Almost all of our group was a . senior, with the oldest being 97. We needed a place that has no steps or anything. Our visit was amazing from start to finish! They provided a large private area and the table set up for all of us that worked awesome. It was in a huge square and everyone could see and talk to each other while sitting. The food was fantastic as was our waitress and the rest of the staff. In my eyes, our visit couldn't have been better. I would highly recommend The Machine Shed to everyone. They definitely went over and above to make everything perfect for us! Thank you!

This Cracker Barrel copy cat restaurant was not my first choice but it was super convenient to my…read morehotel and my colleague prefers walkable restaurants. Much to his dismay, they were out of the one item he even decided to come here for. To his defense, when several dishes on the menu have that one item in it, it takes away a lot of food options. I was planning to pick the smoked wings since I was still full from lunch. He had trouble picking his alternate dish since his 2nd choice was catfish....and the way they serve it here is whole which he doesn't want to work for his food. We ended up walking out and trying another restaurant. Service was friendly and understandable about our choice.

We split the 3 meat plate with Jerk Ribs, Jerk Chicken, Sweet Ting, and they threw in some Curry Chicken because they were sold out when we went the day before. For sides, we had greens, Mac and cheese, and cornbread dressing. All the meat was juicy and perfectly tender, the greens were incredible. I didn't love the Mac and cheese but that's only because I wasn't a fan of the type of cheese used. When we went the night before at 6:45 they were sold out. It's just the owner there so he sells out frequently. I had absolutely no qualms waiting a bit since we got there right when they opened the next day. The owner was so great and everything was fantastic.

We had a private room with pre-set menu that included bread service + soup or salad. Do not skip on the fresh bread with compound butter. I never knew how delicious bacon Parmesan compound butter would be. I want to be a butter snob now and only crave compound butters moving forward. :D Food presentation is beautiful but taste is what wins me over. The tenderloin is magnificent. All of the flavors are in perfect symmetry - the sprouts and mashed potatoes were dynamite. Having broccolini as another vegetable was even better. This is a generously sized dish and easily makes for 2 meals. I can't say enough positive things about my first Fratellos experience and very much look forward to coming back for another taste.

We went to one of their limited dinner services. I had called the day before and reserved a table. When we were quickly seated at a table by the entrance, I admit being suspect of how our visit would go. The hostess asked if the table was alright and pointed out a heater by the table. Not only did it keep us warm, it made our table feel cozy. Despite it being very busy, I'd describe the restaurant as being a great place for a special date. Our waiter for the evening brought great energy. His timing was great and his knowledge of the food served was helpful. Without hesitation he suggested the Napolitana (which was phenomenal). He also made the restaurant less pretentious than I had assumed it would be and it definitely wasn't pretentious). We ordered the empanadas and beet salad as appetizers. Great picks and I'd return just to get the empanadas! As previously stated, I had the Napolitana. My dining partner has the quinoa bowl but added chicken to it. No complaints for either. We finished with two desserts suggested by our waiter. Although truly full from our meal, we polished off the tasty treats. I'm going back, just disappointed I've haven't visited it before now.

I visited this mainly breakfast and brunch place and figured they would be open all day since…read morethey're a full bar, but it turns out they only open late on wednsdays. They're located in an old building along the main street in downtown. For lunch, they seemed to have a short list of items...and not really catering to a red meat eater like me. I picked the chicken pesto sandwich since I normally eat chicken sandwiches for lunch and opted for the house potatoes. Our waitress was very loopy and loud add seemed overly happy about her job. My colleague thinks she was yelling at us whem she spoke, but I believe that is just how some people talk. My chicken sandwich was good...but the chicken breast seemed like a machine formed patty and it was small. I was expecting something a little fresher, like a whole grilled chicken breast for the price. Instead, this seemed like a pre-made patty from a vendor they just heated up in an oven. The house potatoes were simple and pretty good though. They add cheese and herbs and spices to these to amp them up. I can't really speak for the breakfast or cocktail program, but their music was pretty good.
