Grumpy Maitre D'
This restaurant does a lot of things right. The food is good. It's a reasonable value. The service is friendly. It's a neat old Tavern.

But you only get one chance to make a first impression. We arrived about 30 seconds late for our 6:00 reservation and we were punished by being denied the right to order off the early bird menu (which requires you to be in your seat by 6:00). The Maitre D' told us we had arrived at 6:01. He didn't care that we spent 5 minutes trying to find a decent spot in the muddy parking lot. That attitude didn't make us feel welcome and we will not return.    [16 Mar 2005 22:23:35]

Great Food and Awesome Atmosphere
I have been here numerous times. The menu is quite extensive and the specials are always interesting. I tried a special, which was wild boar, topped with a lingonberry demi-glace. It came with homemade mashed potatoes and mashed butternut squash. The squash was the best I have ever had. There are lots of small dining rooms, filled with antiques; my favorite was the Colonial Room.    [15 Jun 2006 09:50:17]

I want more!!!
My husband and I got engaged at the tavern. After the wonderful dinner, the server brought out a silver tray of dessert selections and when through each dessert and asked which I want? In the center was a diamond ring, my future husband got down on 1 knee and proposed. Of course I said yes! The waitress snapped our picture and the Maitre d' brought us over champagne (on the house). We plan on going back each year to relive that night.    [12 Feb 2009 13:34:16]
