I'm sure my employers would love that. I've also been meaning to try Shopsin's, another place you have to hit mid-day. Sometime. Ed - I'm never letting Roquefort touch a burger again, even if I have to slap it out of the chef's hand. It's just Wrong. Demian – A nice long cask ale weekday lunch sounds awesome.

I'm with you on the burger. That Rouquefort was a little much. I'd think a bleu cheese might be better.

Cold tables are always a drag. I know first-hand because my wifes' entire evening will be ruined with even just a hint of chilly draft (don't get her started about her birthday dinner last year...!) And you are correct in that the Spotted Pig experience can be strained to near-breaking when it is a full weekend evening. The first-floor bar area is just brutally small. But Ken, April, Randy et all are a good bunch and they do mean well. I would say give it another try. The best time to go is probably at lunch on a week day. The prices might not be any cheaper but the crowd will be thin, (sat next to SNL peeps last time I was there) the service less stressed and the food pretty darn good. Try the calves liver! And there's nothing like a cask ale to make a lunch hour turn into two :) Thanks for the review! Sorry to hear about your bummer of an experience. Cold tables are always a drag.
