| - After anxiously waiting for this place to open up, I got my chance to try it last night... and it did not disappoint! Hands down, best pub food in town and highest quality kids menu. The food was very good, and the service was excellent. Their selection of beers is the best in town, and they source many of their ingredients from local farmers, etc. We need more places like this!
Both my husband and I had the portabella burger, which came with an excellent aioli. He had a side of mac & cheese; I had the rosemary garlic mashed potatoes. Both were very good. My kids had the chicken tenders; one had a side salad (yes, they actually let kids get a side salad if they want!) and the other had fruit (fresh fruit cut earlier that day). Flavor on all was excellent. One tiny, tiny negative - because the food is served on white, large dishes, a beige burger and beige potatoes or pasta kind of get lost on the plate and it makes the portions seem small. When I first got my food, I felt the portions weren't very big - it was my husband that pointed out the plate sizing - but I was satisfied when I was finished. If they had oblong or smaller plates, coupled perhaps with a slice or two of their house-made pickles, that would really round it out. And sides are cheap; just pile them on! :)
However, I'm not looking to take pretty pictures of my food; I'm there to be served in a reasonable amount of time, and to eat good-tasting food that's "real" and preferably local - it's a rare find to find all of that in one package. Just may become our go-to restaurant in Mt. Horeb!
