    Our female waitress was so rude. She walked away because we wanted to order drinks as we were not ready to place our food orders. I have never experienced such awful service at ANY establishment anywhere my travels took me. We were going to leave but, saw another waiter and asked if he could be our server. He was surprised, but, said sure! Jack was great, helpful, knowledgeable and turned a very negative experience around

    We biked there and took outside seating to have the bikes near. This was at noontime. The crab stuffed flounder was very good, but wished it had more crab. The appetitizer was a beef thing that was a bit too salty. Beers were good. Service was good. Always like NYAJ's!

    This restaurant has become overpriced- 5 small pieces of seared tuna and a few leaves of lettuce $27. The waiter said the would let the manager know. We never heard from them. Luckily my husband got a lot of mashed potato with his meatloaf so I had something to eat. Used to be my go-to restaurant. Not anymore. At Copper Tavern close by one can get 2-3 times the Tuna salad for $21

    Unfortunately, very poor experience on Mother’s Day. They totally forgot to bring 2 of appetizers we ordered. Chicken in one of the meals was inedible- all fat and gritty. Had to get up and go inside to find a server to ask for refills on water after waiting 20 minutes with no server in sight. Some meals were cold. Ran out of bread and never got more. Talked to manager about the experience and he didn’t even attempt to offer even a slight gesture of complimentary dessert. What is strange as the restaurant was pretty empty- we ate there at 3:00 pm so it was odd such poor service experience. Server was friendly when we saw him but hard to find him.
