"This review is for the Morristown location. Lot was jammed, place is beautiful. We got there with a 7:15 reservation, a man met us on the steps and asked if we had a reservation, told us it would be 20 minutes and had us wait on the porch. We asked and were allowed to come in and pour our own drinks (BYO) at the bar. We asked if we could sit outside and the same man said no. Then other people came in and were greeted by a woman, she sat them outside. So I asked her and she said our table was ready. The server was nice, took appetizer orders and came back with a bread basket that had 3 pieces of bread (we were 4). Then they brought in (literally carried) a table and put it next to us for another couple (who were at the bar when we got there). When the appetizers came (12 tiny clams and a flavorless burrata) we ordered our main courses 3 pastas and shrimp over pasta. After 1:45 minutes with no food we watched the people next to us (same issue) put down some money for their 2 salads and leave. At this point the restaurant was basically empty and of the 10 12 remaining tables no one had food. So we asked again and they said another 5 7 minutes. As it was now 9:40 we put $120 on the table for the marginal clams, bread and cheese and left to make it to the local pizza place that closed in 20 minutes (food and service there was excellent). On the way out a man (different) approached me and said that they were so busy as people came without reservations and they didn't want to turn anyone away. Zero apology or acknowledgment of the disaster unfolding as we saw others in the newly paved parking lot leaving. Food one star,experience zero."

"I am not sure why so many of the reviews are so good with 5 stars. Maybe it is because 82 Queen has lots of potential to be a great restaurant. It has a charming location in the heart of downtown. Several small dining rooms make the place quiet and intimate. But we cannot taste ambience! We ordered the namesake Queen Salad and found a large salad (large enough for three kind of large) made with what looks like triple-washed greens from the supermarket (you know the kind that comes in a bag) dressed in Krafts ranch dressing with shredded Cheddar and bacon bits-reminds me of salad bars from my college dining hall. The salad foreshadowed the rest of our meal which was very underwhelming. The crab cake was bland. So was the seafood gumbo, it was thin and tasted like a vegetable soup with a few shrimp thrown in. What happen to the roux? The bright spots of the whole evening was the She crab soup and the mini biscuits and salted butter. Even then, The She crab soup is only average. The staff could have been trained a little better-our server left an unused wine glass on our table throughout the evening-he should have cleared it since only one of us was having wine. He also did not clear our used plates until our next course was served. Our dinner costs about the same as the one we had the previous night at The Ordinary but the differences between the two meals were like night and day."
