Key Colony Inn, Marathon

Most people eating here looked like golfers - there is a golf course across the street.

The wait staff wear Tshirts that say "Heaven is when the police are British, the cooks are Italian..." etc.

The restaurant was nicely decorated, with carpet on the ceiling (which had precast concrete beans) to keep down the noise.

Even though we came without reservations, we were seated without any fuss.

Bob likes this restaurant the best of any in Marathon, and we came back and ate here several times including for his birthday.

Favorite Dish: Trying to keep the total bill down, Bob had a bowl of the soup of the day (split pea $2.50) and a serving of lasgna ($11.95) which he couldn't finish and we brought it home and a banana coupe ($3.95)

I had chicken l'orange ($12.95) which was so tender I could cut it with a fork (but I also couldn't finish and had to bring part of it home). With our entrees we got bread, and I had au gratin potatoes. We each also got a salad. I had a chocolate mouse cake for dessert ($3).

The total bill was $46.08 including tip.
