    This was our second time in a week. The food is outstanding, as the service--very friendly, quiet, helpful, knowledgeable. The ambience is lovely. They have retained the decor of Birch and Barley, which is great. The lighting is lovely, warm and low, but bright enough to read. All in all, a great experience. Neighborhood favorite.

    Ted's is always a great choice. The food is good and the ambiance is informal and welcoming. The staff is exceptional. We sat for a very long time after we finished eating and they were incredibly warm and totally supportive of our sitting and visiting with our friends. It was like being in our living room. We whole heartedly recommend Ted's Bulletin!!!
