    Sip happens — usually right around 4 PM, when our conservatory-style bar fills with regulars who figured out our secret first. From 4 to 6 every weekday, sunlight pours through the windows, the library ladder glides along our wall of spirits, and the bartenders turn out seasonal cocktails built from house-made shrubs and small-batch pours — alongside a rotating spread of shareable bar bites from our chef at happy-hour pricing. Settle into a banquette, let someone else do the shaking, and watch Ashland slow down through the glass.

    The food was delicious and the server was very helpful in helping us determine what to order. He checked in at appropriate times to be sure all of our needs were being met but was not intrusive at all.

    We have, in the past, enjoyed a table on the lawn with a glass of wine and comestibles from the bar/happy hour menu, but the bar staff weren’t seating out there this time. In spite of what appeared to plenty of wandering staff who saw us standing ready to check in, we waited at least ten minutes, before the busy bartender finally did so. I had a hard time finding something on the sparse happy hour menu I wanted to eat, settled on the beef carpaccio, which was tasty but sparse. I left hungry. We live in town, have spent many a special occasion in the restaurant, were delighted when the previous chef returned, but there are clearly management issues now to be solved, and a happy hour menu to be reimagined. I take no pleasure in leaving a disappointed review but I’m hopeful it may generate course corrections (pun intended) in a place we’ve been quite fond of.

    Excellent mixed green salad with a light dressing that brought out the components innate flavors. Pork chop was very tender with a delicious berry sauce. Fettuccine with mushrooms was OK, although the presentation was much to be desired (or was it the lighting in the room). Halibut was a bit dry, unfortunately the amount of thick green curry overwhelmed the bok choy & beans. Dessert of twin cheesecakes were the best as was the berry cream dessert. Staff was friendly and attentive, especially the hostess. Restaurant room is conducive to quiet conversation, but my party was right next to a rather loud group on a business trip/meeting that took away any pleasant ambiance. Understandably, this can always be a hit-or-miss,
