The best part about Fiddler's Green Restaurant is the service, with the decor coming in at a close second.

The food, while it's the third best part of the restaurant, doesn't fall short of any expectations one would have over spending $20 on a prime rib dinner that includes two sides and an appetizer.

The clam chowder in a cup, which was actually a tad greasy and not to my liking.

The prime sirloin steak, which was available for the same price as the prime rib.

The Fiddler's Cut prime rib, which is around an inch and a half thick. I ordered it medium rare but the meat was slightly less cooked through than I would have preferred. That being said, it was still pretty good, and the mashed potatoes tasted like they were made from potatoes and not some kind of powder reconstituted with water and milk.

The server (who turned out to be one of the restaurant owners) was keen enough to observe how we were dressed, and offered to have us wait a few minutes for a nice table to open up in the back. The booth seats themselves are lined with the sailing decor that can be enjoyed throughout the restaurant.

Dinner will set you back around $25 per person, but I will definitely come back here again. While the food is not to die for, it is still pretty decent, and the warm service makes the dining experience improve by leaps and bounds.
