Oh, dear. This place seemed quite promising, as it's a beautiful old house with historic charm, willing to accommodate a group of 14, on an evening when there was dancing in the bar. SO DISAPPOINTING.
They were already sold out of several items on the menu, when we arrived at 7:00 p.m. What was available was OK - not great, but OK.
The staff was nice - I'll give them that. But not enough of them - and the ones who were there were clearly not up to the task. One meal didn't arrive, and when it did, it was overcooked. I think it may have sat under the lamp for too long, waiting to be delivered.
I asked for my ticket at 8:45 p.m., and I eventually received it at 9:40. No exaggeration. Around 9:00 p.m., the waiter came to the table, asking me to confirm what kind of wine I had had; then disappeared for what seemed like an eternity. When I inquired with another member of the waitstaff if she could move things along (she was just standing behind the bar), she said our waiter was in the kitchen trying to separate our checks. (We had asked for separate checks when we arrived.)
Around 9:25, he came to the table with everyone's checks, but mine was wrong. He returned to the kitchen for another 15 minutes. I eventually STOOD OUTSIDE THE KITCHEN DOOR, hoping to intercept him if he ever emerged. He did (at 9:40); but the ticket was still wrong. He looked at it, said I'd been undercharged and I should just pay what was there, and then gave me my receipt. I escaped.
I do not recommend The Yankee Pedlar.
