It's a bar and grill. It says so right on the sign outside. The place is dominated by a huge bar. Every table is set with kitschy oversized mugs. There are notably drunk people in evidence. Clearly it's meant to be a casual neighborhood place. So why, when I sit down, am I handed a fancy-looking menu in a little leatherette book, while the waiter goes into a five minute spiel about every item listed? Why do the prices start around $25? And why has no one told the short-order cook in back that he's supposed to be a fancy chef now? Because the food sure ain't chef food, whatever the pricing. I can't add anything more to what's been said by others other than to reaffirm that, yeah, it's that bad. Had the same experience with the mouth-burning, can't-clear-the-nasty-taste crabcakes. The only positive is that maybe for a while having another restaurant on this stretch will make it a little easier to get a good table at Tad's--until everybody has their requisite bad experience here and figures out not to go back. Or maybe the owner will figure it out and change the menu to food they can actually prepare well at reasonable prices. But probably not.
Pros: Umm... plenty of parking?
Cons: Inedible
