Devil's Den has a consistenty amazing draft list at really great prices. Also, their bottle list is very impressive. The service is not always super friendly, but is always competent. The mussels are really great - up there with Monk's in my opinion. Also, the desserts never disappoint. There's a fireplace, which makes it a great hangout on dreary winter days and nights. I'm a happy repeat customer.

Mon evening 6/15/09 after the rainstorm, there were 3 of us coming into DD for dinner. It wasn't crowded in the dining area. Only 3 other tables and I believe 2 already received their bill.
We sat down and the waiter gave us our menus.
After that - we were completely ignored.
Not even drink orders were taken.
We sat and waited, menus down and closed - I signaled to the bartender who walked by to get some service - he acknowledged and spoke to the waitstaff.
And still we waited.
Finally, the waiter (the same one who gave us the menu) looked my way and it seemed he was coming toward our table. He quickly turned to the bar area - and nothing.
We waited.
We gave up and went somewhere else.
I live in the neighborhood - and will never return (and will tell all my neighbors).

To the owner of Devil's Den:
When patrons experience good service - they will tell 5 friends. Bad experience, they tell 500 friends.
Horrible experience, they blog and write a scathing review.

Nice beer selection. Decent food. ABSOLUTE WORST dining room wait service. Seriously, this guy (Francisco, I think) may have been the worst waiter I have ever had, and I eat out a lot. Smug, arrogant, clumsy... and worst of all inattentive to the extreme to a large group of respectful diners. It was uncanny how ill-suited this guy was to deal with the public. I entertain a lot of well-paying folks in this town, and I will NEVER return to this place. Too bad, really.

My most recent trip to Devil?s Den was a couple of months ago, so things may have changed; however, I just looked at their menu and they still have the 23 ounce beers listed. When we were there we were suspect about the honesty of this claim and we poured the water from a standard pint glass into what they were calling a 23-ounce glass, and it filled the entire glass. One of the people in our group went up to the bartender to ask him how many ounces were in the ?23-ounce? glass, and initially dismissed him. He then casually agreed that it must be 23 ounces, but he was not completely sure!! While the food is good enough for pub fare, it does not make up for getting ripped off and then rudely dismissed by the uninformed (or purposely misleading) bartender and wait staff.
