Went for lunch today. Wonderful service and very friendly staff. Had a french dip, and the meat/bread and side were all fine, but the au jus was too sweet. It wasn't bad, but I would prefer something more savory than sweet to dip in. Ordered a selection of pies (4), and frankly, was disappointed in all of them. The filling tasted nearly identical in all 4 pies. They were bland, and more gelatinous than creamy as a \"cream\" pie should be. While the meringue was nice it doesn't compensate for the blah fillings. The attempt to distinguish the different pies by adding a sprinkle of generic chocolate sprinkles on one, and a few mini-chocolate chips on another was misguided. The inside of the pie is what really matters, and the pie cook should reduce the quantity (number of selections) and focus on nailing the recipe for a few pie varieties before swamping the customer with a huge selection of mediocre (at best) pies. \n\nAll that said, the place is new, and is a much needed addition to the neighborhood. I hope they grow out of these \"newbie\" mistakes, and improve the quality of the food (especially the pies). I love pie, and would gladly go back again to give them a chance to change my mind.
