About 131 MAIN Restaurant
131 MAIN Restaurant Reviews
I worked at 131 Main for approximately nine months, which gave me ample time to observe how the business is truly run. Unfortunately, my experience was profoundly disappointing and deeply concerning. The management culture is unprofessional, dismissive, and harmful. During my time there, I repeatedly observed managers making inappropriate and demeaning remarks about guests, while internally treating customers as nothing more than revenue figures rather than people deserving respect.

131 MAIN Restaurant offers a wonderful atmosphere, making it a favorite for many. The restaurant fills up fast, so reservations are recommended, but they provide a beautiful terrace with launch chairs for guests to enjoy a beverage while waiting for a table. The food is consistently described as delicious and excellent, with specific mentions of outstanding meals like the mushroom artichoke soup, grilled halibut, and filet mignon. For those who enjoy ribs, this is noted as the place to go. The cornbread is highlighted as being better than anywhere else, comparable to a dessert and large enough to share. Desserts like the banana cream pie are also highly praised, with one reviewer calling it the best they've ever had. The service is frequently commended as attentive, great, impeccable, and top-notch, with staff being personable and friendly. While most meals are excellent, one reviewer noted that the French Fries were not freshly prepared and were soggy. Despite the prices being on the higher side, the overall experience, including the atmosphere and service, makes 131 MAIN a restaurant to measure others by.
