Lyon's Den --New name, new thread

Lyons Den, formerly Townsend Tavern, formerly Gretchen's, is open in Glendale, overlooking the Gilford Town Docks and the Marine Patrol building. Tonight, the Phattened Gourmet and his wife and another couple ventured there for supper.

We started off in the bar area in the right rear of the building. After a drink, we went out into the dining room for dinner. Note the entire building is non-smoking, including the bar area.

Phattened and the other guy had tenderloin tips, his well-done, Phattened's medium, served with rice and mixed veggies, and cooked to perfection. The ladies had Chicken Nicole (chicken breast with artichoke hearts) and Filet Mignon, also cooked to perfection. Very tasty all the way around.

Entrees seemed to run in the $16-22 range.

Dessert: Chocolate Volcano...a chocolate cupcake filled with chocolate sauce and two scoops of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce drizzled over the plate. Excellent. Strawberry Cheesecake, hold the strawberry's said the other guy, and likewise was excellent. Brownie Sundae, and again two scoops of ice cream and very good.

Phattened and group rates it two thumbs up and well worth the trip. Met Mrs Lyons and was very cordial and thanked us for coming in. They do have early bird specials from 4:30 to 6 on Tues - Friday (I think I have the days right). Service was very nice. Restaurant was quiet tonight. Total bill came to $120. Servings were not skimpy, and did I mention the food was excellent!!!!!

Would we go back???? Phattened and phriends voted 4-0 in favor of a return visit.

PS: no website yet, but hopefully one will be forthcoming... I did mention to Mrs. Lyons that once they have a website, post a link on Winni.com for all to see.
