I had been disappointed a while back when they changed up their menu, but things have made a turn for the more interesting. The Krakow sandwich was excellent and the pierogies were fantastic! They truly deserve to be recognized as one of the only places around that makes something other than traditional southern dishes.

I ordered the spinach and beets salad and through on an order of wings at the last minute. Glad I did. Both came out at the same time, which I do not like. The wings where great, the salad not so good. I was expecting thinly sliced radishes and diced beets but instead I gotA salad that was just thrown together. The salmon wasn't seasoned and I had a hard time finishing it. And I love Salmon. Pretty decent size restaurant. They could use some more lighting though.

Loved that it was easy to book last minute reservation AND our table was ready when we arrived. Food was delicious. We had the chicken, shrimp, andouille pasta. So very good. And drinks were just right. Our server was wonderful and didn’t rush us even though it was busy. Excellent!

It felt a bit outdated and had a musty smell that hit me as soon as we entered. We started off with the fried pickles appetizer, which my daughter and husband enjoyed. I ordered the pasta with chicken, Andouille sausage, and shrimp, which was decent—nothing to rave about, but certainly not terrible. My husband had the white chicken chili and a salad; he said it was just okay. My daughter tried the shrimp tacos and really didn't like them at all. My husband tasted them too and shared her opinion. On a positive note, our waiter was excellent. Overall, the food was adequate for the price, but while it wasn't a horrible experience, I'm not in a rush to return.

We were offered immediate seating outside, which we took, but it was a chilly evening and we had not brought jackets (we had not planned nor wanted to sit outside). Ale House food is decent but not rave worthy. I had the salmon, my husband and MIL each had a burger. We also had spinach and shrimp dish appetizer, which was good but not enough bread is given. Service was fair.

Service was nice but the waitress had no idea about flavors in dishes or recommendations. The place was too big and awkwardly laid out. Pricey for what they offered. Beer was good. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t terrible. It was just a completely forgettable experience.

They’ve done an excellent job spacing out the tables, and the restaurant was very clean. All the staff were wearing masks and following appropriate COVID precautions. Our food arrived quickly and was delicious. The drinks were fantastic too. I will definitely be returning soon!
