Old Man Rafferty's

I was definitely pleasantly surprised.  The 7 of us came here for dinner on a Monday evening around 7pm and there was no wait.  I got the portion control size  Chicken Elizabeth with Italian Wedding soup for the side.  The Italian wedding soup I swear was canned Campbell's Italian Wedding soup (I've eaten enough Campbell's in college to recognize the meatball, the round little balls of pasta and the off green spinach in the soup...it's canned and reheated.  don't get me wrong, i love campbell's, but i expected a "homemade" version."  i digress.  the bread basket was a forgetable mess of stale sliced italian bread that has been warmed up.  the entree was oddly...delicious!  it was like chicken cordon blue w/o the bread crumbs.  a slice of chicken breast with ham and a slice of melted cheese on top of brocollini (huge yay!), a little dab of mashed potato (eh, i could do w/o), some tomato and mushroom ragout and a potato croquette?  not bad...a huge entree for what is the portion control entree..i don't want to know what the regular size entree is.  party of 7 and didn't even add the 18% gratuity on top of the bill!  Doesn't matter, the waiter was worth the min 20.  I was too full to try the dessert, but i will stop by on Wednesday when I'm heading back home from the conference.  not too shabby.  but shame on the soup and bread!

The food is alright but grossly overpriced.  This place is basically a diner but charges 3 times as much.  There are much better restaurants in town.

It's very much like a diner in the sense that he menu is huge, but the food is more tastefully prepared. The key here, is the desserts, they're offered first on the menu for a reason. There really isn't a bad dish on the menu.
