点评:On the 20th of January, a biter, blustery, every-shade-of-gray day, we ventured to Belfast, Maine. Even the white caps in the bay were frowning. When we stepped in out of the wind, we entered the largest walk-in cooler, aka the Atrium, I have experienced.
Immediately, we were greeted with a warm welcome, and a smiling, "You may want to be near the heat, but anywhere is fine." As we sat next to the rail, at water's edge, we realized that we could see our breath. Despite the boiler-looking heater and the patio toasters going full tilt, it was a tad chilly.
However, that didn't take the warmth of jovial conversation, the happy dogs and children away. It may have added to it. The sunny disposition of the two on staff certainly did!
Despite having just days before having the restaurant under 3 ft of water, they bravely decided to move serving to what is normally only used in the summer. The servers acted as if it were still summertime, and the patrons definitely caught on.
We only had time for a beer, but we enjoyed two very fine ones! I relived the taste of a true IPA in the Cant Dog. It was a well-rounded copy of the stronger pale ales, which took their name from the journey. Not a licking-a- conifer or drinking a fruit salad variety ( which I do enjoy occasionally.) My wife praised the Coughing Dog coffee porter, warm and balanced from start to finish.
To the Marshall Wharf crew, especially the warm two freezing their hops off, bravo! We will be back- with friends!
翻译:1 月 20 日,天气寒冷、狂风大作、灰蒙蒙的一天,我们冒险前往缅因州的贝尔法斯特。连海湾里的白帽子都皱起了眉头。当我们避风而行时,我们进入了我经历过的最大的步入式冷藏库,又名中庭。
我们立刻受到了热烈的欢迎,并微笑着说:“你可能想靠近炎热的地方,但任何地方都可以。”当我们坐在水边的栏杆旁时,我们意识到我们可以看到自己的呼吸。尽管加热器看起来像锅炉,露台烤面包机也全速运转,但还是有点冷。
然而,这并没有带走愉快的谈话、快乐的狗和孩子们的温暖。它可能已添加到其中。两位员工的阳光性格确实做到了!
尽管距离餐厅被淹没在 3 英尺深的水下仅几天,他们还是勇敢地决定将服务转移到通常仅在夏季使用的地方。服务员的表现就好像现在还是夏天,顾客们肯定也明白了。
我们只有时间喝啤酒,但我们喝了两杯非常好的啤酒!我在 Cant Dog 中重温了真正 IPA 的味道。这是一款口感更浓郁的淡色艾尔啤酒,其名字来源于这次旅程。不是舔针叶树,也不是喝各种水果沙拉(我偶尔会喜欢)。我的妻子称赞了咳嗽狗咖啡波特,从头到尾都温暖而平衡。
对于马歇尔码头的工作人员,尤其是温暖的两个人,他们下船时都冻僵了,太棒了!我们会和朋友一起回来的!
