                                                              We were really excited to try Prohibition. The ambiance was great and the service was good as well. However, the food wasn’t even mediocre. The best thing we had was the lobster roll. The Caesar salad was your run of the mill salad. It was good but nothing special. The hangar steak was awful. It was cooked super rare and tasted like it had been soaked in liquid seasoning, such as Dales, and then thrown on the grill for a few minutes. The wings were not tasty either. My partner will eat pretty much anything, even if it’s not great, but we left food on the table. This was a truly disappointing experience.
