    Other than a bland-tasting stuffed flounder, food was delicious, the atmosphere was comfortable, & the prices were reasonable, especially for Old Town

    Food was 3.5. I ordered the lamp chops which were cooked medium and seasoned well. My fiancé got the Vaso’s Shrimp which was good. There seem to be a vent above our table that looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in a while. However, after each customer dined, the table cloths were changed. Overall rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
