| - I feel the need to write a little something after finally caving into the work-related hype surrounding Joey. Yes, the deep-fried mashed potato spring rolls were good (it's a deep fried mashed potato spring roll...) but they weren't transcendent the way they are at The Venetian in Las Vegas. The mushroom soup was great, the Caesar salad less than average. My friend's fries tasted at least as good as the fries at McDonald's. That stands for something, right?
Now, my real beef. The desert. Everyone was blathering on and on and on about this chocolate lava cake. Ok, great. So it came, and it was under cooked. It tasted fine, but you could actually tell that this is some boxed pre-frozen thing that is shipped in and heated and slapped on a plate for ya. Then someone takes a ketchup bottle full of raspberry crap and makes zig-zags on the plate. FANCY, RIGHT?? Pony the hell up.
Bottom line is that a chain is a chain is a chain. This is a chain. Expect chain food.
Also, the service was slow and weird--I get it, you're tall and pretty, but could you take my order/bring me my food? This is not to say that the hostesses were not welcoming, and friendly. They were--so give them the serving jobs!!!
Lastly, the washrooms were actually FILTHY. It was shocking and I wasn't impressed. Two stars--overall sort of a boring, weird experience.
