"Stopped in for a late lunch and had one of the specials of the day which was a straight forward but tasty creamy chicken bacon mushroom pasta. The restaurant had a nice layout and looked well kept, although the lighting/atmosphere was a tad on the dark side for a midle of the day meal. Would stop by again"
