I had the soup of the day - an Italian vegetable soup with lots of veggies teamed with a rich and thick flavorful broth. My husband had the meatloaf sandwich and suggested by the owner, added a horseradish aioli that opened sinuses but was a great flavor add on to the thick slice of meatloaf. A very charming and relaxing place for lunch.

Oh no! What happened?! We love your basement pub called the PO Box, but the restaurant upstairs…read morereally blew it! I'm changing to a three star review because these two restaurants are really on both ends of the spectrum. PO Box - 5 stars American Table - 1 star This updated review will be about the "American Table" The Good- Beautiful ambiance. Nice young man doing his best as our server. The food was tasty once we got it. The Bad- It took forever and a day to get our food. Some of our food was piping hot and some was cool at best. They forgot all kinds of extras we had ordered like soup. The staff was just strange and clueless most of the time. The Ugly- two tables around us up and left and never even received their food. The staff was bickering around the customers trying to make order out of the chaos. We had multiple meals brought to our table that we never ordered. It's almost as if they don't have a numbering system for the tables or the expo person gave no instructions. We will come back to the PO Box, but never again to the American Table.

I had the bone-in pork loin and it was extremely dry, like make you want to dunk it in your water glass dry. The side of veggies was clearly frozen vegetables warmed up in the microwave. I had the soup, which the waitress described as "some sort of pork soup". I asked for clarification she said there was some other name for that she couldn't recall, but the chef said basically, its pork soup. The broth in the soup was quite good, but other than a couple chunks of celery, it was a lot of pork, seemed like maybe left over pulled pork. But it was my favorite part of my meal. They are clearly going for fine dining with the prices and the look, and they're almost there, but missing the customer experience touches, details, and execution to pull it off. I'm pulling for them to be successful, so I'm hoping they learn and make the necessary changes to make it work. P.S. I was there for a business catered function, they served 3 kinds of traditional pasta, salad, and dessert and that was fantastic. P.P.S. The downstairs casual restaurant is fantastic
