Mosquito Grill and Bar Garnering Mixed Reviews
Have you tried the new restaurant since it took over the Rapscallions location?
Some say it's great, others say the service is terrible and the soup tastes like "bad lumpy gravy."
Back in July, popular Rapscallions closed quietly, and Mosquito Grill and Bar took its place.
"We are open during the changeover" the sign outside read a few weeks prior. At the time, it wasn't clear what the changeover meant.
It wasn't until the new Mosquito sign went up that most folks know Rapscallions was gone for good.
And Rapscallions had some faithful followers. I loved going there on special ocassions, sitting outside on the deck and bribing my young children to behave with the promise of a string of beads on the way out.
Patch reader A. T. Burke commented on a previous story that the new restaurant has "good, old-fashioned service we remember well from the 1950s and '60s. ... with accommodating staff and well-prepared food."
But a friend of mine took her family and said the service was horrendous and the food mediocre.
So I haven't been by Mosquito yet. The range of reviews has me a little nervous. I don't want to be disappointed. I loved Raps.
I would love to hear from more of you about your own experiences at the new eatery.

My wife and I have gone to the Mosquito Grill once since it changed from Rapscallions. We were impressed with the quality of food and the attentiveness of the wait staff. At the time, there was live music which was of a genre that we enjoy. The local band was good, and they were not so loud that we could not converse at our table. All in all, we had an enjoyable evening. We will go back.

My husband and I have been twice in the last month. We sit at the bar or, at a table in the bar, so we we can listen to Charlie Morris and the band perform. The service in the bar is FANTASTIC. Our food was very good and served hot. The staff is very friendly. I hope Mosquito Grill is very successful. It is an upbeat place to go with friends or family.

I love Mosquito Grill!! The food is fantastic and the music is good. Sometimes it is too loud to hear my friends, but we can go out back and sit on the patio if we have to discuss anything important while there. For the most part, we can always find a seat. Some days it is more crowded than others. Extending their closing time was a VERY WISE decision. We love SCOTTY too!!
