点评:Our friend wanted us to sing "backup" for her at an open mic performance (a live "house band" accompanies performers every Tuesday night here - for free!), so I made my first visit to this restaurant.
We arrived early so that we could eat dinner, and I'm happy to say that the food was just as good as it was at their old restaurant "Paula's Pub" that had been located on Route 376.
My husband adores their pastrami sandwich, and I treated myself to the risotto - wonderful! Save room for desserts: we tried the cheesecake, the cannoli cake, and the flourless chocolate cake, all very good. (I recommend ordering a glass of milk with the chocolate cake - it's REALLY dense and chocolately, which is great). Our waiter was friendly and attentive.
After dinner we went out into the lobby where the band was located (this is convenient because if you're still finishing dinner in the dining room when the band is performing, you're able to hear the music, but can also have a conversation without shouting - refreshing for a venue with live music).
The band was excellent, and knew every song that the various singers wanted to do. The singers were of various skill levels (normal for an "open mic" situation), but I must say that the audience was very supportive no matter what. With an audience like that, I might even take a chance at doing my own solo there one of these Tuesday nights!
Various local bands perform there every Saturday night. (I'm not sure about the rest of the week.) The lobby is a large space, so there is plenty of room to dance, too.
All in all a good experience!
翻译:我们的朋友希望我们在开放麦克风表演中为她唱“伴奏”(每周二晚上都有现场“室内乐队”为表演者伴奏——免费!),所以我第一次来这家餐厅。
我们很早就到了,这样我们就可以吃晚饭了,我很高兴地说,食物和他们位于 376 号公路上的老餐馆“Paula's Pub”一样好。
我丈夫很喜欢他们的熏牛肉三明治,我则犒赏自己吃了意大利调味饭——太棒了!留点空间给甜点:我们尝试了芝士蛋糕、奶油甜馅煎饼卷蛋糕和无面粉巧克力蛋糕,都非常好。 (我建议点一杯牛奶和巧克力蛋糕 - 它真的很浓,巧克力味十足,太棒了)。我们的服务员很友好而且细心。
晚餐后我们去了乐队所在的大厅(这很方便,因为如果乐队表演时你还在餐厅吃完晚饭,你就可以听到音乐,还可以交谈无需大喊大叫 - 对于有现场音乐的场地来说令人耳目一新)。
乐队很棒,知道各个歌手想要唱的每一首歌。歌手们的技术水平各不相同(对于“开放麦克风”的情况来说很正常),但我必须说,无论如何,观众都非常支持。面对这样的观众,我什至可能会在周二晚上有机会在那里进行自己的独奏!
每周六晚上,各种当地乐队都会在那里表演。 (我不确定本周剩下的时间。)大厅空间很大,所以也有足够的空间可以跳舞。
总而言之,这是一次很好的体验!
