★ 5Perfect girls’ night at MenotomynnMet my two girlfriends for a much‑needed night out, and Menotomy absolutely delivered. Our server, Ahmet was amazing. We shared the buffalo chicken dip to start — so good — and our steak tip salads were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The sangrias were delicious and paired perfectly with everything. We ended the night with the raspberry chocolate cake, which was the perfect sweet finish.
Great food, great vibes, and a great place to catch up. We’ll definitely be back. -

★ 3We had high hopes for dinner here since we were staying next door. We chose to dine outside since it was a bit loud inside. I think if they dialed back the bad hipster music it would help a lot.
My wife took the herb roasted chicken and it was the codfish cakes for me. Her chicken was beyond overcooked. The skin was inedible, the meat was dry. The green beans were undercooked. The codfish cakes were good as was the slaw. I did not care for the beans and the tartar sauce tasted like something that came in a 5 gallon bucket.
When I told our server about the chicken she seemed indifferent and changed the subject. -

★ 5This was fun, I don’t know why I haven’t come here before. Lots of good classic American food with some cool modern twist dishes. Cocktails and beer and wine selections was good. Staff was friendly if. It a little overcommitted. Atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable.
Had a delicious seafood classic soup dish, you’d a few deep friend pickles and nachos.
A good time had by all. Will add it to the going out rotation. -

★ 2Went to Menotomy today (4/19) around 1 PM. We were seated in the back near the kitchen and greeted by a male server who asked how many were in our party. We told him there were four of us and that the last person was on the way.
Once our fourth guest arrived 5 minutes after we sat down, a different server (female) took over. We ordered drinks and two appetizers, fries and sweet plantain waffles. Unfortunately, the drinks took about 20 minutes to arrive, and the appetizers came about 30 minutes after that. We left the restaurant at 2:30PM with just one round of drinks and two appetizers on our tab.
The drinks were underwhelming, and the service was slow overall. There was also confusion with one drink order, someone in our group ordered the brunch cocktail “Kiss by a Rose/Josie” (rosé, gin, grapefruit juice) and simply requested it be made with Hendrick’s gin. Since the menu didn’t specify the gin used, this seemed straightforward, but the server had to ask three separate times to confirm.
When our food was delivered by an older gentleman, he didn’t acknowledge us at all, no greeting or explanation, just placed the dishes down while looking elsewhere.
Overall, not a great experience. The only highlight was the waffles. This was our first and last visit, and I wouldn’t recommend it. -

★ 2Nice and spacious atmosphere, not too packed or loud on a weekday. Guy at the door and our server were really nice. There’s a parking lot but it was full, parked on the street. Good overall lacks flavor.
Fish and chips delicious. Coleslaw is “ok” couldn’t taste vinegar or sugar, any flavor really. Mac and cheese, also leaning towards too neutral flavor. I couldn’t tell what cheese(s) it was. Steak tips doused in chimi sauce, enough to detract from it imo. Hummus was good, served with carrots and Mediterranean olives and extra thick crispy chips. Hummus was closer to 3x as thick as tomato paste, so hard to dip/stick to the veg.
So overall not worth it unless you’re coming for the beers, bar. I won’t be back.
Idc about places that give large food potions, used to it in todays age. but they’re preposterous here. Not a #win with just ok food.
