Very nice sandwiches. And full dinners here. You can also take out sliced meat and salads which are also good. Worth a drive from a distance for some quality food. Great soups

This was a great place for breakfast - we've been here twice. Food came out in a decent time, was fresh and warm. Lots to order from, and the staff was pleasant without being overbearing. Most tables were on the smaller side (four people), so the noise level was nice and subdued. Don't park out front by the pay meters. There's a free (2 hour) municipal parking lot just around the corner.

So we usually have standard bar fare here but decided to try something different for lunch. Good quick service and advice from the bartender Natalie. Enjoyed the salmon with horseradish... asked for it blackened at Natalie's suggestion, and really liked it along with the garlic mashed potatoes. DW throughly enjoyed the cranberry chicken salad wrap. Glad we experimented with the regular menu! Looking forward to returning. Natalie also made a great cocktail.

Went here with a group for an engagement party. We were a group of 14. They put us at a table in the center of the restaurant. We were served promptly. Several water bottles were on the table. The hostess and wait staff were attentive and courteous.The pre-fix menu included salads, pastas and panini sandwiches. The desserts were fresh and delicious. We were happy with our meal and would consider coming back in the future.

Nancy's is local to us. It is cozy, friendly, and reasonably priced. Their food is always delicious and consistent. Portions are plenty. It is a bit difficult to self park but there is valet available. The only thing I would like is more tap beer and wine by the glass selection. But we always count on Nancy's for a nice time.

Food: Tastes home-cooked. I had the New York Omelette and hubby had the California Omelette. We could have shared plates! Servings are monstrous! You have a choice of kind of potatoes, kind of bread, and kind of soup. Our drinks were always topped. The coffee was hot and strong, my kinda coffee! Price: Great!! So much food for $15/ea, more or less. But like I said, you can share and pay even less!.. or use your money saved to buy dessert/pastries. They have a huge selection! Atmosphere: All grey, black, chrome and glass inside. It looks smart! Itâs huge but didnât feel like it, we were seated in a nice, quiet area. Has a great real diner feel.Service: Exceptional! Not once did we have to ask for anything, other than hot sauce for me and the check. Everyone was attentive and quick on their feet!Parking: yes, they have parking!! No need to park on the street or look at your watch to make sure you donât forget to feed the meter! Ahhh, this alone made this place worth finding!

I visited with a customer who is vegetarian. The only reason I picked this venue was based on many positive reviews. Here's what you need to know about this restaurant----This is a cash only restaurant. While they don't serve meat/animal proteins, they do serve many meat analogue products for those who are flexitarians or trying to cut back on animal proteins. The venue is very small and resembles an old 1950's soda fountain. They play homage to Sri Chinmoy whose pictures and books are plastered all over. You couldn't tell from the staff that this restaurant was buddhist, but the food and culture seemed to be. They only serve breakfast and lunch. They seem to specialize in breakfast, though. we came for lunch and my customer and I ordered the turkey club which was amazing. Served with wheat toast, the veggie turkey and bacon tasted exactly like the real thing. For beverages, there's water and Pelligrino. All parking is on the street. Best to walk.

We have eaten here many times while staying at the Hilton. This time we were at the adjacent Hampton Inn and our nearest meal option was 144. We were here for a late lunch and dinner. Both times, the service was slow, though it was better at dinner. The food was definitely average. The chicken club salad was good.

Mediterranean/Continental/Restaurant
Reviewed By LITTLESTAR1941
This visit to Crabtrees was our first since it opened. Mediterranean/American style is not my first choice for eating out. But to make the wife happy and our friend happy since it was her birthday and our 50th anniversary. The service is excellent with water being repeatedly refilled and the crumbs removed very quickly. The 1st thing that annoyed me was this pesky fly throughout the whole time we were at the table. No one is going take swats during a meal so I have no solution. The front door is constantly being opened. My 2nd problem (and I know it is my fault), was the vegetables. Each dish comes with mashed potato and a mix of vegetables like yellow and green zucchini, stringbeans, and pieces of broccoli(ugh) and some slices of beets (ugh 2).For starters our friend had the buratta salad and i shared the escargot with wifey. That came in the full shell on a plate of garlic sauce which is what makes this dish so good.For main course our friend had the darla's chicken, wife had the salmon and I had the porterhouse style 16 ounce pork chop. The chop was huge and covered with sauteed peppers and onions. The chop was very good but I probably would have been happier had I stuck with my first thought of getting 2 appetizers and a salad. I studied the menu and really wanted the calamari plate and the escargot with a salad.Appetizers and salads run from $11-15 while most main dishes run in the teens to 30+.When we arrived the place was not too filled but when we left on a Sunday nite , it was packed. If you are still hungry for dessert, get the gelato.
