This is a fantastic, but quirky restaurant that you need to know a few things about. First it is cash only and it is not cheap. So, make sure you tap MAC for about $150 if you are a couple want to eat the recommended four course meal. We had two courses each, a vegetable and entree, and it ran us about one ninety six dollars with tip. Second, it is bring your own bottle establishment. So, do not forget to bring your bottle of wine. Everyone else did when we were there. We felt like out-of-the-know neophytes. Third, it is small and popular. So if you have a big party, make reservations. Finally, there is a leisurely relaxing pace to this restaurant so slot two and a half to three and a half hours for dinner.
The food is probably the best in about about a forty mile radius. The cuisine defines delicious. The serving size is satisfying, but not large and stuffing that some restaurants give. The ingredients are fresh and tasty. The flavors from my greens and beans were well balanced but distinctive. The cooking is done to the point of perfection. The meat just fell off my ribs. However, it was not soggy and tasteless Nothing was undercooked. The herbs were added so they accented the flavor of the main ingredients and made there flavor better. When you leave you will understand why this dining room has a hard core loyal following and and generates a buzz from the locals that have eaten there.
There is more to rave about than the food. You will probably like the staff like we did. They are cheerful, nice and enthusiastic. You can tell by the way they treat you they enjoy what they do. There is not some standing by like at five star restaurants but they are very attentive and accommodating. For example, I wanted a piece of bread to soak up the gravy from my ribs and they were glad to get it for me.
The atmosphere is quaint and interesting. The staff and clientele are dressed casually. It may be a little cluttered. However, you can tell there focus is on the food and the service. It is intentional and it is meant to be a foodie heaven rather than an elitist five star restaurant.
This is a restaurant you must go to to. It is a one of the reasons why people are starting to think there is a chance that Pottstown may be having a rebirth. read more
