I've heard nothing but rave reviews about this place, so my boyfriend and I tried it out a couple of weeks ago. Sadly, we were extremely disappointed. The bread was stale, the homemade onion dip had huge chunks of cream cheese in it not blended into the rest of the dip (otherwise it tasted decent), the homemade croutons were so hard that they were inedible unless you wanted to break off a tooth, and our main courses had absolutely no seasoning on them whatsoever. I had broiled haddock with a side of broccolini and neither one had a stitch of salt or pepper on them. My boyfriend had porkchops and mashed potatoes and, once again, no salt or pepper on either.
HOWEVER, I will say the homemade seafood chowder was absolutely phenomenal, a real 10 out of 10 rating. That is the only thing that would bring me back to this place to eat as I could've eaten a whole vat of it.
The staff were extremely nice and attentive and the atmosphere was lovely, but the food just didn't deliver. I have to wonder if the same chef who made the chowder makes the rest of the food because I can't see how someone who makes something so delicious can make other things that are so horribly bland.
Really bummed out because Camden needs a nice sit-down restaurant. read more
