In the main dining room, hanging quilts and cast-iron baking dishes decorate the stenciled walls. Tables covered in pink oilcloth and dressed with fresh flowers and wooden breadbaskets lined with checkered napkins complete the picture. Service is as casual as the waiters, most of whom wear T-shirts and shorts in warm weather. If you want wine, you'll find a very good wine shop just across the street. Water and soda are served in colorful striped glasses-definitely retro, as is some of the crockery.
Food is home-style and hearty but very heavy.
Some dishes show a Pennsylvania Dutch influence, like the chicken potpie, which resembles a stew with vegetables and noodles rather than the standard version with piecrust. I'd prefer some of the dishes without their accompanying sauces. For instance, the rather dense herb-flavored bread pudding appetizer would improve if it weren't overpowered by a mediocre marinara sauce, which also ruins the mussel appetizer. Potato pancakes, on the other hand, are well matched with traditional apple sauce and sour cream. Most of the main courses could easily feed a small village.
