Polished marble rest atop the overstretched bar which boasts eighteen draft beers and the state’s first ever “tapped wine” system. A seemingly humble menu is carefully considered with homemade pastas, coal-fired pizzas, and daily “features” that will bring a smile to the most discerning grandmother’s face.**A NOTE FROM THE RESTAURANT**Reservations are not required.

The Sunday Brunch is very good at The Rail. The selections are plentiful and very tasty. The French Toast casserole is always wonderful. We did miss the melodious sounds of the pianist which added a certain sense of elegance.
