thanksgiving 2012 - never again. prix fixe lunch for 2 with 1 cocktail, including tip = $$$$135! when we called to confirm the time we found that they had lost our 2pm reservation made 2 months in advance. they were able to "squeeze us in", literally. after standing, in heels, on the front stoop for an hour (where is that southern chivalry?), we were crammed in a corner of a dark room. my gentleman friend had to remove his coat lest it be singed by the fire as his chair was half in the hearth. they had run out of rolls (at 3:30 pm on thanksgiving?), the biscuit (1) was historically correct hard-tack and the corn bread tasted just like "jiffy". this would usually not matter much, but the appetizer i ordered was a single nearly raw scallop sliced thin. with a green garnish. when the expediter finally brought our lunch (charged for dinner due to the delays) i was served desiccated trout, with a clotted, dry filling which included 3 tiny, bouncy, curled crawfish on a bed of greasy squashes. my friend had a traditional turkey meal which did not evidently include gravy for the tiny potato poof and 2 tablespoons of dressing. we never saw the waitress again until desert was served, at which time, at last, my friend received his iced tea. dessert was just ok. the credit card, however, was retrieved promptly and was executed flawlessly. i did see the lovely decor of which others write, as i insisted on being allowed to peek in the doorway. we returned home early to raid the fridge for leftovers, as it was standing room only in the tavern. still waiting for a return phone call from the manager.
