Ordered Hanger Steak (GF)because of the reviews and it was great. Tender and cooked exactly as ordered, Turkey Pot Pie was a family hit with nice crust. Will visit restaurant next time!

The Braised Short Rib (GF) was amazing. It looked and tasted exactly like the one from Hell's Kitchen, but at a fraction of the price. The Famous North End Parmesan Chicken was ok. The flavor of the sauce wasn't my favorite but the size was enough for two.

We didn't receive the pizza that we ordered. The Sesame Seared Ahi Tuna Salad was not fresh. I'm not sure if those issues are related to the driver or the restaurant. I thought it was a super nice touch that they included the cedar plank with the plating of the Cedar Plank Salmon (GF). The salmon was decent. However, they only give you a third of a potato-it's not a full baked potato. Furthermore, the asparagus was way beyond overcooked. It was yellow rather than green. All in all, I wouldn't order from here again.

I'll begin with the positive. I was excited for a north-eastern clam chowder and besides having a "bowl " delivered in two very small dressing containers it was just ok. Some of the clams were very hard and chewy and there were bites of sand but the base was flavorful. The chicken fingers were extremely overcooked, dry and double breading v jerky dry chicken. The mashed potatoes tasted like they were made from a box, salty and there was there was less than a tablespoon of gravy which actually seemed promising. The Rueben was was all fat, super wet with fat and had a tiny amount of sauerkraut that was drenched in fat so it lacked any crunch or texture. It was literally just a few wilted pieces of cabbage. The carrot cake had a nice presentation but lacked and depth of flavor. The rich flavor of cream cheese had been whipped out and tasted more like a grocery store white frosting.
In all I compare it to badly over-cooked, cold, banquet food.
Certainly not cold due to delivery as the driver waited on the order and arrived in record time.

You guys are always great. You must have a new person on the grill. The burger was way over cooked no pink at all. Also no seasoning so it was dry and bland.This is the first time you have ever just missed onthis one
