We tried the Southern Tier Pumking ($6) currently on tap over the two pumpkin beers available by the bottle based on her recommendation for a lighter, spicy brew. A glass of Flying Dog Pale Ale ($5) was also a good choice.
Old-style black chalkboards framed in wood were hung throughout the room with interesting quotations written on them. Honey wood tables and black leather-covered chairs complement the dark wood molding and dark cream walls. Moderate lighting adds to the modern, unpretentious look of the pub.
We saw the specials board touting their seafood gumbo and asked for a cup. Unfortunately, it was available only as an entrée.
We decided to try some old favorites instead. A chicken quesadilla ($8.99) was a crispy tortilla filled with melted cheddar and jack cheeses and chunks of chicken. Small containers of salsa from a jar and sour cream were placed by the chopped fresh tomatoes, black olives and jalapeno peppers, also from a jar, on the brightly-colored Fiestaware plate.
A plate of buffalo wings ($8.49) had twelve small, crispy wings on a foil-lined plate and sauce on the side. The non-battered wings had sufficient flavor without a dip in the “nuclear” hot sauce. The wings weren’t dripping with sauce, so we didn’t mind the paper napkins and paper placemats used at each place setting.
We were more impressed with our main course, which arrived as we were finishing the last of the appetizers that we cared to eat.
The club sandwich ($8.99) was served on our choice of white toast with turkey. Thick slices of real, unprocessed white meat, iceberg lettuce, tomato and a small strip of bacon made this a quality rendition of the classic club. We both would have liked another strip of bacon on the sandwich, to balance the generous slices of turkey.
We chose lightly battered, but decent fries over onion rings as part of the platter.
A marinated steak salad ($10.99) was a light but substantial entrée. Strips of tender, cooked-to-order, marinated filet were placed atop sliced portobello mushrooms, tomatoes, roasted red peppers and fresh mozzarella chunks on spring mix.
The greens were dressed lightly with a mild vinaigrette, but a side of garlicky dressing was also on the plate.
We asked to take home the small pieces of all but the steak salad, which we finished, and our server brought a Styrofoam container to the table.
We asked if any of the desserts were made on the premises, and she gave us an honest response that they were all purchased.
With a family-friendly setting and menu, including “Kids Stuff,” we can see why several tables of patrons were greeted as regulars.
The beer selection is impressive, and the menu includes serious seafood, steak, veal and pasta entrées in addition to a range of sandwiches and hearty salads.
Quotations has good service and wide variety of seasonal beer as well as a solid menu offering many options, so it gets an overall rating of 3 1/2 forks (out of 5). The Dining Duo base their reviews on unannounced anonymous visits.
