This place is all about the atmosphere. It's amazing inside. The food was good, but very expensive. I chose the salmon with gnocchi and oh my - I will be back for that again! And it was only $10 (left side!). The rest of the menu however was ridiculous. My husbands plate alone was $27 and he said it was awful.
The bartender at the time was awesome. We talked to him for hours and he was just a great bartender. The staff in General were really nice.
So for me, points for the salmon, bartender and atmosphere. Budget wise, chances are I won't be enjoying it again any time soon. :(
Stopped in here for lunch last weekend and thought it was great. Excellent set-up and design (it's an abandoned powerhouse and doesn't try to hide it) with lots of neat historical facts on the walls and tables. Food was good. I got the crab cake sandwich on whole grain ciabatta, with an apple and Gorgonzola salad to start. Both were quite good. The sandwich wasn't exactly huge, and was fairly simple, but still delicious. Served with "natural cut" french fries, which are a particular favorite of mine. The salad was excellent: well balanced and tasty. I understand the lunch menu is much different than the dinner menu, but I can't comment on dinner.
There's no beer on tap, but they have a good selection of bottles. Maybe this bothers some people. I love tap beer too, but I'm certainly not too good for an old fashioned bottle. If you are, well, then I think the problem is with you, not the restaurant.
I don't make it to this area all that often, but I would absolutely stop in again.
