The Old Pro is especially great for watching NFL games on Sundays as they do a good job of spacing the games around on the different HD televisions, and posting which games will be on each screen.
Pros: food, beer, tvs, crowd

The Olive garden is a great franchise italian restaurant that offers high class dining. It is a bit overrated, but it's still very good. Be sure to go early, because there is usually a long line. They serve a wide variety of tasty pastas, ravioli, and lasagna. Chicken and beef is also offered, and there is a huge wine menu. The menus are helpful because the restaurant matches what wines fit best with certain meals. Try: Tour of Italy, one of their pizzas, seafood alfredo, one of their great desserts.

Ambience! The Empire Tap Room is set up wonderfully! The outside dining area is a cozy patio, while the inside has a long bar and large booths. Thus, you can dine in a romantic or relaxed atmosphere.
The service is excellent. Very friendly.
The food is the only negative at Empire. It is not bad, just rather pedestrian. The menu is fairly broad, but unspectacular. I had the herb chicken, which was a little dry but otherwise okay. The selection of wines and beers on tap is pretty ho-hum. Overall, it is an average to above-average destination.
Pros: Ambience, friendly, well-decorated
Cons: average food, unimaginitive

I stopped by looking for a place to watch a game and get a bite to eat and was very surprised by my experience here. They had many tap beer options to choose from and the food, by far, exceeded my expectations. I tried the calamari and the ribs and was very impressed the with quality, quantity and price of my dinner. With several flat panels posted throughout the bar, I was able to see 3 or 4 screens from my seat. This is a great place if you are visiting in the wharf area.
Pros: Great bar food and tap beers
