Bully's East Prime Bistro Sports Bar

Took my friends & family for Valentine’s Day dinner & was pleasantly surprised for being known as a “sports bar” that the menu selection & food was outstanding. We did secure reservations online which made it easy, and would recommend it for parties more than 4, but it was Valentine’s Day. Otherwise everything was delicious, service was spot on. Apparently has a long history & went through changes, but wouldn’t know it & plan to go back again!

We have frequented Bully's for lunch for years. These past two years it has become more than expensive. Yesterday we spent $73 for fish and chips at $25ea, and a bottle of low end brut $18. Yes, the cost have gone up but what did we miss? $18 for a $3-5 bottle is ok but it was placed and never poured! We had to open and serve ourselves. The portions were small enough that we both ate our entire meal and had no take home for the first time ever! And the past few visits there is no circle of floor management. No one stopping by the tables other than our server. This is a huge atmosphere change for an upscale restaurant at 11:30 on a Tuesday.

The food and the initial service was unfortunately disappointing. We waited over 15 minutes to be greeted once seated. The server that eventually took our table was was nice. The hamburger we ordered was bland. The chicken noodle soup had elbow pasta which is traditionally used in minestrone soup not chicken noodle. The chicken noodle also had several spicy whole pepper corns that should have been crushed not whole. The only part of our meal we enjoyed was our French fries. The items we ordered were at least reasonably priced. The restaurant was a bit loud, but the bar area is adequate for watching sports. Perhaps this place is only best suited for happy hour or the kitchen was having a bad night.
