Summary: Great food but avoid this place on the weekend because the kitchen and wait staff can't keep up.
We were seated for a good 15 min before anyone came to our table. It was obvious that it was chaotic. It took 20 min before we had drinks and a good 15 min wait between courses.
I don't blame this on the waitress completely because they were understaffed in the front of the house as well as in the kitchen.
My husband and I have been there twice. Once we had mussels for an appetizer (yummy) and today we got the smoked salmon platter (very good).
After telling the waitress that we were starving, it still took forever to get our beet salad. The tomatoes could have been a little fresher and the salad could have used a little less oil, but we have also like this enough to get it twice.
For dinner, my husband and I ordered the same thing both times - he had braised lamb shanks (gunormous!) and I had the bollycotton (seafood pie with a delicious cream sauce and flaky crust).
For dessert we had a buttermilk tart that tasted more lemony that buttery, but was a good companion to the Bailey's and coffee.
I wish that a manager had come by or at least we had been offered a free dessert or something, though. The excuses from the waitress about everything from the bartender to the kitchen to the computer gives me concern about how well the place is organized. I hope they can improve the service because the live music and environment is something we really enjoy.
