The Livery Restaurant & Saloon

:Yet another restaurant in the John Mogensen & Lisa Aspenson pantheon (Mona Lisa, Mogis, Stella Blues The Red Room).  Great downtown building with a game room, outdoor area with huge fire pit, decent size bar and a lot of seating to eat.

Good news - great food, big portions.  This is real food, made on site, all the way down to the tarter sauce for the fish fry.   Far better detail to food than you will find at a comparable price anywhere else.  Food is also consistently good,  Beer selection is not extensive, but they rotate in a lot of different beers which makes up for it.  Bloody Mary's however are a little weak - they come with a complete meal (sausage stick, celery, pickle, asparagus, more), but they are not that flavorful.  I would rather have a better drink, less food.

Only downside is the noise - as in very high noise levels.  If your ok with that (it is a bar, after all) than there are no downsides.

Great menu. Awesome salmon penne. I'll be back.

Good food and ambiance, decent beer selection, but oh god does their music suck.  Extremely yuppie.  Expect giant portions.  We've been several times and the service has always been fine.
