    just back, had some bad meals for the first time

    We really didn't pay too much attention, just kind of ordered what looked good at the time, and shared alot. The mozerella/tomatoe salad was terrific, as was all the salads/sandwiches. The chicken with mashed potatoes and carrots was really good also.
