I really like this place. It has an old school vibe...albeit a bit too old school to the point I felt like the chair I was sitting in could cave out from underneath me because the wood was so thin... Dichotomy of hipsters vs. Older folks in their 50s...Dipping sauces like the bacon aioli and thai sauce are necessary with the fries...yummo. Beer-battered fish was good, said my friend. I opted for the buffalo chicken sandwich and it was alright. I have had better. French fries are long, skinny fries that needed seasoning. Hello salt shaker. And they tasted a little off to me. Must be the oil they are fried in. It tasted like fish to me. Perhaps my fries took an immediate bath in the same oil as my friend's beer battered fish? Service was very slow. Our server was MIA for a while and even though we asked for our check, he forgot, and we had to remind him. Noise in this place can be a big headache. There was a party in the back room that was SO LOUD. Combine that with a band playing and well, you get the picture...enjoy the shouting match across the table. Having a first date here would be a nightmare. Mac and cheese looked good but I restrained myself... Compared to other Tremont eating establishments, this place has a unique vibe but be willing to sacrifice food quality (and seasoning) for said vibe.
