    Good Place For Lunch on a Rainy Day

    Situated inside of a shopping mall, this is a good place to stop for such lunch-time favorites as clam chowder and Mac & Cheese.

    Doesn't live up to my memory

    Don't change a good thing

    Okay, but not better than that.

    I'm always wary when I go into a restaurant in the middle of lunch hour and the place is near-empty. I was right to be wary. We didn't get bad food or awful service, exactly, but it wasn't good food or service, either. I have...More
