In town for training, Old Man Rafferty's was recommended to me by a fellow trainee. It was a short walk from my hotel (Hyatt), and since it was only me, and it was a Monday, I was seated promptly. The menu was interesting because the desserts were listed first (and I would have had one if I wasn't so stuffed!) Even though I was seated in the very full bar area, the waiter was very attentive, and checked on me often. I ordered the calamari, and three cheese ravioli. The serving size of calamari was more than generous, and the dipping sauces were extremely good. The ravioli was some of the best I've ever had. I saw many different people there, from a group that had just gotten off work, a college group having a birthday dinner, and a family with elementary-age children. The decor was sharp and the lighting intimate, but the restaurant is a bit loud if you're looking for a romantic place, mostly because it's so popular.
Pros: Good food, fast service
Cons: Portion sizes were so big, I didn't leave room for dessert!
