We were there for their annual free meal to celebrate Veteran’s Day (free meal for me, pay meal for wife). Our waitress and all the waitstaff were very attentive, and the food was really excellent.
Wonderfully crisp flounder and garlicky orzo for me, salmon and rigatoni in pesto for her and bread pudding for dessert.
Both entrees were absolutely what you’d expect from M & S, delicious, perfectly prepared and presented.
The bread pudding dessert probably isn’t what they’re noted for, and I’m afraid deservedly so. Taste was good, healthy slice, but it was all bread, soaked in an egg batter. Bread pudding when well-prepared has a layer of custard below the bread, which floats on top. Regrettably, no layer of custard, which makes it a different dessert entirely.
But all else was wonderful (Vets: remember when you’re comped to a meal, tip for the whole meal as if you were charged—that is, for a meal that would have cost $40, tip for the $40 value, not just the part you paid for. The waiter has to do the same amount of work). Very grateful to M&S for their kind recognition of our service.
