My visit included a trio of not-so-awesomes.
First, the parking can cause a little heartburn. I was told the Berrybrook Farms lot across the street is fair game after hours, but be prepared to compete for that handful of spaces if you're visiting to catch the big game or it's an otherwise busy night on the block. (We parked at the Teeter and hoofed it.)
Speaking of heartburn, I was surprised my black bean burger wasn't a root cause. It was like eating a patty made entirely of black pepper rather than bean. Cue the tears and runny nose for me and another person at my table who ordered it. My sweet potato fries were pretty good, though, and provided some neutralization. Another dining companion ordered the jalapeno burger and found it to be OK. We all agreed the Wednesday special of half-off draft beers was a welcome complement to the meal.
Lastly, both bathrooms were out of commission during our visit. One of my group discovered this via a virtual punch to the olfactory nerve upon attempting to enter the men's. We had to slink into a neighboring establishment to take care of matters. I can't be stoked about a place that can't keep the lavs in check.
Sutton House has the potential to be a good neighborhood destination for sports fans, with its abundance of TVs (including smaller screens inside some booths) and (in our case) very friendly service. With parking an external factor this still leaves a couple workable hurdles.
