I've had perfectly fine experiences here before, but lately the quality seems to have slipped substantially. We were pretty disappointed with our most recent visit.
Service was extremely slow, and the place wasn't even busy. It even took them a surprisingly long time to seat us. As best we could tell, there were maybe two or three tables of patrons in the entire place. It took probably around 45 minutes for our food to arrive.
The food was alright at first. We ordered Bruschetta as an appetizer, and it was quite good, but the rest of our meal was hit or miss. My wife's bolognese desperately needed more salt, but the salt shakers within a three-table radius of us were all clogged and unusable.
I ordered a burger, medium rare. It came completely overcooked, almost past well-done. The bun was also quite soggy and full of grease. I had waited so long that I didn't have the patience to send it back. They also forgot my fries entirely.
None of these things is a huge deal by itself, and the food wasn't terrible, but it all added up to a pretty disappointing experience. At least everything was reasonably priced. Unfortunately, I can't really recommend this place until they fix some of...
Read moreIf you think you are better then hard working, kind people, and are easily offended, this is not the place for you. If you enjoy amazing food, generously poured drinks, banter, and don't mind whatever someone picked on the jukebox for your listening enjoyment, you are missing out if you do not eat here. We live in a small waterfront town about 3 hours from here and we felt right at home. So much so, we ate here 3 days in a row. The staff here is absolutely amazing. The food was better then some of the fancy places in DC I've been. First night was a Thursday and it was steak night. For $19 we had perfectly cooked and seasoned NY strips, potato, veggie and salad. Night two, I had the fish special of Artic char with a dill creama, rice, veggie and salad for the price of what I usually pay for a burger at home. Night 3 we split a cheesesteak and potato skins and good lord...we weren't in Philly but it sure did taste like it. The women running this place are hard working, salt of the earth but will not put up with a bad attitude (as they should! Don't be a jerk). We frequent this area and are so thankful we discovered this gem. It will be the only place for us from...
Read moreDO NOT GO to this restaurant/Tavern, especially if you are a woman. The condition of what could have been a beautiful historic bar was shoddy at best, but still we thought it could be a diamond in the rough. Boy were we wrong! The waitress/bartender was too busy staring at her phone to answer any questions about the menu, refill our drinks, or check in. We were the only customers dining & there were 2 patrons at the bar. When we asked for another drink, she looked irritated. She then started blaring the most explicit, graphic, disgusting music I've ever heard and I listen to just about everything and am not prudish about profanity. There were at least 3 songs in a row GRAPHICALLY depicting vulgar sexual acts, using the F word & C word, and violence toward women. As a group of women this was especially uncomfortable. When I questioned her she laughed and shrugged. To be clear, this was at approximately 730/8p on a Tuesday. We had intended to sit and have a few drinks and catch up with old friends after having apps and entrees, but due to the crude, unwelcoming atmosphere we chose to spend our...
