45th Street Taphouse

Well, at least the beer was cold... Food is horrible here!

Sat for 15 mins. no service and the place was probably about 1/4 full. There were 3-4 servers and two hostesses and not one said "have you been helped?" After a newly sat table got helped first we got up and left. No one noticed that either! Too many restaurants to waste time with one with bad service.

We ended up going here instead of the adjacent 45th Street Taphouse bar and grill (different menus) because I ran into the manager standing out front and I was able to get first round of drinks for free.  Was REALLY nice of the manager!

When we walk in, 1:30pm on a Saturday middle of Summer the place is empty.  This worried me right away but I shrugged it off as Saturday turnover day for people who rent by the week.

I got a crab sandwich which was good.  Huge crab cake.

Another person got a hot dog, big beef frank.  Below average.

Another got the spicey BBQ wing and liked them a lot.

Another got steamed shrimp and cream of crab soup.  The cream of crab soup was real bad. SALTY.  They bring another, second one is barely warm and almost as bad.  Like it came from a freezer.

The shrimp were really hard to peel and almost had a non-fresh look to them but they were enjoyed.

I also got the rosemary Parmesan old bay fries and really enjoyed them.

The beer selection was real good and enjoyed that.  Service was good, but hard not to be when empty.  

So it's a mixed review.  Some good things some not so good.  Perfect location/view though and if you go safe (wings bar type food) its hard to go wrong.
