    The food and service were great! Had truffle potato chips for our appetizer. It was delicious and was plenty for a group of 6. Main dishes were Scrod, 1/2 chicken, meatloaf, turkey dinner, and pot roast. Everyone was very happy with their selections.

    Due to renovations in the Tap Room, we dined in a small front room today. It was quaint, quiet and our server Lori was very, very kind. Food was hot and yummy!! Dessert from the Bake Shop on our way out was wonderful when we got home.
