Average food, not excellent as I had expected. very thin clam chowder, with only a small amount of potatoes and clams. the chicken entree was good. Incredibly overpriced. Most of the wines are about $15 or $16 a glass. I thought there was a disconnect on how the restaurant perceives itself (i.e. ""fine dining"") and the actual quality of the food, service, and atmosphere. The dining room was tired and worn looking. There was an incredible lack of attention to detail--no one came to ask if we wanted another drink, we had to ask. We also had to ask for bread and butter. And our waitress was overly attentive (yet some how missing the basic details?!) What irked me most was that they offered to take our coats as we were sitting down, which we accepted. After our meal, we had to go find our coats on our own. there was no coat check, server, host, busboy to lead us to our coat. We had to fish through a shoddy coat stand that was overflowing with black coats to find our own black coats. When I mentioned this to the host, he was couldn't care less. very rude in that smug, haughty way that's annoying.
