Alumni Restaurant & Bar

I just had the most delicious Roast Beef Sandwich. I opted for the side of horseradish mayo and a ramekin of au jus as my accouterments. The Cottage Fries were crispy and tasty. The onion rings were thin, lightly battered and yummy. I chose a nice chilled glass of Prosecco which CarolAnn our server, promptly served. Good menu, good atmosphere.

They’re just too understaffed to keep going. There were no customers there when I came to get my takeout order. I wasn’t early. I had to wait 10 minutes while the hostess went into the back to get it and the calamari still had the tomato sauce instead of the aioli that had been requested, the peppers were unfried on the side for some reason, the 3B burger had no BBQ sauce, and it’s not the first time any of it has happened. I seriously love the food at this place but they are just currently not capable of maintaining the standard of quality the menu promises. It’s all cooked fine, but it’s like nobody back there actually knows how to put it together.

The food is pretty standard, but still done well. They have the basics with burgers and sandwiches, plus some specials which can be very good. What makes good, though, is the atmosphere. Each night they have something going on, like song bingo. Good bar where you can see people.. Lots of regulars, and the waitstaff is likely to greet you like on old friend if you become a one. Definitely a good family place. Go somewhere else for a singles scene. (But who knows? :-) )
