This local restaurant is pretty good. It's a fun place to walk in as they have tables & chairs and a full dinner party setup on the ceiling... like the room is upside down. But it's definitely dated, but the service was pretty good each time we have been there (3-4 times now.) The food is good, not amazing, but pretty good. Like everywhere else, the prices for dinner was comparable to others. It actually cost a little over $100 for 5 adults with 4 teas and a water for our dinner this time... which I have to say I wasn't expecting 100%... but it was 5 people and most got the sampler special at $17 each... I think we normally come around lunch time when the prices are slightly lower.Overall (if you can afford the price) it's a nice place with friendly people. No major disappointment other than sticker shock...

The food was great...The service was very friendly. I highly recommend visiting this little treasure in Petersburg. The eggplant parmigiana was delicious!Kid-friendliness: There was a kid's menu. Also, the decor in the environment is intriguing.

I had a lovely Greek salad. The waitress was very accommodating to my elderly mothers dietary needs.Wheelchair accessibility: You may need help with the doors, but we were able to roll from the parking up to the table.

If you are driving on I-95 by this area and don't want fast food, this is one of the better options. That said, the food was terrible. I had the house salad with pizza. They claim to make their own dough in house but the look and taste was prepackaged. My partner had the chicken parm sandwich. Diced up chicken with too much sauce. Not a hit. Horrible wine selection. There were a few positives, however -the other non fast food places had lower ratings on yelp, the hostess/waitress/bartender was pleasant and the cook seemed to care about the presentation of the food (we sat near the kitchen). Perhaps he just needs the restaurant to buy higher quality ingredients.
