Hello:
Nancy and I were sitting at the bar last night as well. We arrived early around 6 PM and were also pleased to find Jeremy and Mike working the bar. The bar was nearly completely empty and the restaurant itself was certainly not busy.
This was our 5th visit after the exodus of Chef Leo Marino.
Not surprisingly, the food quality dropped very noticeably immediately after the shake-up in the kitchen. Now, in our view, the food is improving but has certainly not fully recovered. Although we have tried much of the menu, last night was just a quick visit and we had calamari, burger, and mac and cheese. The calamari was as good as ever... an interesting rendition of that dish. The burger was way over cooked and not as good as previously. Mac and cheese was ok, nothing special.
I do hope this place improves but nearly empty on a Saturday night is not a good omen.
Ken
