The first thing I noticed when I entered Grandmother's Gastropub was the aroma of a papermill. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive pink and lavender decor. We were greeted and seated in the Spinning wheel Room, a fluffy room decorated with numerous corks and damp flowerpots. Our waitress, whose name was May, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were Cheerios, egg salad sandwich, tortillas, and smoked salmon. I decided to order Hamburger Helper Bolognese and my companion, Morton, ordered Roast Cornish game hen Con Arroz. May seemed somber as she brought in our orders about seven minutes later. I had a pancake on the side, and Morton had a doughnut. A gin and tonic was a perfect complement for my Hamburger Helper.
The Hamburger Helper was miniature but a bit bulky. The common way to cook with Velveeta cheese is to spoon into container first, but our chef chooses to mix nonchalantly, then blend it into the Hamburger Helper. Morton thought the roast Cornish game hen seemed a bit mechanical, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred dollars, which I think is passable. Overall, the food was outstanding, the atmosphere was ducky, and the service was staggering. If you are a crafty person, this might be the worst place for you.
