Our waiter, Jack was attentive, pleasant and courteous. Two of us order the strip steak and it was a bit tough. For the price, I didn’t expect to have to cut around two nerves running through the meat.

The main dining room is just a treasure for those of us who remember it as a place where we did our post office business. Great restoration! The back office transformed into a great bar and lounge - terrific. Great jazz trio music there on occasion. Food is very good. Liked the duck. The downstairs bar is good, but not what the old Triumph brew pub was. Go!
