I am soooooo sad to say this cuz I was hoping to come up here with my mom and kid this summer for a girls trip and this is where me and my family vacationed every year when I was a kid and we just adored this little
The bar/lounge used to be in a separate area, but over the years they moved it into the beautiful restaurant area, so there was really loud live music about 2 feet from our table. I thought ok this isn't ideal but the view Is still amazing. Then I see the menu and.......all the stuff that used to be amazing has been removed, and replaced with not such great options . We decided instead of getting the big extravagant meal to just getting appetizers. And a burger for my bf
The waitress seemed either really new or really slow. After about 20 minutes of waiting for her to come over to take drink orders (the restaurant was empty, she had one other table) by the time she did we already knew what we wanted to order so we ordered it right then cuz we were trying to get back to the dog as fast as we could. My bf ordered a burger, and I ordered a cup of clam chowder and a spinach and artichoke dip , then I was told the spinach dip was gone, so I ordered something els . So another 20 minutes go by , still no clam chowder , still no drink , the waitress to the table next to us ( those ppl got seated after us btw) checked on them 3 times , and got them they're drinks right away , and when she brought them they're drinks, I hear her say " and your spinach and artichoke dip will be right out" so they did have the dip I attempted to order , that was annoying. Finally our waitress comes over and tells us they do have the dip , that she canceled the pretzels .
We were like Oh cool. That's awesome that she did that...........but then the food literally didn't come out for another 40 minutes, and she gave us the pretzels for free cuz they had already made them but they tasted like they just got out of the microwave. The artichoke dip was cold, and my bf's burger was so soggy on the bottom it was falling apart . Because we were now in a rush when we got our food that we asked for the check right then, and ordered 2 pieces of strawberry shortcake to go ( because the amazing chocolate mouse cake they used to have is GONE from the menu....) and we stated we were kind of in a rush now cuz at this point wede been away from the dog for like an hour and a half and were just trying to eat real quick and leave .
We put the debit card with the bill and stated eating , the entire time we were eating she never came back to check us out , she never brought the deserts out, she was no where to be found for another 20 minutes or so , finally she comes out and starts talking to her ONE other table for a good 15 minutes , her back turned to me and my bf the entire time, finally he walked up to her With the bill and was like "can we please just pay, we kinda gotta go,"as we already stated. She starts saying that she was just waiting on our deserts to be ready to ring us out, why? I have no idea , cuz that completly defeats the purpose of me ordering deserts and asking for the bill as soon as we got our food was to pay while we eat, grab our deserts and go as soon as we're done eating . That WAS the plan......was....
So finally after chasing her down (again we were one of 2 tables of hers) she tells us she'll meet us up front with the deserts ( we tipped 20% btw even though we deff shouldn't have at all, we basically enabled her horrible job by doing so, that's on us) . We meet her up front. She comes out With the deserts, were like OMG FINALLY 2 hours later! So as we're RUNNING to the car , my bf opens up the strawberry shortcake.......and this was the icing on the cake. And unfortunately I do not mean literally .
Strawberry shortcake is a pretty simple desert to master. POUND CAKE- STRAWBERRYS- WHIPPED CREAM. But apparently they think a frozen Pillsbury biscuit, (YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT! no pound cake, instead you get a biscuit. I guess they think they are KFC?) and a cup of strawberries is the same thing as strawberry shortcake , no whipped cream, cuz they think whipped cream is over rated I suppose? So 7.99 a piece for a frozen biscuit and some strawberries.
This was possibly one of the worst experiences I've ever had going out to eat, and it USED to be one of my best experiences at the exact same place. I don't know if this downfall is pandemic related but I SO hope one day this place goes back to being what it used to be . Until then , we will probably not be back. read more
