- George Mann Tory Tavern
6.63 - 7, 7, 7, 7, 6.5, 6.5, 6, 6
Its been about a year that weve been getting
together for this dinner thing and we already have a repeat.
However, thats quite all right as we all enjoyed the food
and atmosphere at the historic George Mann Tory Restaurant in
Schoharie. A cold dark night was warmed by interesting and
entertaining conversation..., both on the ride to and from the
restaurant, as well as during dinner. Could anyone miss this
particular evening? I think not.
The Up Side The waiter was very
informative and even amusing at times. As always, the menu
was interesting and the food delectable. Their trademark lime
sorbet cleansed our palate prior to the main course. We
admired (again) with interest the stenciling and use of colors in
the various dining rooms, in addition to the wood work and
lighting.
The Down Side This evening seemed to
take leisurely dining to an art form. While the service and
the food were good, it seemed forever to get either one at
certain points in the evening.
All in all, another pleasant culinary experience. Even with the down side, I always feel like Ive taken in a bit of history with my dinner.
