"I don 't usually leave reviews but after reading the one and only review of my favorite restaurant I felt that I should speak out in defense of a great place.

My food is seldom less than excellent and the entire staff is friendly and passionate about the place in which they work. Lets not get led astray though, this is not fine dinning, and no frog legs here this is still a Tavern.

Ordnete Hummer Bisque/Chowder and a Prime Rib. The lobster bisque was actually quite good, although something on the thin side. The rib and the accompanying vegetables were, on the other hand, pitiative. The meat was overcooked and over as tasty as a McDonald's Hamburger Pattie actually, I think the burger would win in this competition. I suspect that a poor cut, thin cut, completely absent from any season, and a good amount of overcooking were thrown into the factors, which was a total disappointment. In addition, the service of the food quality was exhaustive. The place was practically empty and we had to get our server for check-out as if we had a taxi in La Guardia during the rush stop!...

Don't let yourself be disappointed, this is not a fine dinning, and no frog legs here is still a tavern.

I suspect that a poor cut, thinly sliced, completely absent of any seasoning, and a good measure of overcooking thrown in were the contributing factors to what amounted to a total disappointment. Moreover the service matched the food quality pathetic. The place was practically empty and we still had to flag down our server for the check as if we were hailing a taxi at L...
