    Perhaps my expectations were set too high by the reviews on Open Table, but my roast chicken, with Peri peri sauce was very disappointing. The quality of the meat wasn't great and the sauce was so heavily smothered on that it made the skin soggy. My dinner companion had the plain roast chicken with the mustard sauce on the side. Do yourself a favor and get a roast chicken from Market Basket ---honestly, it's much better. The fries with rosemary-pepper were okay. Our server was delightful, which kept the evening from being a total loss.
