| - I had the fried flounder the other night and it was really good. Nice texture on the fish, and the breading seems related to the cornbread that pops up in many places on the menu. Although they serve it with a nice, home-made tartar sauce, it covered up the tasty fish and seemed unnecessary. My wife loves the Roast Beef Sandwich here. I had the "Main" salad and felt there was way too much red cabbage in it, but that is a personal thing and it is large enough that eating just what I wanted was plenty.
On previous trips I have tried the deviled egg appetizer and wasn't a fan, even though I really wanted to be. I never have room for dessert, and I am sure that I am missing out.
Nice atmosphere and waitstaff. On my first trip here the waitress performed my favorite restaurant trick. She asked for our drink orders and then proceeded to tell us about the specials and answer questions. While doing this, the drinks were magically delivered by another waiter to us. How the heck did they do this? Not that magical really, but a nice touch--she wrote them down, held the card behind her back as she explained things. The next waiter by grabbed the card and filled the order. They do this so seemlessly that it seems like magic. I hope that I didn't ruin it for anyone. :)
My least favorite restaurant trick? Where the waiter "remembers" the orders. Hey Kreskin, I am here for dinner, not a kid's birthday party. If it works I am not impressed, and if it doesn't I am pissed. At 131 Main they write it down.
