| - I wa ass visiting the area when we decided to visit for dinner. Upon walking in their was a 2 hour wait for a table without a reservation, but the bar was open. This is a family style place, so ordering dishes is either in small or large and shared amongst the diners.
Service was informal and familiar. As we dined, others came to the bar and seemed to know the bartender and staff by name. This is great and made me feel welcomed.
The food - I ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio and it tasted like it was housed with food - a bad after taste. The food was OK, not nearly the quality I expected for the price. We ordered the Apple Gorgonzola salad, brussel sprouts, salmon, and Shrimp Florentine. The salad was average and made with iceberg lettuce. The menu said it was to be made with mixed greens. However, the dressing was nice and light and the apples crisp. The brussel sprouts were absolutely wonderful - cooked and seasoned perfectly. The salmon was well-done and dry - I was not afforded the opportunity to request that the salmon cooked to medium well. The Shrimp Florentine seemed to have precooked shrimp and alot of pasta. There was less than an ounce of spinach.
These dishes totaled about $125.00. Again, for the price if the meal, the quality of the food was not in alignment.
If in town again, I will likely give it another try. As it was a popular place, it seems as though they may have some local favorites for dishes.
