The Mendon House - Town of Mendon

Favorite hometown spot. Thursday nights Oyster Night Good bar, a lot of know how to make cocktails. Chef 's the best knows how to do a steak right.

We dined there last night and were deeply disappointed. One of the worst meals either of us can remember having. We chose to share three appetizers instead of an entree. The Lobster Egg Rolls were undistinguished and flavorless but the best of the lot. Cauliflower Tempura was mushy with a gooey coating and an oddly-flavored sauce. The Bulgogi Lettuce Wraps were awful; nothing close to real bulgogi. Overdone burned tough meat with three leaves of lettuce. To top things off it was expensive. The appetizers, one glass of wine, and a tonic water were $63 before tip. The ambiance was on a par with the food. We were seated at a table next to a door to a patio where a loud band played 10-12 feet away. Servers kept leaving the door open. We couldn't carry on a conversation and, eventually, got them to move us. The servers themselves seemed to do their best but were hampered by what seemed to be a chaotic environment.

My Fiancé and I stopped by last night to check the place out. The food was delicious and they cater to the vegetarian crowd which is a big thing for me. I ordered the Roasted Brussel sprouts w/candied walnuts and mushrooms with a balsamic vinaigrette absolutely delicious. My main entree was the sriracha honey with rice, broccoli and tofu which also excellent. But the star was the Brussel sprout appetizer.

This place is stacked with amazing staff who serve amazing meals and wonderful cocktails/drinks. I 1000% recommend going here.

We have not been here in over 8 years. The food used to be much much better, but it was fine. If you dine here, the best option is actually the bar area, which is warm, inviting and cozy. The drink menu is very nice and I would say it is a wonderful place to catch a drink with a friend for conversation. Our experience in the dining room however was not good due to an obscene customer. Not only did she yell her conversation (in an otherwise quiet dining room) but used profane language ...and those in her party proceded to out yell her (creating their own little Lombard effect). They were all the way across the dining room from us and we herd every single word she spoke. And all this before she even started drinking lol. It is unfortunate that many people have no idea of how to behave in public, but when a customer is behaving this way the restaurant should try to address it. The only thing they have to risk is loosing a customer that is difficult...but by not addressing they loose everyone else in the room.
