| - Almost want to dock them another star for the way we were treated when we first arrived. Went there fro the first time a few weeks ago. We were meeting another couple for dinner and were actually planning to go to another restaurant, but decided at the last minute to try Beckett's. It was a Saturday night at 5pm ... they just opened. The host that greeted us, said we could have a table, but that we had to order quickly and MUST be done no later than 6:15pm. He said he absolutely needed the table back by then because the restaurant would be completely full by 6:30pm. Long story short .... not true. The place was quite busy and full, but there were at least 3-4 tables available the entire time we were there. In fact, when we told the waiter we needed to order and eat fast, he laughed. He said, "Don't be silly. Take your time. No need to hurry." What??? Anyway, on to the food. Good food, interesting menu, with some unique dishes. Started with the deep fried deviled eggs. It was a nice twist to a classic dish, but lacked enough flavor punch to make it something truly special. The grilled cheese and bacon cheddar biscuits were tasty comfort food. Our table ordered the short ribs, salmon, osso bucco and scallop special. All were quite satisfying. I wanted to try the chicken and dumplings, but the waiter steered us away from that and toward the cast iron chicken ... maybe we'll try it next time.
