| - I went here 2-3 times last year, don't remember anything significant [good or bad]. I play in an ultimate league nearby and we occasionally go here after the games. Experienced teammates who has stopped by the chesterland over the past 10 years said they've gone through 5-6 owners in that time.
During my first and only visit so far this year almost a month ago, about 15-20 of us showed up around 8:45, very thirsty and hungry. The patio, which is very nice, does not bring back memories of a typical sterile, suburban patio. Probably built long before the smoking ban, the patio is large, with over a dozen tables, amid mature trees [and shade] with trellises[SP?], secluded from the main building and relatively quiet back there.
Our server was friendly although ostensibly, he was newly hired. We've ordered pitchers in the past, and our server said they didn't do pitchers there. Fortunately, one of my teammates, a regular there, informed the bartender at the patio bar of our scenario. Pitchers, arrived, one by one, several minutes later. In response to our asking whether they had any IPAs, the server was unfamilar with the term. I felt a tad sorry for the chap [And I was in a good mood that night, from our studly 20-7 win !], since he was suddenly slammed, and only had an older couple and their dog on the patio before we arrived.
We also asked for a couple pitchers of water and waited about 10 minutes to get waters.
After waiting for 10 minutes or so, I went inside, saw the place was at least 75% capacity. I asked for a pitcher of water, and tons of cups. As I waited, I was making small talk with the lady next to me, whom I later found out was the owner [Luckily, I was pretty diplomatic stating that our server was inept and overburdened. She immediately went to the kitchen and turned things around. They dispatched 2 extra servers for us, and our service improved as the night wore on and the owner came out and apologized for the scenario and the things they were out of [pulled pork and Great Lakes], as they had been slammed Memorial Day weekend and didn't have things back in stock yet.
The menu is of a typical tavern. The fish sandwich, breaded, but not very oily, hit the spot after the game. Fish sandwiches, as my teammate said, they're hard to be very good although hard to be bad. I concur, and this was on the better side [less than $10] for the less oiliness and came with a small cup of pasta salad.
Despite our mediocre service on this last visit, I'd go here again if I found myself in the area, definitely for the patio, and relative reasonable prices.
