Yelp starts this review by saying: A few things to consider in your review: Food, Service, Ambiance. Wow, well they fail at all three.
Now 2 years ago, I posted a review and swore I would never EVER come back. But, here we are on New Year's Eve, and our favorite places are closed, and we wanted to stay close...sooooo hubby said, "Look, in 2 years a place can change."
Oh my.
It did change. It got even worse.
So we get there and we are seated. We wait, we wait, we wait...we don't even get WATER for 20 minutes. FINALLY we get that, but no drink order, nothing. The waitress is telling stories of how everyone feels they know her...it's been happening for YEARS she says to another table. Well, couldn't be too many years, because I'm not sure she is old enough to serve alcohol.
But ...I digress. She finally shows up at our table to take our drink order, but by this point we are STARVING. So hubby tells her we would like to order our dinner too. This seems to take her aback...but we order our drinks, clam chowder for him (and he asks for Tabasco sauce) and onion rings for me. Then I order prime rib rare, and he orders the salmon.
We wait, and wait, and wait...finally out comes our appetizers. The onion rings that she raved about, after telling me that the artichoke dip has an odd texture and is not that good, are thrown on a plate, and they appear to be and taste like Ore Ida. There is no sauce with them though the menu claimed there would be a bbq and a garlic aioli sauce. I point this out she asks which I want. I said, both...since it comes with both. We also had to again, ask for Tabasco sauce.
Once the dips and sauce arrives, I take one bite of an onion ring, and hubby has had 2 spoons of chowder when our dinners come out. I said, "That is too fast..." but she ignores us and puts them down.
First thing I notice is the meat is cold, not like rare cold, but like room temp cold, and the veggies are reallllly cold. The au gratin potatoes are the only warm thing on my plate. Hubby says his veggies are also stone cold.
15 min later, the waitress asks how it is and we tell her the food is cold and veggies very cold. "Oh do you want me to take them back to get reheated?"
Now, they were never heated, clearly...so RE is not the term I'd use, but generally we REPLACE the food. Hubby says, "No, by the time it comes out I would be done with the rest of the food." She goes away.
She then comes to ask if we want a box, I'm still trying to eat, so clearly, no. Another lady comes by, very nice woman and asks the same, and I say no, I'm not reheating OreIda onion rings that I only got one of due to the food coming too quickly. She apologizes to me.
Then the server comes, does NOT remove any plates, and says, "Here is your check," like she cannot wait for us to leave. I'm clearly sensing she has a party she wants to get to and I am cramping her style. I said, "Don't you have a dessert menu?"
"Oh," she says, and rattles off three things. My hubby says he would like the pecan pie. She still takes NONE of the dishes. Pie comes out, she hands it OVER the dirty dishes, leaving them in place. I try to ask for a refill of soda, but she ignores me completely.
I go to pay the bill and I ask her to remove the onion rings since I didn't get to eat them. She says, she doesn't think they can. I said, "Get your manager." She leaves. She then returns saying, "She said to take it off she has no time to talk to you."
Well then. I paid the bill and on it I wrote, "Tell your manager to pay the tip--I don't have time." and I left.
Two years made it only worse. As we left, we saw that people were lined up for the New Year's Eve Party. So still, Karaoke and parties are what this place is about, not food. I get it. Be warned. The folks here saying the meat is cold and flavorless. They aren't lying to you. Trust the yelps. Avoid this place. read more
