It's a pretty small, cozy room and the staff is attentive. ”

Great ambience, great food, great service. ”

Went again this past weekend and it was delicious. ”

have mentioned downtown campiness before and this eatery had a couple suspects, but for the most part I loved the crowd, wait staff and especially the food. ”
- “
The mac&cheese is good, and the green apple sandwich is tasty. ”
- “
ordered the mac & cheese, one of my friends ordered the nice chicken meatball sandwich, and my other friend ordered the curried chicken salad. ”

{they recently added some seafood items to their menu for the summer, so now the lobster roll is the most expensive, at $14.00} We eat there at least twice a week. ”

the curried chicken salad was good too a huge pile of chicken in a sweet curry dressing served on a bed of greens. ”

The food is wonderful. ”

The reality was that we each paid $11 for some of the most mediocre breakfast food I've ever had the displeasure of eating. ”
- “
More and more often lately I have been served stale, or sloppily prepared food that just isn't up to par with Penelope's previous consistently good food. ”
- “
the mac and cheese came with a breaded top and a big slice of tomato baked right in. ”

The Farmers Omlette was extremely plain and came without any toast while, the Nutella French Toast was downright poor. ”

went there the first time because someone told me the food was great and inexpencive. ”

Great ambience, great food, great service. ”

The sandwiches and salads are delicious. ”

If you want a neighborhood place where the food is good then go to Penelope's. ”

My poached egg with ham and fontina was one piece of tasteless sourdough bread, two eggs "poached" to death such that they were hard boiled, draped with one piece of cold deli ham. ”

And a fresh dessert menu. ”

The pita and breads accompanying this dish were also not memorable. ”

This morning we finally made it over to discover that the best part of the experience was the anticipation of good food. ”

Their hand-cut fries are good, too, so don't order them if you're on a diet! ”

definately cute and popular, but the food is terrible. ”

The dip was the best I've ever had, the mac&cheese made me feel like I was down south at a world famous soul-food restaurant, the salad was perfect, and the sandwich tasted just like a beef meatball wedge. ”

With every bite we were mesmerized by how delicious and unique the food was. ”
- “
the pile of fries that came with the sandwich were also amazing thick-cut, hot on the outside & mealy on the inside. ”

found this place while walking to work one day - its very quaint with fresh, tasty, innovative and affordable meals. ”

My wife and I usually go to Penelope's for breakfast, and we always enjoy our meal. ”
