It has its pros and cons ... but I like it.

The menu includes good old Yankee dishes like pot roast and meat loaf, as well as contemporary meat, fish and fowl dishes. The food is always good and the portions are ample. The $20.03 prixe-fixe lunch is a bargain. But the service is very inconsistent. It's never great, but sometimes it's downright awful. Not that the servers don't try. The kitchen is just too slow - especially when the place is busy. Dine in the front room instead of the back room or the pub. And tell the waiter you're in a hurry. Then perhaps you'll get out in under 3 hours.
