This place is awesome! So much nicer inside than it looks from the outside. Food was great and huge portions. Our waiter was great and had a great vibe. Drinks were strong and good!

I've paid for some crappy meals in my life. But this one's definitely the worst meal I've ever paid for. I should have known when I saw the advertisements on the glasses.

We went for my niece’s birthday, and it so disappointing. When you walk in, it looks like one of those oldie but goodie restaurants where the locals go. The bar was packed and there were several tables being served. It looks like the set of the restaurant in Cheers: homey, exposed brick, real wood bar and tables, and old school red leather chair cushions.

We had a party of 6, so we had a good sampling of the menu: the mozzarella sticks, garlic bread, chowder, quesadillas, eggplant parm, chicken parm, fries and lasagna. The portions were great and service was solid, but the food was a disaster. The tomato sauce used on everything was unsalted, unseasoned, and watered down. The garlic bread was smothered in cheese and turned the bread into a soggy mess with no garlic and a ton of butter. Mozarella sticks had no flavor and flopped over when you grabbed them. The eggplant parm was mush, had no crisp fry to them. The chicken parm was huge, but the chicken was over cooked and under seasoned. The table came with condiments, but I wish they had put out oregano, garlic, thyme, basil, the works, because nothing was in those foods.

I wish this was advertised as just pub food, but even then, I expect more from a dive bar. I’ve had better frozen dinners from the grocery store.

Their portions are gigantic. Best prime rib around. The lobster roll is something to behold. Friendly neighborhood restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: The dining room is family friendly. The bar can get loud.

Service was spotty. Food was bland. To top it off my friend and zi both got but by a flea and had an allergic reaction. Not sure what happened here. I hadn't been there in a few years. It it used to be great! Maybe this was just a bad night ?‍♀️

Good basic italian food at a very fair price. Back room/bar has live music. Last decorated when the 1st Bush was president. Nothing fancy, but

Good food. Stopped in for the lunch scallops before a football game. Fairly price and good flavor. I’d be open to trying other items. Nice small bar inside.

Hadn't been there in a while. Had a new bartender I think I heard his name was Shane - he was excellent. Service was great, food was great, had the chicken marsala. Bar area was very busy - nice to see them doing well.
