Valentine's Day 4 course meal was delicious, our waitress was very attentive and through no fault of hers, the food and drink took forever. Frustrating It took about 25 minutes for the server to acknowledge us and cocktails took another 30 minutes for drinks to arrive as the bartender was roaming around aimlessly. Finally received the first course in about an hour. The waiting was torcherous. $$$ for food not worth the aggravation.

There were very few people in the restaurant yet the service was quite slow overall. For a party of 8, 6 meals came out together & the last 2 came out about 7-10 mins later. The fried chicken sandwich was an odd color, had a greenish tint to it.

This place has a chance at being ring great. Adjust the lighting. The music is also not great. The booths are way too close as you sit. Honestly, it’s close to being a place we’d come back to but not as is.

The restaurant was understaffed for a weekend night so service was slow. The arancini appetizers were cold in the center and the short ribs were way too salty. The cod and chicken dishes were good and the portions were generous. We will go back at some point but will not be in a hurry to do so.

A treasure of a local Tavern. The staff is friendly and efficient. The food was very good and the menu, although not large, allows for consistent quality of the meals. The redecoration was tasteful and the noise level was low
