| - I really hate to do this, but after a few visits back, I think my original 5-star review was way too premature. It's pretty difficult to overlook the sketchy clientele of the hotel, which is usually hanging out in the parking lot making me feel uncomfortable, and the atmosphere of the restaurant itself leaves a lot to be desired. I realize they don't have a lot to work with, but still.
I had been willing to overlook the clientele and atmosphere because of the service and food, but the last couple of times, that's been pretty iffy, too. On our last visit, the waitress told us they were offering half price bottles of wine. We asked for a list - there's no list. Ok, can you tell us what whites you have by the bottle - two chardonnays, no other whites. What's the price on those? Unclear. Upon ordering the salmon, they were out of the salmon. Sigh. The waitress was a little too eager, and the only response she knew to our questions was "my pleasure," which made me feel like I was at Chick-Fil-A. The chef came out after we were done eating, which was nice, but he realllly wanted us to get dessert, even after we twice said we were stuffed, etc., and we finally had to get pretty adamant about it.
I hate to have been a little too starry-eyed when I wrote my first review, but I think American Cafe is off the list for us. We'll stick with Passion8.
