We've been going to the Green on and off for the past year, and thought it was time to post a review. This is definitely not a "restaurant" in the classic sense, although they do have a full menu. It is most definitely a pub, so if you're looking for a meal out with children, look elsewhere. Not that they won't be served their chicken fingers, just that this place is primarily set up for beer and drinks with food on the side.
As such, I can't give it five stars, and my most recent experience garners it 3-stars. We went in with friends the other evening for beers and bites, and I ordered a pitcher for me and my friends, a martini for my wife, large shareable fries, and jalapeno poppers. Our server was friendly and prompt to our table with the menus, but it started downhill after that.
The first problem was that she brought the pitcher of beer to the table first, even though I could see she had already made the wife's martini. I might be old-fashioned just a bit, but please serve the lady first.
Ten minutes later a really grumpy dude came out of the kitchen to tell us that jalapeno poppers were permanently off the menu. "Really?" I asked, "Because I am looking at the menu that is right in front of you and there they are!" Now, granted, I was being a bit of a smarta$$ with that, but his attitude preceded him by about ten feet. His reply was that he didn't know why management took it off the menu and it wasn't his decision. So many things wrong with that, but I guess my biggest complaint here is that our server didn't come and deal with the situation, someone from the kitchen came out and kind of threw a negative experience in our faces. And to management, if you're going to take something off the menu, take it off the menu. I know printing menus costs money, but a sharpie costs a couple of bucks in the meantime.
Having said all this, it's not like I won't be back. This is a comfortable place to meet friends in the evening for a couple of beers, a snack, and a warm place to chat. We'll see if you can get that fourth star back on my next visit.
Cheers!
