Saurabh KapoorDecember 31, 2015Chicken pesto is delicious. If you want it crunchy, then ask to get it toasted. The chcicken Caesar salad is my all time favorite. Tried the philly. It was well made but not too my taste.Upvote5Downvote

RaymondMarcNovember 17, 2010Clam Chowder Bread Bowl! I recommend get the Clam Chowder on the side and just use the Bread Bowl to dip into the soup. So you dont have to waste a huge bowl of soggy soup. Save the rest of the bowl fUpvote1Downvote
