I thought something might be up @ E.D. I had noticed they had recently removed the menus posted at the entrances.   I have yet to try the place.. I was meh with the old menu.

I am glad they are doing a new menu.  The old one didn't really offer much as a place to go eat.  It seemed to want to be "just a bar" that also had a couple of items to eat and thus, for me at least, wasn't a place I would go as much.

Still have not eaten there, might be more incentive to now.

I always had good experiences with the food (lunch and apps at night), but the service could be on the very lean side.  I assume they spent a lot of $ on the build out and could be an example of the first guys leaving a very nice business opportunity for the second guys.

I'll take great food over an over-built atmosphere any day.

Sadly, it was never great food.  The atmosphere was good though.  It was a bar that had some things on a menu you could eat if you needed to.

Our favorite way to explain food like that:

"It'll make a turd"

Dinner at one of the fishing boat crew eateries in Boston had some really good food.  Atmosphere was oil cloth covered picnic tables, BYO wine.  It was just down the street from one of the famous eating places.  My cousin said the famous place's food was good but not as good as where we went and the prices at the fancy place were significantly higher.  It was a while ago so I don't remember the prices or the names of the two places but they were on the waterfront.  I believe I had a swordfish steak.

You know what's funny this time of year in New England Red?  Even McDonald's makes one hell of a lobster roll.

That always freaks me out when I see lobster advertised at McDonalds. I have never been brave enough to try it.

No doubt that this is a good move, the food a Juniper is excellent.

My personal opinion is that they should super simplify at Delk's and just be a bar with a cheese plate and Charcuterie and etcetera.

My personal opinion is too many restaurants make a hands-on-chef spoil.

Just making a point. The sucksess rate for foodies is less than %20....

I hate thinking Junipers might suffer from all these other diversions.

Which is one of the reasons that I think Delks should simplify. Why bring food in from another location? Just make whatever the facility you have can accomodate.
