    The Thanksgiving buffet was good overall. The appetizers, seafood and salads were all fresh. The turkey, however, was processed. There was a whole roasted turkey at the carving station but they sliced from a processed log. The gravy and sides were all tasty however. One complaint we have is that the desserts were subpar. The pumpkin pie and pecan pie literally were dry and tasteless as were the brownies and other items. This is surprising as in years past, at their Mother's Day brunch, they offered a wide variety of desserts which were delicious. The Molly Pitcher must really find a new baker or new bakery.

    Molly Pitcher made our Thanksgiving Day a special one. Our reservation was on time and the food was amazing. There were many options to choose from and it was all fresh and tasted great! Our waiter Chris took great care of us with any requests we had. It was decorated beautifully and everything was spectacular. We will definitely go back next year! It was the best decision to go to the Molly Pitcher.

    We have been going to the Molly Pitcher for Thanksgiving brunch for 18 years. We were so happy the buffet was finally brought back this year. Other than a little mishap with people already being seated at our table when we were escorted to be seated the afternoon was lovely. We did miss sitting in the main dining room as we have for 18 years, but understand the calculation of having that space now used for the entire buffet including deserts. Not being in the main dining room makes it harder to hear the piano player from the bar since the other rooms become a thorough fair for guests to reach the main dining room for the buffet and makes it rather noisy. Perhaps the piano music could be piped in with some wireless speakers next year.

    We went for restaurant week and everything was great. The duck empanadas were delicious and huge. The filet mignon was tender and perfectly cooked. Loved the bread and butter too. I could only eat a taste of the apple cobbler, but it was very good. The atmosphere here is very intimate and feels special. The tables were nicely spaced and noise level was low. The service was fabulous and everyone we met was so friendly. Loved the candlelight too. Looking forward to returning in the future.

    We had an incredible dinner tonight. The Quinoa salad was something I would go back for by itself. We had the Faroe Island salmon and roasted duck breast. Both were superb and served perfectly at our desired temperature. We had the apple cobbler for desert and it was fresh and soothing. They have a very good drink menu and superb wine list by glass or bottle. We love the MP and think of it as a special restaurant similar to fine restaurants from another era when food and service were the priority! Going for Thanksgiving again, been there last few years, our family is very happy!

    Three of us had dishes with poached eggs. Two were perfect but the third was severely overcooked, not runny at all. No one came back to check and even though the eggs were uneaten they didn’t ask about them when they came to clear our plates. The inconsistency is very disappointing given the high prices.

    The Molly is a beautiful setting, and impeccable service Nelson is a true gentleman and an outstanding employee. It's a pleasure to know he is assigned to us at The Molly. The food can be more tasteful especially the chicken dish.It's on the menu as roasted lemon chicken,but it's more like a stew. It would be better served as roasted chicken on a plate with the sides surrounding it. More herbs and salt woukd be better also when preparing and cooking. Also,maybe another non red meat or fish choice woukd be great!!The ambience is perfect and the employees are professional and pleasant...Thank you FR
