The restaurant has been closed for months… phone message says they will reopen in March… well that was three months ago… so I guess they’re history… too bad… just a matter of time before still another new owner takes a chance on the same location… stay tuned.

I really love the history of this place. I hate to give the shutters a 3 star rating. I have been told by locals that the shutters has been around for a long time. On the inside of the shutters a lot of the originality still stands. Original couch and shutters(blue) as well as the old heating radiators and windows are still in place. I have to say one of my fav things about this place was the music they played big band, jazz and swing even some Sinatra, Louie Armstrong I feel the nostalgia of that era is disappearing. Our drinks came quickly. Our appetizers came quick also. The people close to us had complained because the waitress forgot to place 1 of the orders. It took close to an hour to get our food. We ordered nothing special as our main entrees. I got a burger and the other person I was with got pasta. The food was excellent. That’s why I feel bad giving a 3 star rating. As we were waiting fir our check. A couple on a date night sent there food back. I felt bad for them I felt it ruined there mood. The food in this place is great. But it wasn’t like there was a packed house the night the night I went. There was maybe 7 – 8 tables full. The food was great but I don’t know if it was worth the 1hr after appetizer wait. I wouldn’t go out of my way to go back to the shutters unless friends suggested it. It’s nice ambiance with the candle and music. But the wait killed it for me. PROS –excellent food –great local historic site –music and ambiance CONS –slow service –expensive food

Awful. I went there with my family for Mother’s Day and it was a major disappointment. First off, we had a reservation & had to wait for over 10 minutes because they weren’t set up. The food was dreadful; I got the fettucini, which came were charcoal burned shrimp on top, noodles that were completely overcooked and swimming in a watery sauce for $ 27. I ate about ¼ of it until I was just plain disgusted. My sister ordered the same dish, exactly the same mess of a bowl came out. My grandmother got the $ 35 lamb that came out black and she couldn’t cut through. We also waited close to an hour for the food to come out, which is pathetic. Don’t host big events if you don’t have a big enough kitchen for it. The waitresses were also not very attentive– never came back to refill water. We will not be going back, ever. A major disappointment for Mother’s Day.

Let me be clear I am giving two stars not for food, which was delicious, the rating is for the incredibly SLOOOOOOW service. Dear chef, please get your kitchen act together! We waited well over an hour for our appetizer, which was simple soup, salad, and stuffed mushrooms. All was tasty, and the garlic/honey butter that was served with the bread was to die for… BUT it’s not enough to make up for interminable waiting on food. We had a party of six next to us walk out without paying, and although completely unfair to the waitstaff, we understood their frustration. Dinner was served about 40 mins later, and was delicious, but again, late, and tired at this point, we packed up most of our food, paid the bill, and went home. We looked at eachother and said well… I will give them another chance, perhaps during the summer when hopefully they have figure out their timing issues. I was excited to have a great new restaurant close bye, but now, not so much…
