Now I’ve been here a couple of times before and I have loved it every time. They are consistent with what they do and I respect that. I hold this place to a high standard which is why my scale is a bit different. They definitely deserve 5 stars but my last meal was not 5 star worthy. The burger and sides were cooked sub par and topped with a lovely bun. The smashed potatoes could have been seared a bit longer with butter and olive oil to get that crisp and seasoned heavier and would have liked fresh garlic.The burger was trying too hard to be unique and I think they failed on this one. The jam on the burger just seemed out of place and I believe there was ground mustard. it was biting into a lightly seasoned burger and a powerful jam that just didn’t pair well together. It hit warm notes and that’s just not good on a burger. Now the beer cheese was great and I loved it and could eat it straight. Now I know this might hit some people the wrong way but I’m being brutally honest and would be doing a disservice if I wasn’t. I still recommend but I do hope they change this dish or get rid of it entirely. To the PEOPLES KITCHEN! If you would like to have me back to change my thoughts on this I’d love to try another dish. Please invite me back for your redemption

First time visit to TPK. Had the charcuterie board appetizer (very good flavors in the meats and cheeses, and the squash blend was tasty) and an Old Fashioned (decent, not great). Our main course consisted of the roasted chicken and the lamb shank. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the tomato sauce was aromatic and a little spicy, and the brown butter dumplings were garlicky and delicious. The lamb shank was also cooked excellently (crispy bits, fall off the bone, etc.) and was not gamey at all, but didn't have much in the way of spices or other flavor outside of the meat itself. The roasted eggplant puree was pleasantly flavorful, but the apricots were very chewy. All in all, a good dining experience, but not necessarily worth the price tag.
