A recent outing to Borough left a sour taste in our mouths. Despite the cozy atmosphere---woodsy surroundings and low-lighting are prevalent here--and pool table in the back, food was unacceptably bad for the price. Entrees took too long to arrive after appetizers and weren?t worth the wait. The salmon dish was good, if a little bland. An overdone cheeseburger ($16) was served with an ample serving of good crispy french fries. But two steaks we ordered ($26 each) were just bad. Served in a skillet with fries and a slab of herbed butter on top, they were hard to eat and more grizzle than meat. We kept one and sent the other one back to the kitchen. Our waiter returned with another steak--less fatty but equally devoid of flavor and as rubbery as the last one--about 10 minutes after the rest of the table had finished eating. A table visit by the manager left us taken aback by his smug attitude and nonchalance. We had tried three steaks at this point, and all of them were bad. That?s not a fluke--it?s really more indicative that something?s wrong in the kitchen. We all agreed this restaurant wouldn?t last more than 3-6 months. \r
Pros: Cozy atmosphere, pool table and couches in the back, good place to meet friends for drinks if that area is not already occupied (but not good for dinner).
Cons: Really subpar food for the prices. $26 for fatty flavorless steak. Average burgers for $16-18.
