Went for a drive on a beautiful fall day and stopped at Pub 981 for lunch. First impressions were really good. They followed the covid protocols and were very friendly. Nice atmosphere in dinning room. Service was very fast and friendly. However, things began to fall apart when drinks were delivered. My wife and I each had a draught beer, her cracked canoe was very flat and odd tasting. I asked to have a different one which they quickly complied. My wife had the clams and salad. They were just ok, and actually wet and not very well cooked, they were very pricy and nothing exceptional. I had the smoked meat sandwich. I have to be honest a say it was the worst i have ever had.

It's definitely a stop to try out at least once, or something you have to live with since its the only establishment legally serving alcohol in...
Read moreWas very disappointed in our service this evening. We were two people and when we arrived ordered our drinks (rum and coke and water). They tried to bring back a single shot of rum in a glass... no coke and no water. I had to ask the waitress 4 times for a glass of water which was only brought after our food was served. When we finished our food we waited 30 minutes for a take out box and our bill. There was only 1 waitress working, 1 person clearing tables and then a third person wiping salt shakers and sitting down talking to people she knew.. assuming the owner. Don't bother going if you arent a...
