I will start with our server, Zoe, who was excellent. She was polite and friendly. The food was good. The Cod sandwiches were lovely, flaky pieces of Cod. The Chicken Ceasar could have used more chicken, but the romaine lettuce was bright and crisp. Greyhound is a beautiful spot to meet with friends and family, and it has consistently good food.
