"I made reservations 3 days prior to eating lunch. For 2 people at 12:30 on Saturday. We had tickets for the Haunted Tavern theater inside the bldg. for 2pm and thought it would be convenient. We were taken to the bar area and seated at a pub table. I wasn’t expecting to walk past the dining area when I made reservations (wasn’t told or asked about my preference). I’ve never been before and didn’t know with reservations that I needed to state my choice. The bar area was quaint enough, until my wife looked above our heads and commented about the cobwebs. I sighed, and thought spiders happen. Perhaps a quick dust above the pub tables (they are tall) would benefit the atmosphere. It was also where the staff hung out during a lull in serving, which did get awkward for us since they were talking shop. Hence, Atmosphere 3 starssince I would’ve preferred the dining room. The wife had a Margarita with salt-she said it was very good, and I had a **** Mary that I was also happy about. Tristan, our server, was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Even when the 12:00 show let out at 1:30 and the bar got swamped he provided the check and was able to get us out of there swiftly. Hence 5 stars for Tristan. I ordered the corn beef (highly recommend-melts in your mouth) and two sides, Brussel sprouts and roasted potatoes. They both looked delicious. Unfortunately, they both were so inundated with salt, I couldn’t eat them. Tristan was kind enough to return them to the kitchen. When they were provided, they both came back with no seasoning at all. I laughed and thought I should’ve have said hold just the salt. Even bland, I ate them anyway, since they were cooked beautifully. The wife had blackened salmon, salad and asparagus. also mentioned -Salmon was a little salty and no seasoning on the asparagus. Hence 4 stars for the food. The wife still said it’s her favorite new restaurant. Overall, I recommend the restaurant, and remember when making reservations ask for the dining area. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3"
