Picnic House

Perfect lunch spot and great area for a casual business meeting! Definitely seems like a popular area for lunch downtown. I went here for a business meeting. We had placed a reservation because of how busy it would be. It is a very unique and authentic spot. It used to be a hotel back in the day and they have kept a lot of the old architecture which was cool. The menu provided a wonderful selection and options of soups, salads and sandwiches. They have a lunch special where you can do half & half of each. I had the Italian and the soup of the day. Delicious. In my opinion it is an better version and an official restaurant compared to something like Panera Bread. Good environment for casual meetings or just a nice lunch out during the work day.

Had lunch here today. It was a very quaint little spot with a nice ambiance. Service was pretty good. Food was pretty good but not great. I did the lunch option with 1/2 a salad, 1/2 a sandwich, and a cup of soup. The grilled cheese sandwich I got had good flavor but wasn’t a big win overall because of the cheese to bread ratio being off. There was too much bread and too little cheese. My salad was very good and the soup was ok- not bad, but nothing special either. My salad was probably my favorite thing on the plate. Nothing on the menu stuck out to me to where I’d come back to try this place again.

Visited this wonderful place around the corner from Hilton Hotel as I was visiting the city for the first time. Michael was our server and he was the best EVER. Funny, witty, sarcastic and a delight. LOVED the tomatoe soup. Went back the next day for another cup. I do wish they had bowls as the cup was not enough. Lol

I adore the picnic house. The quality of the food is always excellent and I love their changing menu. I'm not a big fan of the entrees and sides being ala carte, however. I think the picnic style choice is good for salads, soups, and sandwiches, but I preferred previous menus where entrees had set, complimentary side items. The choice is nice, but ultimately the chef is going to know the best food pairings, not me.
