Despite ordering from the lunch menu, entrees were all over $25, though the quality of the ingredients and the portion sizes were generally well suited to the price.
That said, the sweet potato fries were somehow both soggy and burned, giving them an extremely disappointing texture and flavor for an upgraded side.
Similarly, the Ahi Tuna sandwich was very poorly prepared, with the cut off tuna completely oversized for the bun and the stack of toppings - onions, slaw, and tomatoes - giving it an extremely messy bite as everything slipped out of the buns. The slaw and condiments were tasty, but they heavily overpowered the ahi tuna, which should've been the star of the show with its fantastic ruby sear.
The real highlight of the meal was the complimentary sourdough bread - freshly baked, crispy/chewy crust, and soft/spongey crumb - which perfectly complimented a bowl of their Clam Chowder. The chowder itself was a massive bowl, tons of large clam chunks, and a perfectly balanced set of flavors: creamy, a perfect amount of salt, and a nice garlic undertone.
Service was attentive throughout, though they wouldn't have to come by so often if they used less ice in their soft drinks - I regularly got 3-4 sips out of a full glass of diet coke because it was 80% ice.
Despite being quite empty when I went (late lunch, ~2pm), it was still quite noisy due to some boisterous families letting their kids run around and the adults seemingly deciding they wanted to sing along to the music. There was also an odd person seemingly taking photos of patrons (based on the DSLR camera and shutter/flashes) who, based on their attire and the how they moved around, seemed to be an employee? Overall quite odd.
While I'll likely go here again with family or friends on a special occasion, the prices are way too high - especially for a lunch menu - for me to consider going here on a random lunch again.
