Thanksgiving Day
DESCRIPTION: Horrific service: My family and I had been to Nathaniel Porter Inn on Thanksgiving under its previous ownership with Mr. Lynch, and we had a flawless time in a beautiful setting with incredible cuisine. What happened this Thanksgiving (under the new ownership) was horrendous. Here's the details: *Owner had a bad attitude (maybe upset from disorganization and lack of preparation?) *Owner's mother had an angry sour face the entire night (maybe upset because she had to clean up her son's mess?) *No bus boys *No bartender (except the owner with bad attitude, and in a frenzy - obviously way in over his head) *No "Happy Thanksgiving" greeting from anyone (including the owner) *Waitresses tried real hard (gotta give 'em credit based on the limited resources and poor management) *Music was Christmas-oriented? What was that all about! *No lit fireplaces (even though the Inn promises to light them) *Chaotic movements of staff - I thought restaurant staff were supposed to move with an organized, calm, flow. *Time table was three hours total to wait and then eat! *Many many other patrons were verbalizing their complaints...so loud that the entire restaurant heard them! I hope things change, because I miss the old Nathaniel Porter Inn. That evening was a poor example of what this restaurant could and should be, and it displayed a disrepect of the previous owner's hard efforts.

A wonderful breakfast spot in Jamestown
DESCRIPTION: A wonderful breakfast spot in Jamestown; and Jamestown sorely needed one. It has a comfortable, somewhat cozy atmosphere, although the new addition could use a more cozy feel. I believe the new chairs are a bit austere - they should have kept with the old chairs. Perhaps someone with a design sense could assist in creating a more welcoming new addition. The pastries, muffins and breakfast items are absolutely delicious!! The best I've tasted anywhere. In this Starbucks generation, it's so wonderful to have the uniqueness of homemade delcacies rather than 'prefab' food. The one major suggestion for Slice of Heaven would be "STRONGER COFFEE!" The coffee has a nice flavor, but very unsatisfyingly weak. Use the same coffee, just add more.

Slice of Heaven at Slice of Heaven
DESCRIPTION: How does on begin to write down how ferociously delicious the food is at "Slice". ( That's what Slice of Heaven is called by the local Jamestowners.) I had the really fresh croissant filled with real cheese(not the squirt or processed sliced kind), scrambled eggs and bacon. I could have had other fillers, ham or sausage (I despise the term, "breakfast meats") but my decadence is all the ingredients which sandwiched themselves inside this breakfast delight. I could have had my croissant as French toast with fresh berries, I could have had plain or fruit pancakes, or even the most delicious perfectly creamy or less so, if that's your desire, oatmeal, stuffed with every healthy, but also delectable, mishmash of delicious edible nouns. Alhough the adjectives "healthy" and "delectable" can be a paradox, in this case, they fit together perfectly. There's the breakfast burrito, I've hear that Chihuahua dogs and their owners have left Taco Bell to meet their friends at "Slice". Of course the menu includes homemade muffins, sticky buns, cookies, cakes, pies, puddings, and maybe even "lions and tigers and bears, oh my!" Slice of Heaven serves lunch as well, with sandwiches and salads which challenge one's decision making ability. Look, I don't eat breakfast out very much, so I'm not going to tempt the fates. When you know what you like, and you know where to get it, why risk it? If I want beautiful, I go to Jamestown; if I want delicious and beautiful, I go to "Slice".
