I have eaten at B&B maybe four times in thirty years. Most of what I remember is still pretty much the same. Let me explain. It's a very funky old building with very low light level, lots of pictures of 40's - 50's celebs, constant rat pack music (I heard "I Did it My Way" twice during the evening) and what has always looked to be a crowd of dedicated regulars. I had a dozen oysters ( total disaster- more later). Mashed red skin potatoes. Medium rare fillet Mignon and shrimp scampi, ice cream and coffee. I'll start with the best. My steak was perfectly prepared and very tasty. The shrimp scampi was cooked properly but the spices were a long way from "scampi". Mostly the shrimp just floated in a very heavy, greasy, butter sauce. The potatoes were acceptable i.e properly cooked. They were bland with no spice and no butter served on the side. B&B's butter is a hard mysterious, orange, blob that only vaguely approximates butter. The salads at B&B have always been a problem for me in that they consist of a plate of Peter Rabbit lettuce served with a separate plate of radishes , onions, green peppers etc that you can add to the lettuce. The dressing is touted as being home made. My French dressing was so bland that it just seemed like oily tomato flavored ???. The only ice cream that they had was Cinnamon flavored - very mediocre. I think they expected you to order this with their Apple pie. My coffee was good. Now the oysters. Twelve oysters ($16) arrived served OUT OF A BOTTLE on these little BS china Oyster shells on a bed of ice along with - you guessed it- another little tub of very bland sauce. They were not fresh and were just terrible. After eating a few I began to worry about the possibility of them making me sick. When I questioned my waitress about this she said she was sorry but that the Health Dept. did not allow oysters to be served on the half shell. I asked her if she had ever been to Vinnies up the street and she replied that she didn't think that they served fresh oysters either. Note after leaving B&B I went by Vinnies and had a great dozen fresh oysters on the half shell. (Delicious and $10.49). I must also say that I had to wait for about 4o minutes for my food even though they were far from busy. I went to B&B remembering some of the quirky aspects of this old fashioned Restaurant. I was not prepared however for the bad food I received or the cavalier attitude on the part part of the staff when I pointed this out. I won't be back.
