We ordered roast duck with vermicelli noodles and roast pork. My husband loved the roast duck. It was cooked to medium rare. I am not a huge fan of duck meat so I didn't try it. I ordered roast pork to medium. I got medium rare. They roasted it a bit more and it tasted delicious. The combination with saffron rice and beans works really well with this dish. Highly recommend it. The service was slightly on the slower side. We could have got in and out in an hour but we had to wait long to get our check and to go box.

The food was excellent and unique. The quick pickled salad was great. The Thai duck noodles were really good. They recommended the duck on the medium rare side. I maybe should have chosen it to be a little more well cooked. But all of the flavors were great. The crostini was on the house and was delicious. The place itself is casual and nice. There is a separate bar area which seemed really nice too. Looking forward to returning someday.

We were seated immediately which was awesome seeing as it was 4th of July weekend. We ordered the spinach and shrimp dip for an appetizer and we ate that up immediately. My boyfriend got a bacon cheeseburger which he thought was really good and cooked perfectly (medium rare fyi). I chose the drunken chicken which was huge and the chipotle mayo was a nice addition! Overall very good and filling. Slickers is always a good time with friendly customers and staff. I've never had a bad experience here!

Upon arrival the place was pretty busy but we saw two open booths to our left. Due to being a…read morefamily of 5, they told us it would be a 10-15 minute wait for a table, outside and inside options were full. We didn't realize they were attempting to close the section to the left. We waited about 25 mins. Some other families arrived with 4 and were seated immediately. We were finally seated. 10 minutes after we were seated I went back to the hostess and asked who are server is since we still didn't have drink orders. It was the server that was serving the table next to us. She never said, "oh I'll be right with you", even after she went to that table 5 times. They kept asking for drinks and crackers and more items. After I approached the hostess I saw them flag her down and ask her to serve us, not sure if she was supposed to go home, on break or what the breakdown with service happened to be. After the hostess flags her down she comes up to our table and asks for drinks, no apology for the wait or having to flag her down to get service. I said we have been here for 10 minutes, we are ready to place our full order. We order everything. It takes 11 minutes to bring 5 waters, 2 sodas, and 2 bottles of beer. This is after the place has now cleared and is quiet inside. 85% of the tables and bar are empty. 28 minutes later our food arrives. She never came back to ask for refills. She had two tables at this point, ours and a family of 4 behind us. After the food was delivered and we were eating I glanced over to the bar to see the manager, hostess, bar tender all eating chips and dip at the bar due to it all slowing down. The server came right over to ask if everything was ok and began leaving before we could answer. We would like more drinks. Buser never cleared our table. I had to put dirty dishes on the table being cleared next to us. Service was negative stars. I have two stars because the food was really good, the environment was ok. Some cobwebs in corners and the building is a little shabby, but it goes with the vibe. I would rather have stellar service and ok food than great food and not great service.

Without so much as a "happy birthday " she said here are the 2 tables I have. Pick one. One was by the kitchen door and 2 more in the middle of the restaurant! You would think they would have some romantic corners for couples since they claim old world italian ambiance. The waitress was very pleasant but also not even a happy birthday greeting. Our food was ok. Nothing special. We took most of it home. Thought they would serve warm bread but no, cold. No reason to go back there again.

I ordered the garlic Parmesan wings, I never eat wings, hoping that it would have a really strong flavor. Boy was I wrong. There was no flavor whatsoever however, they were cooked perfectly though. I also got a local hard cider and it was amazing. We had to sit at the bar outside because I had my dog with me and there was nowhere else to sit. Service was average nothing amazing. I probably won't try it again.

We went early at 5pm. Hostess gave me a hard time when I wanted a better table for my husbands birthday and refused. Fortunately the food was good but the charges on the bill were more than the menu prices and the prices on the website!

I ordered the Rueben sandwhich, it comes with a pickle and potato chips. When I got it I didn't see the pickle. It ended up being two very wet pickle slices under my sandwich which made my bread super soggy on one side. So make sure you ask for it to be separate. It was just okay. My hubby got the spaghetti and meatballs and he said it was good. We ordered fried mushrooms for an appetizer and they were delicious.

Not thinking anymore about it, we stopped at Walt's Diner. As soon as we went in, I said, "This is the same place!" And the hostess seated us at the same table we sat at last year! It was destiny and it will be your destiny, too, if you try this place. They make their own Italian bread and it's yummy! They also have a great Haddock fish sandwich. Definitely visit here when in town.
