We have always been big fans of Thomaston Cafe for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Within the last two months, however, we have encountered a couple of less favorable experiences. On 5 Jan. 13 ladies came for lunch with a reservation. It took 45 mins. for the food to be served with only one waitress. My soup was lukewarm and very pricey ($16 for lobster, corn chowder). Three of us had dinner there just before Christmas - another long wait. Then two of the meals were served and the third dinner sat on the counter between the kitchen and dining room for quite a while until I got the attention of the server who brought the plate over----again very lukewarm. We have also heard from friends who experienced a 20 min. wait just to have their order taken--they walked out. This is all very sad, because the food is delicious with a nice variety and the restaurant is nicely decorated and a very cozy place to enjoy a meal. The wait staff is very pleasant - just not enough of them! Hopefully, the above problems can be fixed so that we may continue to enjoy the Cafe! Connie...

Worth the stop if...
