The Cobblestone on Main — Restaurant in Town of Webster

On 8/12/2023 my family and I decided to give this place a try. After walking in we were told our servers we're not working the dining area, so we had to go to the bar ourselves and order.... So we did. At first they did not have what I originally asked for which is a very common spirit. So after the server wandered around for a bit, I was informed they didn't carry it. No big deal. So instead of suggesting a substitute, the server pointed at the wall and said "That's what we have, let me know if you see something you like". I would expect that type of answer from a used car salesman. I found a substitute and ordered. Honestly, no big deal. Drink was good! My sister goes to order another round for the table. Apparently the "girl" didn't understand what she was asking for. I walked up to the bar and informed her of what I wanted. Abruptly walks away, and from the other end of the bar has her hands up asking me how many I wanted. I said "two please". Walks back, no eye contact, places them on the bar, gives me a dirty look and walks away. The patrons next to me sitting at the bar were not impressed by her immature behavior. Not sure what the issue was. The drink ordered was as common as running water... Roughly around 9:45PM the staff started putting the chairs up on the tables as if they were closing for the night. With that being said, we decided on one last round to close the night. So we approach the bar, a few minutes later a different server takes the order... Again no eye contact. (this seems to be a common practice at this place) I tell the server what I'd like, makes 2 drinks (the same mind you) and I kindly remind her about the waters as well. She replies "I can only do one thing at time ya know". If she would have made some type of eye contact, or given me some kind of recognition that you heard me, I wouldn't have had to repeat myself. At that point I just walked away.

Needless to say, I will not go back and further more not recommend this establishment. The staff is immature and inexperienced to say the least. Customer service is a tough business. I get it, but the place was not busy, it was a quiet night if anything. Take some time, make eye contact & recognize your patrons. Respect goes a long...

Open space area with both booths and high top tables. Server arrived less than 5 min from being seated so off to a very good start. For drinks, I started with the Peach Tease, peach vodka, raspberry iced tea, and lemonade. Tastes refreshing. Ideal for a summer night. Had the hint of peach and raspberry that pair well together. Mostly tastes like iced tea but you can tell there is a hint of alcohol. Grandma's Pumpkin Pie was a vanilla vodka drink with a pumpkin pie flavoring, and Kahlua. You mostly taste the Kahlua with the hint of pumpkin, which was not overpowering. I'll admit, the flavor overall reminded me of drinking a pumpkin scented candle, so I'd advise to try another drink.

The fried calamari taste salty and savory. Crust was lightly crispy and the sauce was delicious but the calamari was good all on their own with their almost sweet meat. The Pout-tots is a take on poutine with cheese curds. Came with a side of warm gravy, ideal for dipping. The tator tots were ok still but then you bring it together with the cheese and gravy and that's when the magic happens. Forgot about the panchetta as they all fell to the bottom. No complaints; saved the best for last. This explains why the tots weren't as salty. If they salted the tots while keeping the panchetta, it would have been overkill.

The swordfish entree had a citrusy blackened crust but when cut into, it was incredibly tender and juicy. Not overly seasoned to allow the flavors of the fish to shine through. It but like a medium rare steak. The hot pastrami sandwich is one of those sandwiches where you'll want to cut in half. The pastrami was thinly sliced and tender. The meat just falls apart as you bit into it. The horseradish sauce isn't overpowering. Just gives a slight hint so the flavors are not offensive. Definetly enough to take home as well, assuming you had an appetizer prior.

Service was stellar. Portions were large; you'll bring...

I'm going to preface that Cobblestone on Main is a new restaurant and they're probably going through some going pains. The bar was busy, but the restaurant wasn't slammed.

We didn't wait too long for the table. The bar area was really nice. We were taken to their downstairs seating area for dinner which was also nice except for the 3 huge TVs on every wall. It didn't make sense. Maybe downstairs is going to be a bar post pandemic. Who knows...the TVs took away from the ambiance of date night at a nice restaurant. We don't need two huge screens showing golf and another playing behind the music.

Once sat our waiter gave us water and asked for my husband's drink order. I had a sip or two left in my wine glass from when we were waiting for our table. I wasn't asked if I wanted anything or a top off...crickets. My husband's iced tea comes and we order our appetizers and I ask for another glass of wine. Hubs had the clam chowder which was good and I had pork belly tacos. The tacos were ok. They were over dressed and the pork belly could be more well done, but they were still ok.

We finished our appetizers and our waiter was MIA. We still hadn't placed our dinner order. My wine was still upstairs at the bar probably in the wine bottle. The bus girl came to take our menus and we told her we hadn't ordered dinner yet.

The waiter meanders over to check on us and we mention that we'd like to order dinner which he does apologize and take our dinner order. I ask for an update on my glass of red and he says that he'll go check on it.

15 more minutes go by and no vino. The bus girl comes back through and I ask if I can place a drink order with her because I'm now waiting about 45 minutes for a glass of wine. Another waitress materializes, apologizes and gets our waiter to bring me my wine.

Dinner was served and it was good.

I would go back and request to sit upstairs or...
