"One learns to have lowered and reasonable expectations for a townie joint. Talk of the Town sets a new low. This is a bar, with bar food, bar service, and bar quality. I live and work within a mile of TotT. I’ve eaten there about once a month for at least a decade. About a year ago, new ownership took over and things seemed to take an upward turn for a while. But it didn’t last. Now TotT is just nasty and boring. The food is painfully average and the service is deteriorating precipitously. The LAST time I ate there was for their new Sunday brunch. The limited fare was bland, boring, greasy and grossly overpriced at around $18 per person. There were also some “irregularities” in the bill – double charging for soft drinks and inconsistent sales tax charged. With Barley’s Brewhaus next door and so many other restaurants in close proximity, there is absolutely no reason to eat at this washed-up old haunt anymore."
