| - My husband and I were expecting to love this place as much as other yelp reviewers did and as much as we typically like a place with this kind of style. We were disappointed based on such high expectations, but if we would have gone in to Pub Frato with a lower expectations, I suppose we may not have been as disappointed as we were.
We enjoyed the drinks we ordered and the selection of cocktails, drafts, and bottled drinks. We also liked our artichoke app, and the pub sauce on the wings was amazing.
My husband thoroughly enjoyed his pub burger, but i was disappointed with my meal of buffalo chicken tacos with a side of fries. I love a buffalo-chicken-anything, and this had a bit more of a bbq flavor.... maybe it was the cole slaw or something? The side of "hand cut fries" that were plated with my meal were like someone scraped the bottom of the fryer basket for the little crispy broken fries that didn't make the cut; especially when compared to the normal serving that came with my husband's.
Our main disappointment was with the service. We consider ourselves pretty laid-back diners, and we have both worked in food service and have an understanding for what makes service appear slow for diners, at times; there was no excuse for the slowness of our service at the bar. We would try to make eye contact with our bartender to order something, and she'd pass by, maybe five times, until we eventually had to call to her.... when she would pass by, it wasn't because she was busy making drinks, taking an order, or checking on someone, etc, but because she was just leisurely strolling around, looking at her watch, chatting with other servers, etc. The other servers hung out under the spiral staircase most of the evening chatting, and would depart every once in a while to check on a table here or there. I can only assume this is normal.
Menu: 5 stars
Food prep: 4 stars
Service: 2 stars.
