County Seat - Dinner

Shepard's Pie ($12.99)
The meal was served in its own dish - gravy with chopped meat and a few vegetables. It was covered with mashed potatoes and baked with a crust on top. The dish was presented with three onion rings. This was the first item at the new County Seat in which I have been disappointed. The presentation was blah (tan and brown with a garnish of onion rings.) Under the mashed potatoes there was very little meat or vegetables. I am used to shepard's pie being a hearty, solid dish and this was not. The only high point was the three onion rings. They were real onions and fried to a nice crisp. The County Seat is just north of Newton on Route 206. You must park across 206 in the lot diagonally across from the restaurant. Give it a try.. just maybe not the shepard's pie.
