Learned about via OpenTable + ScoutMob.
The service wasn't anything that special or friendly, but we definitely enjoyed our food.
-- Cedar Plank Salmon; with fresh asparagus, ginger infused spinach, sesame sticky rice cake, Forikake mushrooms, and a ginger mango cream sauce ($21)
-- Sam's 10" Garden Pizza; with tomato, spinach, mozzarella, red onions, garlic, cremin & shiitake mushrooms ($13)
-- Praline Ice Cream Coupe; with layers of butterscotch praline and vanilla bean ice cream sandwiched between a pecan granola cookie crust. THIS WAS THE REAL WINNER. VERY DELICIOUS.
Including a 20% tip and the $12 discount via ScoutMob, the total came to $38. A bit pricey, but that probably has to do with the fact that they're rent is high (being in Old Town).
PS. I agree with other reviews. This place is not "romantic" as advertised.
We were pretty disappointed with this place. After living in old town for a couple of years we had always wondered about it, and we're definitely not going back. It's way overpriced and there is little to no ambience, except for some baskets hanging from the ceiling in the room we were seated in. My husband had the tortellini chardonnay which he said tasted warmed over, but my pizza, Bilbo's pizza, wasn't bad at all. The baked brie was ok, and the garden salad was fine. It's just such a shame because with the Hobbit/Shire theme this place could do so much more!
Review Source:Huge disappointment. It gets 2 stars only because of its great beer selection and raisin bread. Our meals were not good. The spinach salad was tasteless, the croutons were soggy and the half boiled egg on top looked like it had been sitting out for 2 days. The salmon was completely overcooked and was a very small portion. Not worth the $21. Won't be coming back for food, which is a shame since this was a pretty good restaurant when we first started coming back in the late 80s. Sad to see it go so far downhill.
