Chessie's Restaurant and its sister restaurant,
The 111 Grill, provide a wonderful menu of American cuisine.
Named after the old Chessie System railroad (now CSX), the Chessie's Restaurant section of the building includes a fully-enclosed dining car to enhance the Americana ambiance they are trying to instill.
The food and service are excellent. I like to gauge the quality of the vegetables to rate a restaurant. In many places the vegetables are over-cooked and rubbery. The vegetables I received here were steamed perfectly to where they were warm and tender, but yet still with a little crisp.
