People should be aware that this place is not what it used to be. We have visited many times when the previous manager/staff/chef were there. We had not been in several months and went in this weekend. The staff member we got as our server was not knowledgeable about the menu and did not know what was unavailable. They took over 50 minutes to serve our cold appetizer. We were told that the 4 tables who came after us had tickets ahead of ours. Staff argued when we asked why that was the case when we had been seated first and had a reservation. We ended up leaving and went to pay for the food/appetizer that we received. They did not offer any compensation for our experience. The outside space is lovely and we will miss it. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3

Pure history on the Square! I had the opportunity to see the bedroom where James Buchanan grew up. Although he's not on the list of greatest US Presidents, he was a president! The food was delicious and our server, Hanna, was a kind and attentive as could be! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
