A reader doesn’t have much that’s nice to say about the food at the recently-renovated Mallory – and he/she gave it three tries:

My first lunch: a bowl of mushroom soup. The soup was tasty, but served lukewarm. The soup had an assortment of local mushrooms in a cream base.

My second lunch was a mussel chowder. This was very good – lots of veggies and mussels in a milk base broth.

My third meal was breakfast – fruit and sausage. The sausages were 3 small overcooked links; dried and not very tasty. For the price I would have expected a gourmet assortment presented on the menu. The coffee is awful and the ice water lacks ice.

Notes: The air vent in the women’s restroom on the main floor – the one located in the ceiling of the large stall – is very noisy and clogged with dirt. I have mentioned this twice on my visits and it is still dirty. The kitchen is no longer offering the German pancake for breakfast. This used to be a favorite menu item before the remodel and appears to be a disapointment for many. Bottom line: the menu prices are high for the quantity and quality of the food presented.

Have you been to The Mallory for a meal yet? Is our reader onto something here?
