After experiencing not-so-good service and arrangements at Charlie's-on-Main, we were a little apprehensive, yet eager to try Headquarters. We were pleasantly surprised. We were seated right away and served right away. The brandy-old-fashion drinks were fabulous -- hand-mulled and full. I had the baked cod and my husband had the ribs. Whereas he doesn't prefer smoked ribs, he said they were good but would prefer them not smoked. Although the place doesn't have a cozy atmosphere, we enjoyed our experience overall and will definitely be returning . . . unlike Charlie's.
