Fun atmosphere, comfortable dining, delicious food, great service. Only negative high noise level, but still we would return because everything else was fabulous. View all feedback. What Christelle Towne doesn't like about Pen & Quill:
I have loved this restaurant any other time I've gone, but, for downtown dining, the food was outright terrible. All three of us HATED the food, and it's unfortunate that I place I've highly regarded in the past could serve such horrendous food. Extremely disappointing and a giant waste of money and time.

Staff was very nice but food took a really long time to arrive (we were seated at 8 and our entrees didn’t come out until past 9 pm).

The restaurant has received mixed reviews recently, with some customers noting a decline in food quality and mediocre service. Some guests were disappointed by the lack of innovation in the menu and the replacement of crawfish with shrimp. However, others have praised the ambiance, service, and food quality, with favorites including the cheese plate, deviled eggs, and chicken sandwich. Overall, the restaurant seems to have potential but needs to work on consistency and menu creativity to appeal to all guests.
