Hostess was friendly as well as our server. We had the waffle fry nachos to start, then I had the grilled turkey tips (they were wonderful!) and my husband had the truffle Mac and cheese with pulled pork. - he did say the pork was a little dry, but asked for some bbq sauce and he said that helped. Restaurant and bathrooms were nice and clean and I loved the simple decor. If you're in the area I would definitely give the Oak barrel Tavern a try!

Even though we were first on the waitlist when we arrived, we still ended up waiting another 20 minutes while several parties who arrived after us were seated before us. There were three girls working the front desk. They were pleasant, but they seemed pretty confused and unsure of how the waitlist was supposed to work, which didn't make the wait any easier. Our waitress was very friendly, and the service at the table was good. The food itself was fine, but nothing really stood out. The children's juice box being $4 definitely caught my attention. It felt a bit steep for what it was. Overall, it was a pretty average experience. We decided to skip dessert and went across the street instead. I wouldn't rush back, but it wasn't terrible. Just not particularly memorable.

Some restaurants impress you the first time you walk through the door. The Dudley Chateau isn't one…read moreof them. Known locally as "The Chat," it's tucked away in a neighborhood overlooking Dudley Pond, in what began life as a private fishing lodge nearly a century ago before becoming a speakeasy and eventually the local institution it is today. It definitely shows its age--and I mean that affectionately. (The Dudley Chateau) The building is well worn, it gets packed, it can be loud, and yes, the restrooms have seen better days. None of that has stopped us from coming back several times a year. Why? Because the food is consistently excellent, and so is the service. The menu goes well beyond what you'd expect from a neighborhood pub, and we've yet to leave disappointed. The staff somehow manages to stay friendly, attentive, and efficient even when the place is buzzing. The Dudley Chateau isn't trying to be trendy or upscale, and that's part of its charm. It's comfortable in its own skin, and so are the people who keep coming back. If you're looking for spotless, quiet, and polished, this probably isn't your place. But if you're looking for great food, friendly service, and a genuine local institution with plenty of character, it's absolutely worth the visit.

Always a warm welcome once you arrive, Ember & Alma is not only a place to get delicious food but a spot where you can feel connected and a sense of belonging. Whether you're settling in for a quiet date night or a leisurely dinner with loved ones, the cozy atmosphere wraps around you like a warm embrace. But it's the food and drink that truly steal the show. The menu is a love letter to Brazilian and South American cooking -- bold, soulful, and bursting with creativity. Every dish tells a story of a rich culinary tradition, taking you on a journey from bright, sweet notes all the way through to deep, satisfying umami. Both the cocktail menu and non-alcoholic offerings match this spirit, offering drinks that are every bit as thoughtfully crafted as the plates they accompany. If there's one dish that captures everything Ember & Alma stands for, it's the bananas bravas. Memorable in the truest sense of the word, they are the kind of thing you find yourself thinking about days later, and the reason you'll inevitably find yourself making a reservation to return.

Overall the food tasted pretty healthy despite having pork belly and chorizo. The seasoning was definitely on the lighter side, where the french onion soup was tasting pretty close to an extremely light broth. Tried the cassoulet which I've heard of before but never seen on a menu. It was very hearty but also a but bland. Pulled pork and pork belly seemed to have zero salt. Duck leg confit also very bland. It was cooked well but just bland. The dishes with citrus were quite tasty. Beets and arugala salad very good, good quality goat cheese. Alligator chorizo grilled oysters surprisingly good. Never had alligator chorizo before but it was crispy and not fatty even though it resembled bacon visually. The oysters were small, even more small in comparison to the chorizo but it was a good bite. I would recommend skipping the clam chowder, french onion soup (not really caramelized onions to be honest), and the cassoulet unless you feel empowered to salt your own food. The clientele was definitely in the 60+ range. Nothing wrong with that obviously but tastes change with age and maybe thats why the seasoning was so light. Today there were just two wait staff for the whole place. Seemed understaffed and it took almost thirty minutes for food to come out. Waiting for the check took about fifteen minutes. Staff was nice but definitely overloaded. Today was a holiday though.

We asked if the entrees came with rice and she answered and were about to place our order and she walks away to attend to someone else? Would have taken less than 30 seconds and there wasn't anything emergent that needed tending to. Comes back, takes the order (hunan crispy fish and shrimp with ginger and scallion) and the dishes are somehow out in 5-10 minutes. She practically throws the shrimp and side of rice on the table and walks away. Doesn't ask if we need anything else (we wanted chili oil). Another server brings the fish dish and asks if we need anything who we then inform about our request. The original one then comes by and throws the sauce on the table again. The shrimp dish was heavy in red onions and barely had ginger or scallion. The sauce tasted like soy sauce and a starch slurry with nothing else added and it was way too salty. The fish was weirder. It had a breading on it instead of a cornstarch/potato starch batter. The sauce also did not taste like oyster sauce and it tasted like the sauce sautéed with veggies was added at the end so nothing melded together.with the fish. The sauce was overly sweet. Some customers left the table next to us and she sat down in their empty seats and starts looking at her Apple watch. She never once filled up our waters but did for the other customers and did ask if they needed anything else and gingerly places dishes on their table. Felt extremely racist. Avoid this place. Acting like a high school student forced to work a summer job and begrudgingly doing so except she was much older, immature, at best rude, and at worst, racist.

I found a few places along my travels that makes some version of it, but nothing recently. My searching didn't find my Pizza Sub but it did lead me here. This is a small, family owned restaurant and it is delicious. The owners greeted me when I walked in and were super friendly. After looking over their menu I decided the Chicken Parm would be my meal that night. I saw these dark chocolate "Cookies" that were more like mini cakes. I grabbed a package of those as well. The lady told me the other dessert was better, and her description had me until she said "Coconut". I hate coconut. She wanted me to try it anyway so she gave me one to try. I will say it tasted very good except when the coconut would hit. I thought it was sweet how she wanted me to try it. Well, the salad was great, and everything was fresh. The chicken Parm was a great substitution for the Pizza sub. I ate most there then took the rest to my hotel and finished it there.
