According to Jacques Snicket in a letter to Lemony in Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography, the food there is dreadful. In the Unauthorized Autobiography there is an audiotape of Eleanora and Arthur Poe having lunch there and discussing what to order. There is also another restaurant of the Anxious Clown in The City shown on the first black and white illustration in The Penultimate Peril.
