| - A friend and former colleague of mine invited me to dinner at Bonnie & Clyde's with her husband and daughter. This was my first time here and their second. Conveniently located in busy Wexford, Bonnie & Clyde's boasts a decent sized menu with something for nearly every type of appetite.
We dined on a Thursday night around 7p. The restaurant was not completely full, but busy with other diners coming and going - we did not have or need a reservation. We were seated in a booth in there main dining area. My biggest gripe with this room and it was immediately noticeable, was the fact that it is not insulated. The temperature in the room was not consistent. At times, there was a hot (and I mean hot) draft coming from the heating system. When the thermostat kicked off, it got noticeable cooler very quickly.
Two of us ordered their house chardonnay which was quite pleasant and appropriately priced at $6 for a glass. One of the other guests enjoyed a beer, although I'm not sure the cost.
For an appetizer, a couple of us shared a plate of their calamari. It was lightly breaded, not greasy, and served with slivered banana pepper rings and a sweet dipping sauce.
For our entrees, three of us ordered a salad. Two steak salads (although we swapped chicken for steak) and I think the other guest ordered a salmon salad (but served with chicken breast). I enjoyed my steak salad, but I definitely added a bit too much ranch dressing which overpowered what could have been a relatively healthy meal. Instead of fries on top of the salad, they placed onion bits. The size of the salad (something I always question when ordering) was decent. There really wasn't anything unique about the salad to make me think "Wow, this is amazing!"
We finished our meal with a couple coffees, no dessert.
