| - This is a lovely restaurant, and Deane House was the perfect location to celebrate our USA Thanksgiving. The dining room is simply charming, with an inviting bar and river view. The food was very good and service unpolished, but well meaning.
The specialty of the house, Roast Chicken, was moist with a nice Applewood, smoky flavor, but weirdly smothered in salad. The lettuce leaves were huge, and it was as if you had to go on a hunt to find the chicken. This salad concept was a huge mistake. The chicken and potatoes should stand on its own. Scrape the salad "frosting."
My brisket was tasty, but had a Corned Beef flavor, which wasn't bad, but certainly didn't taste like classic brisket. Because of the food discrepancies, I cannot give Deane House five stars, but it is a very nice restaurant, with a maturity lacking in the 17th Avenue eateries. Sometimes, trendy gets a bit much, and the comfort of Deane House is quite welcoming.
