Since this place reopened as THE Martini my husband and I have been twice. The first time was ehhh but we liked the atmosphere. The 2nd time we went was to give it another try and as well because everyplace else was too busy. That time around it was bleh. We had no desire to return....HOWEVER, after reading recent reviews on Yelp and again wanting to avoid long waits on a Friday night we gave it one more chance. Glad we did! The food had flavor this time around, was fresh, and good portions. And, the funky smell was gone too. I had the tomato bisque with mini grilled cheese and it was excellent! Then, finished with the fish and chips which tasted fresh and the batter was nice and crunchy without the fish being overcooked. My daughter loves the 5 cheese Mac n Cheese and also the trail mix salad. The only complaint this time around was the waitress' lack of desire or even willingness to try to change the TV (of 3 in the less than crowded room) to the college football game playing on ESPN. instead, we had to strain our necks to watch the game on the furthest away TV and be stuck with ESPN News on front of us instead. She even told us she didn't want to ask the bartender to change the channel...because of her lack of effort on that front her tip was only 10% vs 20% which she would've gotten otherwise. UPDATE 2017: food is always on point. Service can be a bit slow but always friendly and when you do get your order taken it comes out quick. Glad this place seems to endure. Great local hang.
