I wish they would’ve told me that my martini was gonna come in a plastic cup, and I would not have ordered it. The reason I ordered it is because I saw others ordering one in a glass martini. The pita chips for the spinach artichoke dip were overcooked, even the second order that I requested. It took at least a hour to get our food. they were very busy I understand because Debbie Ross was there, but I was really disappointed in the place, however Debbie Ross did not disappoint !

Pretty cool little pub walking distance from Capital building. Today was a bonus. Perfect weather for outdoor lunch on the Boone's patio.

My 'go-to' lunch spot. I drove there, ordered, got my food. Lots of smiles and friendly faces.
