I went to the Main Ingredient for a work lunch recently and while I didn't have a bad experience I do think I need to go back in the evening to get a better feel for the joint.
My roast beef sandwich was tasty (and the mustard was sublime), the service was slightly above so-so, and the crowd/atmosphere was totally in my wheelhouse, but when on the clock dining at an Ale House you can't help but leave feeling disappointed. Seems like my sandwich was crying out for a beer to keep it company.
If I had to complain about something it would be the $3 charge for a flat bottle of "Coke Light." No, really, that's what the oversized bottle said. It wasn't Diet Coke it was Coke Light. The margin on soda always favors the house but $3 for a Coke is re-gosh-darn-diculous.
The location is ideal for post-work drinks so I'll definitely update this review after I've partaken in the Ale House's brews.
