- ONOjax NielsDec 29, 20253.0We had chicken pot pies and the steak mushroom pie, a salmon and a couple of beers. Steak and mushroom pie (not in the photos) was delish. The beef was well marbled and savory. Chicken pot pie lacks a little bit of flavor but was okay. My partner found her salmon dry. Overall, it was a good lunch anyways. Service was quick and efficient.
