    I am an out of towner and like to meet clients for lunch. I often select the Front Page because it has a varied, moderately priced menu and very good service. My only complaint is the music which seems to come blaring out of speakers in both the outdoor and indoor parts of the restaurant. Too loud and doesn't really seem to fit the profile of the clientele. This should be background music for atmosphere, not loud R&B music. Otherwise, I still recommend it.

    I have had really enjoyable lunches at The Front Page. Dinner on a Friday, during happy hour, was a huge mistake. They had very little wait staff for diners (I saw - honestly - only 1 waiter for all the tables) and the noise level from the bar was through the roof. I'll go back for lunch, but not make the dinner-mistake ever again.

    The Front Page menu was much less extensive than the on-line version shown on Opentable. There was confusion amongst the many waiters and bus persons serving our table. The rolls were frozen in the middle and the steak was a bit tough. The Wednesday night special for $19.00 was a good value with plenty of food, but the wine list was almost non-existant. It was an enjoyable evening, but my wife and I likely will not return to The Front Page any time soon.

    this is a great place to catch up with friends. The food was good, service was great and the atmosphere is lively and energetic. DuPont is always a fun place to be.....unless of course you need parking!

    This was my second time at this establishment for brunch, and i must say that the service and food were great every time. I would recommend this establishment to more people.
