ALE & COMPASS LOUNGE


menu.... the beginning


menu's guts:
it did it's job well.
Plus it informed us of all the place had to offer.
Neato


buffalo cauliflower
Not shabby but a better batter would be better. Believe it baby.


garlic roasted shrimp
Loved it all, wanted more of the garlic bread.
The garlicky roaches of the sea hit the spot.


My burger & fries
Much of a surprise. Cooked to liking and fries were good.
Great bacon, pigs would approve.
Happy this was a first time here and pleased by the food.


wife's burger
she agreed with my testament.


chocolate cake
Looked better than tasted.
cold and not the freshest.
Not the worst.


Receipt
The audacity of them asking for financial funding after eating a meal, the nerve.
I paid it but don't let this become a trend. I was so taken back......

Since we're staying at Saratoga it's easy for us to get here first thing in the morning.
Not much of a wait and wanted to try a few of these new monthly flavors.
Everything was okay, but nothing ever stands out as stupendous.
Me and the wife both find it's very over hyped. We have tried it three times in the past
and always just Meh. I want to be surprised once and really love it.
Perhaps someday.

PB cold
The peanut butter cold brew coffee keeps us coming back, it's marvelous.
A must have. Perfection but gotta remember to ask for less ice.
They put too much ice in it hardly any coffee. Thats how they get you.
I really do love the decor inside. Smells are blissfully erotic.
If it's your thing get in line.

I love their cake, but I really wished the amount of frosting that they actually used matched what is in their pictures. What they actually use is WAY to much, IMO. And I really like frosting! The cake part is always awesome, but I end up leaving half of the frosting behind.

I wish for more cake less frosting too. Barely any cake really.

Perhaps you will have a better meal. I still will go back to try some other items.
May the force be with you.

Amazing reviews. We were there around the same time as you. It was fun to see what you had from the Festival of the Arts food booths. I think we chose all the dishes you didn't! So it was fun to read yours. Thanks so much for the great humor and reviews.

Hi back at ya. I have a couple of nutrition stores in NJ, Glassboro & cherryhill.
Not a big deal but not as impressive as I was hoping. Food was still pretty good.
Hopefully the AC location is great.

I miss the "nutrition shores" of NJ. Moved to FL from Philly then Washington Township. Haven't found real Italian or a simple diner here. Nothing in Disney even comes close. Love your reports! So much of a variety and so thorough. You need to visit more often!!

CANADA:

maple popcorn
It was much better last May. This was not as sweet & salty.
Barely any maple essence. Sadness fell as we trashed most of it.
OH! Canada.........

My wife and I got this for the first time during our trip this past week and were very underwhelmed. Couldn't understand why all the reviews/blogs/YouTubers raved about it. Hoping that it returns to its old form so that we can try it again.

BOARDWALK BAKERY:

doodle muffin: this is perfection, warm it for maximum pleasure, got it twice. So good.
doodle Muffin: YES! one of the better baked goods anywhere. Warm it up even more doodlee.
.

We got gifted two of these from the family in the room next door to us at our Boardwalk stay ast week (it's a long story - I hid pixie dust in the parks and their kids happened to be the ones who found it, so we met up at the Briar Patch and got aquainted), and I'm so glad, because it's not something we would ever have thought of buying ourselves. I took the first bite expecting it to be dry and crumbly and kind of blah on the inside ... but oh no... that muffin cake is so so amazingly good. It is fresh, rich ... don't know if there is sour cream or something in there for that texture but oh my. We will have to try warming them up next time!

I wonder why it changed so drastically, and we just had it last May and it was stupendous.
