Mrs. Guido Says: ***1/2
Food: Bleu cheese salad, farfalle in pink cream sauce with fresh mozzarella and chicken pieces, apple pecan dessert. After traipsing through half of the residential quarter of port jeff, we finally found the well hidden printer's devil. The atmosphere was relaxed and had a nice pub like charm to it, without being too dark and dingy. Was given a tiny table near the back, which had a rocking problem, and had to be resourceful to fix it. The waitress seemed to leave us to our own devices for a considerable amount of time before taking our order, bringing out the salads, etc. bleu cheese salad was standard, although the dressing was the sort of bleu cheese that tasted more like ranch with only the tiniest pieces of cheese. The farfalle was a huge portion, and the sauce had an almost ala vodka like taste to it. The mozzarella was rather bland though, as was the chicken pieces. While was just ok at the restaurant, tasted much better the second day. The dessert that came with it, an apple pecan compote, was slightly mushy, but had a nice caramel nutty taste to it. Probably would not have ordered this particular dessert given the choice, but am not about to turn down free dessert. As said before, service was slightly disengaged, and we were seated away from most of the activity, but still overall a good casual dining experience, perfect for when you want a menu with some variety in a good locale
Mr. Guido Says: ***
Food: Garden Burger (Lenten Meal) and fries. Restaurant is (was) in Port Jefferson, though a bit hidden from the main town (we got lost trying to find it, and ended up walking through the residential areas-Mrs. Guido was none too pleased) and therefore doesn't have all the charm of most Port Jefferson restaurants. Garden burger was run of the mill, though can't really fault them on this as a garden burger is a garden burger. Atmosphere is cozy, basically you're standard pub type atmosphere.
