by Tim Reynolds on 2008-08-04Around since 1873, the history of the Ruffstone Tavern is long and one just recently explored by TAPS or Gohst Hunters. Owned and operated by Sean and Diana Feeley since the early 1990's, the Ruffstone is a rare find. Origional hardwood floors and warm brick colored walls welcome guests immediately. A long bar that houses every beer you can think of and every cocktail you can dream up lures you in. The menu has a traditional Italian flare with a heavy influence on the classics. From the parmaseans to the piccatas, steaks and fresh seafood (best fish and chips I've EVER had!), to wood-grilled pizza's and crab cakes, the Ruffstone has something for everyone. Because the Ruffstone is small, informal, and intimate, Chef Heather MacKnight is on hand to answer any questions you might have. The friendly bar and waitstaff are there to ensure your needs are met as well. Also, the owners are always on site, which is another rarity in this day of chains resturaunts. The Ruffstone also features a late night menu for college students and for those diners who come in after the kitchen closes at 10pm. There is live entertainment every Friday from 9pm to 1am. We were pleasently surprised walking in to this hole-in-the-wall hidden pearl and receiveed much more than we anticipated. The fish and chips alone were enough to feed 3 of us! The calamari had a unique spin served in a garlic-butter hot pepper sauce rather than with just marinara. Both portions were as fresh as they were enourmous. The grilled pizza was a delight topped with spinach, mushrooms, carmalized onions, tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella...enough for two, was an unexpected treat. The Ruffstone Tavern is open Tuesday through Friday from 11:30am-1am and Saturday's from 3:30pm to 1am. If you are looking for a more causual, cozy, and quiant place where your service and great food are the norms, the Ruffstone is it!
