| - We've been going to Downtown 140 once or twice a year, for last 3 or 4 years, and it was always the place we knew where we would get great service, have delicious food, an overall wonderful dining experience.
I state 'was' because both food and service were definitely not up to our expectations on this last visit. Here is the rundown on what we ordered and why we were disappointed:
- Devils on horseback - good as they've always been
- lobster tater tots - mushy, couldn't taste any lobster, believe they were undercooked
- ceasar salad - I didn't have any but my wife said this was the least flavorful ceasar salad she has ever had
- crispy calamari - like the lobster tater tots, we felt this was undercooked; had a very oily taste
- northhampton bay scallops (medium dish) - scallops with bacon and some other items; the oily sauce overwhelmed the flavor of the dish. Sauce had a burnt butter type flavor.
In regards to service, our server did as best she could but she was handling several tables, one being a large group. We were often waiting to get our drinks, and in one case, when the calamari was served, we didn't have any plates to eat off of, and we had to flag down a bus boy and ask for plates
I certainly hope this dining experience was an isolated incident as Downtown 140 has always been our 'go to' spot, and it's very close by. I'm hesitant to go there again anytime soon.
