We avoid the summer crowds overall at kosher restaurants like this but give ourselves a treat at the end of the season. We arrived on a Tuesday night without reservations. We were greeted pleasantly immediately even though the place was packed and people were continually walking up. A seat under the lower building pavilion with view of the water was offered within 15 minutes. The table was clean and menus provided.We flagged down a server after 20 minutes and placed our orders. Our cocktails (the highlight of the meal) arrived within 15 minutes. The berry cocktail and the spiced bourbon mandarin orange cocktail were delicious. Over the next 45 minutes we received our 'progressive' dinner. First to arrive was the Chefs Special $32 . It was lukewarm, the polenta was watered down and thinly spread. There were a number of mushrooms, 4 cubes of meat and 1/2 stalk of asparagus. Our server checked on us at that point and we asked for ice water.As we were finishing that the creamy mashed potatoes arrived. $12 for 3/4 cup of lukewarm mashed potatoes obviously made up from a box of instant flakes and heavily salted. We were hungry so we nibbled at it. Sometime later the Flanken Bbq ribs arrived $31. We would order them if we come again. Tasty sauce , several ounces of tender meat on 2 separate bones good for sharing. As we were finishing that the Crispy Broccolli arrived$15. We were expecting (our fault for not asking) a fresh portion of broccoli with some crispy treatment . We received a large portion of super deep fried coated florets like you can buy in the freezer from B'gan. The server stopped by and we again requested ice water and noted that the Bison Sampler $57 had not arrived. Shortly thereafter both items came to the table. The 6mushrooms were of a similar nature to the Broccolli, the 4 chicken strips were similar to Of Tov from the freezer and there were 4 large deep fried wraps filled with pulled beef and avocado.
With tip it was $270
We would return for the Flanken and cocktails but skip the other items read more
