The service was friendly, and the restaurant is located in a beautifully renovated historic train station. Definitely worth the visit!

The service was satisfactory, but the prices on the menu were quite high. Additionally, they do not accept American Express credit cards.

Originally a train depot now a large space but arranged with intimacy in mind. Sat by the fireplace and enjoyed a variety of wonderful dishes from a large plate of meatloaf to a gorgeous bowl full of buttery, brothy mussels and a rich, mushroom and lobster ragout. Don't like the wines by the glass...(they are awful) get a bottle and take the remainder home. Don't skip the dense and delicious chocolate cake, ganache and all! Glad we came out on one of the coldest nights of the year to have our souls and bellies filled.

There were a total of 6 of us in the group. 4 adults and 2 fairly young children. Unlike the last reviewer's experience, apparently no one was out sick as we found the wait staff quite pleasant and extremely attentive. I began with the Clams Casino appy which was excellent. Whole clams with very fresh and tasty breading and bacon. Cooked perfectly, not the least bit dried out. Both my wife and nephew opted for the Gorgonzola Encrusted Filet off the seasonal specials menu (but the wife requested no cheese, which they happily complied with). Both were quite pleased with the dish. Both servings were cooked to order and the both raved over the meat itself. Tasty and tender.The sides of horseradish mashed with bacon and string beans were also tasty. My niece opted for a crock of French Onion Soup along with the salad bar. She enjoyed the soup and salad, from the available offerings on the bar but it could stand to have a few more options. I ordered the Twin Center Cut Pork Chops with caramelized apples and cider demi glace. The chops were boneless and a nice size. They were cooked perfectly, tender and juicy. They were served with garlic mashed and and a mix of green beans, peppers and broccoli, both of which were very good. Off the children's menu we ordered a hamburger and chicken fingers for the kids. I really only had 2 issues with the meal. The first was with the pork chops. The cider demi glace didn't really do much for them at all. I really wasn't getting an apple flavor from it or the caramelized apples. Fortunately, there was some decent apple sauce on the salad bar which helped quite a bit. The other issue was with the burger. Despite the server double-checking at the time it was ordered that we did NOT want cheese, a cheeseburger showed up. That said, the kid didn't really care so we did not send it back. Overall, we all enjoyed our meals, even the chops. I was here once before 3 or 4 years ago and remember not being overly impressed with the food. Apparently there has been a change of management or chef, can't remember which, and it showed. I'd definitely return when in town but I'd probably opt for a steak the next time.
