    My wife & I both got the Filet Mignon special with crab meat. We ordered the Filet Mignon cooked at a medium and they both came out well done completely white inside, they had no flavor it was like a dry roast beef. The crab meat that was on top was cold and the vegetable side was not soft, very crunchy. It was our anniversary and the restaurant was recommended by a friend. After our visit I would not recommend it and at the prices being charged I would not chance a second trip.

    The food was excellent, especially the pork chop. It was prepared exactly as I requested. It was somewhat quiet for a Saturday evening so they didn’t seem to mind we extended our stay to visit with out-of-town friends. A great meeting place. Wine and dessert selections were great. Best part was our server- Audrey- who was friendly, knowledgeable, and provided the most pleasant service. We’ll be back.

    We love What If. The menu is great. I like that you can get smaller plates of pasta along with the regular serving. Our waiter, Dom, was attentive and very helpful. It is our go to place for special occasions and out of town guests. We have never been disappointed.

    I’ve been to What If many times and love it but this was the worst experience I have had there and among the top three worst experiences in a restaurant ever. Our waitress was rude and inattentive, the diet cokes were flat, it took three hours start to finish, and just was completely poor overall. So disappointed and we will not be back for awhile if ever. Take your money to nicer, more reliable places!

    Menu was ok. Thought it was higher priced than it should have been. Too many item on the menu that are “market price”.

    It's easy to miss this restaurant in the lower level of the Howard Johnson's but it's been there for a long time. The menu is excellent and food well prepared. Full bar and specialty drinks. Excellent service. It's not huge and crowded like many of the local bigger names. Well worth it.

    Don’t let the fact that it appears to be part of a Howard Johnson mislead you, this is a great restaurant... give it a try. Look at the variety on the menus... and the deserts: either save room or take something home with you... they’re amazing.
