I ordered the salmon dinner and had a side of green beans, red skin potatoes and coleslaw . The salmon was dry and I could tell it was over cooked because it took forever to chew it. The green beans were ok but not seasoned and the same thing with the potatoes. The potatoes had a great crunch though. The coleslaw was dry and definitely needed more sauce. My spouse ordered the grilled chicken back club. It came with a soup. The soup was potato soup was on point and you could taste the garlic in it. Which was absolutely fine with us because we love garlic. The club sandwich was ok for the most part. Bread was toasted perfectly and man the dill pickles were amazing. But, the chicken was dry and we asked for no tomatoes but could definitely taste tomatoes for some reason. For us, we aren't sure about returning.

However, a real turnoff was the N-word used 3 or 4 times, once by an off duty worker (waitress/cook/co-owner?) while I was there. They can't help how the customers talk, but employees, even off the clock? Not cool. It was supposed to be a great night; while my politics is ever-evolving, my family in Iowa had just gotten to high five Don Jr at an event which, whoever I vote for now was darn cool that day! This visit kinda put a damper on our fun. We don't talk that way.

I was extremely disappointed with our recent dinner at Maxwell's on the River. The menu was very…read morelimited, and I almost walked out after seeing it. However, I had promised my husband a nice steak dinner, so we decided to stay. The steak choices were an 8-ounce filet mignon or a 10-ounce sirloin cap served sliced sushi-style. We ordered the $52 sirloin cap, and it was incredibly chewy. Thankfully, it was already sliced, or we might not have been able to cut through it. I told our waitress how tough it was. She apologized, but did nothing to correct the situation--there was no offer to replace the steak or make things right. I ordered the yellowfin tuna appetizer because I used to love Maxwell's previous tuna dish so much that I would order it as my entrée. Unfortunately, this version was disappointing. The tuna was okay but had very little flavor, and the cashew chimichurri sauce was mediocre at best. The Brussels sprouts were overcooked, and the sauce seemed like it was trying too hard without adding much to the dish. Dessert was crème brûlée, but it tasted like plain vanilla custard with very little flavor, topped with overly caramelized sugar and berries. I truly wish I had trusted my instincts and walked out. For what we paid, the meal was nowhere near the quality we expected. Honestly, the two-for-$25 meal at Applebee's would have cost a quarter of the price and probably would have been far more enjoyable. We will not be returning.
