| - I was thoroughly unimpressed with my dining experience here on a recent Saturday night. Luckily (or unluckily), getting a reservation for two on short notice was easy peasy, but then mediocrity ensued.
Our waitress was very busy not attending to us. We saw her maybe every 20 minutes, and we were in and out in about 45 minutes - you do the math. I could see the place was pretty packed with some tables of larger parties, but considering the price tag of our meal, I was expecting a bit more in terms of service and experience.
Next, the food. I respect that 131 Main seems to focus their menu on seasonal produce, and makes an effort to come up with creative spins on traditional American dishes. But what was actually served was not very exciting. My date got meatloaf and I had the crab cake salad. His meatloaf tasted like it came from a cafeteria. My salad was fresh, and the lump crab was generous, but the mustard sauce on the side was overpowering and heavily mayonaissed. Didn't quite go with the rest of my light and delicate plate.
I liked the dim, romantic atmosphere here, but probably won't be going back.
