  I think the last reviewer was a bit harsh.  This is a very small town and the restaurant/bar is old and well used, it is not a fancy resort town, they cater to the snow birds.  
  
  We were in town for Track Day Races at the speedway and stayed in a cute B&B up the road from this place.  The B&B owners recommended it, and called ahead to reserve us a seat at the window.  It was a lovely view on a stormy day.
  
  It is a bit odd how they have the place set up, you have to go thru the bar, next to the kitchen, down a hallway, and then into the back of the place for the Restaurant portion.  I think this used to be a house.
  
  They have a huge selection of various food, appetizers, burgers, breaded seafood, chicken, and of all things Prime Rib!  I think most of the food is from Sysco or something similar.
  
  I ordered the Chicken Neptune which was OK, it was a chicken breast (pre-pounded and cooked I think) covered with Hollandaise Sauce and Bay Shrimp.  It was served with a roll, corn and a baked potato.  The Baked Potato was the best part of the meal, I don't eat corn and the bread was not worth wasting my calories on.  The chicken had an odd consistency, but it tasted OK, the sauce was ok and the shrimp were good. Overall it was a decent meal, the soup, which was obviously home made was delish!
  
  Hubby got the last piece of Prime Rib and I traded a few bites, yum it was delicious.  I have had some pretty crappy Prime Rib in my life, but this quite good, perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection.  It came with the same accompaniments as my dinner, however hubby opted for the salad (which due to the chemical taste I can tell you, comes out of a bag).
  
  Overall the food was good, this is not gourmet food so don't expect it, if you put it into context of their location and the clientele they cater to, the food is perfect.

  Let's start with the positive.  The waitress was friendly and the dining room had a nice view, this is why they get two stars.  If my husband had gone into the restroom before we had ordered we never would have eaten there.  It was disgusting, distroyed and unusable.  The kitchen shouldn't have access to the diners, bad hygiene, etc. and the food was not worth the price.   An $18 crab salad where everything was precut and browning with what looked like canned crab on top and fish and chips definately from a supplier, not local.  Will never go back!
