My old review is way out of date. The menu has significantly been scaled back since then. Atmosphere and service were all still nice on the Friday we went, and the food was good. But there wasn't anything on the menu to draw me back as a destination to eat. The drink menu was bigger than the food side. Feels more like a bar/hangout with upscaled food now, than before where it was more restaurant with upscaled drinks. I'd have no problems going back if that's the mood I'm in. Old Review: Tried this place out on a quiet Sunday evening. Service was quick and friendly. Atmosphere was warm and inviting for its large size (could do without the stack of TVs in the back playing Mad Men DVDs though). Food was ok, but bordering very good with a few simple tweaks. Examples: Clams Casino were bland and in need of garlic, lemon, salt and pepper. Some were gritty. Poached Pear Salad - comes with some fried goat cheese, but it was cold and no longer had a crispy shell. Otherwise quite delicious. Braised Short Ribs - the side of homemade potato chips were really distracting against what were really flavorful ribs. They really should pair this up with something else. All of which are not deal breakers. This place is in my top 10 places to go out to eat...and higher on the list when we want to go somewhere nicer.
