We had somewhat less luck. We went as a group of 8 at lunchtime on a
weekday.
The restaurant was fairly crowded. We didn't get many opportunities to
order
extra drinks.

The Oxford Amber ("Eleanor Amber") was tasty, but flat as a flounder.

The Dominion Amber had a pronounced "woody" taste to it; not entirely
unlike
licking a waxed floor.

The jumbalaya (sp?) was entirely too spicy to be eaten. This judgement was
made by someone who knows from hot, and loves food too hot for me to eat!

The softshell crab sandwich ws okay, but way pricey for the amount of food
received.

They still weren't selling their own beer. Apparently, they could produce
beer,
and sell beer, but not sell the beer in the same place they produce it!

In short, it ain't hopeless, but I'm not exactly in love with the place,
either.
I'll give it a little time to settle down and try again.
