I reviewed this restaurant only about a month ago and gave it 5 stars. We decided to go back because we had had such a great dining experience. Same server this time... only what the heck has happened? We started with the artisan cheese board. Ok, I grew up with a French father so I'm pretty darn cheese saavy. Two of the choices were just ok but the third was inedible. I mean BAD. We didn't complain but did mention it to the server only to be basically told that we didn't know ""stinky cheese."" I did see one couple send back the entire board. The couple next to us had a fly in their picked dish and when they told the server, she replied, ""Well, maybe it just flew in there."" They said, ""No, it was here the entire time."" No apology. The main courses were dull and uninspired - roasted chicken and mussells. When our table was bumped, my french press spilled onto the saucer. The server made no attempt to clean it up. Anyhow, I don't care if the server was having ""a bad day."" She should have called in sick. If this had been the first time I had been at Ned Ludd, I wouldn't have gone back. And, I certainly won't try it a 3rd time.
Pros: homemade sodas, flat bread, desserts
Cons: rude, unhelpful service
