I had always been meaning to try this place, but every time I go to 2nd & PCH, something else piques my interest. Finally decided that today was the day!
When I got there, the service was sort of slow. It was pretty busy, and they seemed to be short staffed, so they were pulling people away from the register to bus tables or deliver food. Not a big deal, though after ordering, I was starting to worry if I would get to eat and get back to work on time. I will say that the seating and outdoor patio is a really nice, chill spot to eat lunch.
I ordered a quarter chicken (dark), plus two sides combo. For my sides, I chose potato salad and roasted potatoes. Not very healthy but they sounded the most interesting. I also got a cup of the chicken noodle soup.
When the food arrived, it really looked delicious and the side portions and soup seemed very generous. First things first. Their namesake dish was delicious. Well seasoned and cooked, very delicious roast chicken. Pretty much just salt and pepper, but tasty nonetheless. Unfortunately, the rest of it was just very, very bland. Like I wondered if there was any salt at all in the side. The roasted potatoes came with a chimichurri, but that was not enough for me. The potato salad had a nice texture, but again was lacking in flavor. The chicken noodle soup mostly tasted like celery and carrot flavored water, but again needed a lot of salt.
Overall, the food came to $23 which would not be bad if the food were a bit better. I might try it again someday, but I'm not in a rush.
