I and five friends went to lunch here today. Everyone enjoyed their food except one friend that ordered a medium well hamburger, but received a rare (I almost gagged there was so much red blood) burger. I myself, had the Thai Salad which was wonderful. However, and I do say HOWEVER...as I was sitting there-a waitress came up behind me and spilled SIX glasses of ice water down my back. I was drenched and freezing Thank goodness, that very second , I had put my Nikon in its case and moved it; when it happened. The embarrassed waitress apologized profusely and said "I am so sorry! This is practically my first day here!" and we at the table were horrified when her snippy boss waitress said "and this is also your last day of working here!" We did not receive our drinks until we had already been served our meals. To add insult to injury though-they did not even comp my $3.50 iced tea-for which they offered no refills

I have the French Dip with the endless French Fries every time I go there, which is about once a week. I have never been disappointed in either the food or the service. While I am waiting for my sandwich, I have what I consider to be the best Mac and Cheese in the world. If you haven't been to House Kitchen & Bar then you have missed a great downtown restaurant.
