Oglebay Garden Bistro — Restaurant in West Virginia

My mom and I had lunch at Garden Cafe yesterday. Lovely outdoor seating, and our server was very nice. We ordered the bagel breakfast sandwich and the daily quiche, and planned to split and share our lunches. The bagel sandwich was good, but the tiny sliver of quiche was burnt. I have never had such a small burnt slice of quiche - I almost couldn’t see it on the plate, which was filled with salad.

Definitely check out this spot and then go see the mansion...
