At 1:15pm we went over to Liberty Square area to check in for our 1:30pm ADR at Liberty Tree Tavern. After we had checked-in, the hostess noted that it was Ems birthday and asked if she wanted a cupcake with a birthday song why sure.
We had a short wait and were seated in a new area of the restaurant for us a lower section at a table for two. Caitlyn was our server and perhaps forgot to take her ginko that morning she had a few lapses. Since we had been here several times before we knew what we wanted. We were not expanding our horizons much since we were sticking with what we knew and loved.

I ordered the Tri-Corner sandwich (roast beef and swiss with Liberty Tree slaw, horseradish cream sauce and arugula on multi-grain bread) with fries. The menu says that the side selections are soup or salad but I asked for fries and it wasnt a problem. Em ordered the New England Pot Roast that comes with mashed potatoes and garden vegetables these are actually the carrots, celery, and onions that are in the pot roast. We also ordered the fried cheese to share.
Our fried cheese appetizer was delivered and uhhh
it was only 5 cheese logs and no more cheese curds like they used to serve. I asked Caitlyn why there were no more curds and she replied that they discontinued serving those that week. She said a lot of people had complained and to write a letter. Ok
not sure Im that upset but I think well skip these next time since they really arent that great. The sauce is likely from a jar.
Onto what was good with the meal
the entrees! I love the Tri-Corner sandwich. I can never eat but half so if I could find someone to share one of these with me that would be ideal! One observation about the sandwich, it had just a dab of the horseradish cream on it so it was barely noticeable and the slaw was almost non-existent. Seems like Dis is trying to cut some corners by cheapening out on the sandwich toppings
The fries were awesome!

And another view:
Em loved her pot roast it was definitely better than the version served at 50s PT Café. LTT's version had large chunkier pieces of veggies. I had a big bite of meat and it was delicious.
Pot Roast - you really can't see much of the meat in this photo but I can assure you that there was a large chunk of meat under there:
Even though we didnt clean our plates, Caitlyn asked if we left some room for ooey gooey toffee cake? Yes, please. I love that dessert. Em ordered the chocolate cake. I asked for the ice-cream on the side since I dont really eat it. Well
my toffee cake arrive with ice-cream on top, oops! Caitlyn had to go back and re-do it without the ice-cream. Ems chocolate cake was 3 layers deep and looked good she was happy.
Ooey gooey deliciousness:

Now what is missing here? Remember we said, sure, bring out a birthday cupcake with a song. Nope, wasnt done. And yes, there were others being serenaded with cupcakes that day. Also, we hadnt had drink refills since before we were offered dessert
apparently they were rationing drinks as well as cupcakes.
Even though our service was not great, Caitlyn sure did get a good mark for friendliness.
The bill was $57.22 with $11.09 in TiW savings. Even though this place doesnt thrill us like it did a few years ago, I still look forward to returning.
