?Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options carefully accommodated
We had reservations Saturday afternoon and were seated within a reasonable time of arriving. The hostess told us that someone would be there to take our order. In about ten minutes the server came and took our drink and food order.The drinks came right away and then we didn't see her again for 40 minutes. It took that long to get two grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup and baked Brie. I had had the sandwiches and soup before and was really looking forward to it. When we finally got our food after getting up and inquiring, the meal wasn't at all like I remembered. The bread was just plain white bread and the soup was just warm. The Brie was so soupy that you needed to eat it with a spoon. We asked for a box and the server never came back. We had to get up and ask for that, too. Going to try another restaurant in Carlton next time we are there.

1st time, fantastic food and excellent service, second attempt they were closed for an exclusive event, third time they were closed when we arrived (dinner hour) so we disappointedly went across the street only to discover on leaving they were now open and people inside were enjoying their food! 4th time we tried and found the one item we were looking forward to trying was no longer on the menu but we ended up being driven out by the most obnoxiously loud live performance we've ever endured anywhere and I mean this was *loud* (and ps I don't know who you guys were but no amount of volume can make up for a lack of talent sorry) the noise was oppressive and literally felt like torture. We were forced out and didn't stay so yeah it's going to be a solid maybe for now from me. Looking forward to actually trying it again at some point but another miss like these may put the radish permanently off the list. My ears are still ringing.

Very Cute Diner in Carlton. Didn't want a lot, so we split the soup and sandwich. The soup was so good, and the server put it in two bowls for us. Very nice. It was so, so, yummy! Great sandwich as well, exactly what we needed, to get back to wine tasting.

Good prices way too high for what you get. It's meh there People need to just stop eating out until prices reflect what you actually get!

Time to update my comments as they have been in the new location for awhile now. The space is loud like it always has been, the acoustical panels help, but more is needed. It took an hour for lunch and they were not busy??? Food is reasonable, forget the wine and have water, soda or beer.
