Friday night was our first time there. A party of three arriving around 430pm. A large parking lot situated on a small hill surrounds the restaurant. The bar/tavern was full of people, most of whom were eating a meal with their drink. We discovered that arriving early was a good thing. The dining room and the tavern section of this place was pretty full when we left at 645pm. I should mention the dining room is spacious with plenty of room between tables. We noticed several tables had reserved signs. Brenda was our waitress and she was a pleasure. Her recommendations were spot on and she made us feel at home immediately. Did I forget the menu? Wow, I got steamed clams with plenty of melted butter. They were excellent. The French Onion soup had plenty of cheese and was a more reasonable price than nearby restaurants. We each had a small salad. It had fresh head lettuce and a large selection of dressings. Our entrees were lasagna, chicken marsala and chicken piccata.Homemade and delicious describes all of our entrees. We ordered sides of squash that were excellent. It was definitely fresh and homemade. A warm, sliced loaf of white bread with plenty of butter was available to eat during our very short wait time. The beer was ice cold and extremely reasonable prices. We got desserts to go, two eclair cake configurations and a piece of apple cheesecake. The servings of everything were generous. Most of our entrees will be lunch today. So how much? $102.06 Like a lot of places, it makes sense to pay with cash and avoid the additional fee for credit cards. Can't wait to return and try out...
   Read moreMy guest had French onion soup and it was good. I ordered a pizza which was also quite good! NOW, if you like the shake cheese, and you take the top off like I do so you can get some, Check the inside of the lid before you use it. Mine was so nasty, brown, rust or old cheese, I'm not sure. The threads of the glass shaker were also nasty. Needless to say, no shake cheese went on my pie!!! The waiter Wass the guy behind the bar, and not so pleasant. He came over after I had 3 slices and started boxing up the rest of my pizza. I didn't ask, and neither did he. He just showed up and started doing what he wanted to do. You need cash here, and my bill was 37 bucks, so 40 was taken at the ATM, and that's what he got! I am a great tipper, but not with the attitude I got here. He also went off about how much of a certain type of beer was consumed here each week after I had a few sips of a draft pint and stated that it tasted sour. There should have been no comment, and an offering for something else should have been made. I got bottle to eliminate the possibility of dirty taps or lines. Have a great day. I would go back if not for the three issues I had on a...
   Read moreI have only been here 6 or 7 times so please take that into account. I went for lunch with my crew of 4 other men. This is a group rating...
The Turkey Bacon Club was great 3 or 4 times. The Mushroom Swiss burger was excellent 4of 5 times. The wings were acceptable everytime. The appetizers were good everytime. The fries were the least consistent... but not bad.
The overall prices are decent. Serving sizes are great. Speed was on the slower side but we'll within acceptable... good food takes time.
Service was definitely the weakest point at lunch. There were 3 bartenders that are solid 5/5. There were 2 that were 4/5 and one that was just miserable. The 1 miserable bartender almost made the group not want to come back, buy the good food and other servers were worth coming back for.
The owner reached out to me and did everything to understand how to not only make our experience better, but try to make sure every was good for her servers as well! She totally gets customer service and being a great owner/manager! Service was upgraded to 5 after this interaction.
Overall, I will definitely be back when I am...
