Case: Fried green tomato salad and the pork belly appetizers are a must! The ribs were amazing as well! Great beer list and cocktail menu. Beth the bartender was great.

Case: The food was pretty good, the service was not good.  The waitstaff continued to reach across in front of our faces to get plates and bowls, and refused to honor a restaurants.com certificate.  They said it was not for lunch, and we had to tell them when we first got there that we had it.  I showed the manager where there were no lunch exclusions and it did not say we had to show them ahead of time, and the manager became nearly beligerant, yelling and tossing papers around telling me he would show me the contract.  I told him that he should honor the certificate and he yelled NO at me.  When I told him we would not return, he said FINE.  They obviously did the restaurant.com deals to drum up business (it was nearly empty in there) and that is how they treat us?  The food was good, we probably would have returned if it was not for the horrible customer service.  I can see why it was empty. It has the same entrees as every other chinese food place in town, I will save my money for somewhere a little more friendly and appreciative of my patronage.

Case: My husband brought me a box of the Cupkates from farmers market today! They are incredible, so fresh and delicious. Half of the box was gone immediately after opening!!! The chocolate ones are to die for!

Case: I must say that I was amazed that I had purchased a Groupon Now to use for lunch this afternoon and they were not even open.  It looks bland on the outside, I really could not see inside.  I get the feeling that I may have been better off not going inside (but may never know).

Considreing the above, classify the following: Had lunch here with Mom a few months ago- calamari app and a pie.  Calamari was alright, nothing to rave about, and certainly not something I'd order again.  Plus, the batter contained cornmeal (corn allergy), and I'm not a fan of anything that contains cheap ingredients, esp. those that do great harm to people's health!  The pie wasn't memorable at all- I cannot even remember which one we had- it was that mediocre.  The first pie was charred all over, why it was allowed to leave the kitchen and served on a table, we'll never know.  I do give management some credit since they quickly replaced it with a better-looking, yet non-scintillating pie that had more dough than toppings.  Strike three: the noise level was ridiculously high, and the restaurant was only at 50% capacity.  You won't find me dining here on a weekend night based on the terrible acoustics alone.  No, you won't see me spending my money here again.
