Coleman Brook Tavern

A 'refreshing' take on a tried (tired) and true aquatic experience. A tasteful yet unassuming glass of 33° delight. Nine cubes is a daring take on ice, but definitely hit the mark.

It’s about two stars for value, but if you know what you’re in for it’s free or even four stars. The ribeye steak was good and actually cooked medium-rare, as ordered. The French onion soup was good, as was the salad. Everything is about 25 percent more than I’d expect based on other restaurants. The service is very friendly and we never ran out of water, but we were tucked away around a corner and they seemed to forget about us when we wanted the check and we had to get search them out. I’m told the wine was good, a red that obviously didn’t need to be chilled, unlike a previous reviewer’s chardonnay. The armchair seating is comfy but sort of hard to eat and also to talk, as you’re a couple of feet away from the table. The bathrooms are outside the restaurant in the hotel lobby, which is a little weird. A lot of people come with little kids and they’re very good at handling that. There are also patrons who speak a lot of different languages, and they seem to have no difficulty. I’m short, slowish service, adequate food, overpriced. But they’re open on holidays, so they might be among very few choices.
