Okay, now hopefully you all have read my other reviews and realize I am not picky or very hard to please. This place was horrible. We would have been better off at Mcdonalds...and I detest Mcdonalds!
We are a family of four. Two adults. Two daughters 9 and 15, on the dining plan.
Let me start by saying we were seated outside and it was WINDY!! Alberto was starting to churn up and I'll admit..eating in that wind had us stressed out to begin with. I have a picture of dh trying unsuccesfully to read his menu. It kept ripping out of his hands and standing straight up in the air! We will laugh at that one day!
I ordered the potato and leek soup..which I must give credit for...it was wonderful! Dd9 ordered the fruit and cheese appetizer...she enjoyed the grapes. The cheese was dried around the edges. Dd15 and Dh ordered the shrimp cocktail. Beautiful presentation, but it was teeny cocktail shrimp in a mayonaise base and neither of them ate more than a bite or two. The server never even noticed.
Our server must have been having a really bad day...he was so out of it. We had to ask three times for refills on our iced teas. When he finally gave in, he poured it from a pitcher with no ice. So, we had lukewarm tea for the rest of the meal.
Dd9 ordered the fish and chips. She took one bite and the fish was GRAY. Ick! Dd15 and Dh ordered the steak, yorkshire pudding, potatoes and green beans. They both took one bite of the steak and spit it out. They both said it tasted like liver <gag>. I had the chicken pasty, the chicken tasted as if it had been nuked within an inch of it's life. It was completely inedible. Our server didn't even bat an eye when he took away four untouched plates of food. It was almost comical to watch this guy in action.
Of course, we could find this amusing because we felt as if we weren't really paying for the meal...but let me tell you if we paying $150 plus for this meal we would have been quite upset!
Dh was ready to just get up and walk out, but I talked him into at least trying to get dessert into our stomachs so we weren't leaving starving. Dd9 did enjoy her build your own sundae. Well, she enjoyed building it. At no fault of the resturaunt, it had gotten bitterly chilly and windy and you just can't enjoy icecream when you are that cold. At least her tea was lukewarm to warm her up a bit.
Dh refused dessert...just on principal. He asked if he could have just a regular hot coffee instead and the server told him NO!!! There was no way dh was paying OOP at that place and it really chapped him to know this guy was getting an 18% tip! Dd15 and I shared the apple crisp...which was very good! I didn't care for my sticky pudding, but it could be that I was just upset at the whole experience by that point.
There was no concern for our enjoyment by the server and the meal was just awful. We'd be willing to give several resturaunts a second chance...but not this one.
