This was a horrible experience today. I was standing at the counter to order a piece of cake. One lady cut in front of me and the cashier didnt correct the issue, so I waited patiently for my turn anyway. Normally I would just leave out and go elsewhere but it I wanted to cheer up a co-worker so I stayed put. Three ppl got their orders before I even got noticed. After about 10 minutes I asked for a refund and the cashier said "its actually ready I just have to scoop your ice cream." Thats pretty pathetic and unprofessional. I won't be back but I'm sure they don't care either way.

It has been 20 years since I have been here, but my trip here today was great and just like old times. Some might say it is pricy, but fresh fruit and big portions abound here and worth it to me. Everything was fresh and delicious and a good walk down memory lane. Also the carrot cake was on point. Worth a trip from Michigan.

I absolutely love this place. I've been coming here regularly for several months now. I wish I had found it sooner. I've tried several menu items and they have all been great. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The mixed drinks are amazing. The old fashioned is one of the best I've ever had. Also Tanya the bartender is the best!

We went there for the first time today, with high hopes. We've wanted to visit this place for a while now, and were excited to finally get the chance to do so. We arrived, cashier was friendly, other lady cleaning tables was amazing. we sat after getting our drinks and waited. and waited and waited and waited. the people who ordered after us got their food within 5 minutes. We saw at least 6 more parties order and sit and still received their food before us.

I had a 2 year old, who was hungry, and they kept passing us up. After more than 30 min of waiting for 3 sandwiches and soup, we decided to ask for our money back. the cashier said. Oh wait we have your kids food ready. really? Tooo late. and the man who had to approve the return completely ignored the cashier when she asked him for approval, he WALKED AWAY, because cleaning tables was more important. We love a good soup and sandwich, too bad this place possibly lost a regular customer.

For as long as this restaurant has been here and has been a huge part of Richmond, i am sad to say that this place is a whole different place than i'm used to. Im not sure if it's new owners or not, but why change something when it's not broken? This isn't a luxury restaurant and it's not meant to be, all has been and same great look and taste until recently. firing the workers who have been here forever and changing the whole entire look of the great place. The food is not the same. i have loved my broccoli cheese for my whole life and it's not the same soup i used to love. this place is going down hill and it's not the same restaurant.
