| - I and my mate went here the other day. They had only one handicapped parking spot which had no handicap sigh on the wall or pole. We had to park in a spot which was not the easiest spot for a disable person with a walker.
As we walked in we were greeted by a host who was busy writing on a pad. She said, one moment please. We waited patiently and she looked up and said how many 3?, We said two please and before we got a chance to say booth, she says, is this table OK? We both said, A booth is better. She looked around and said, we have a booth in the back of the restaurant, then continued to saying moment it is being cleaned. So my mate went to the car for a second as the gentlemen who was behind us walked up to the host. She repeated how many He said, 2. She looked at me and told me that our booth was ready.
As we were being seated because of the limited spacing of the seats and tables, it was not an easy task for me to push my walker through the areas as I had to ask people to excuse me and have them to push their chair in. As we finally got to the booth in the back of the restaurant, I asked, where can I put my walker? I expected her to say I'll put it here for you, instead she said,not caring, that I could put it over, motioning lazily.
We were waiting for our server. After about 10 minutes the server finally came, and ask us if we were ready to order our drinks, as we were looking at the menus. We ordered our drinks. She left and went to other tables. We waited and waited for about another 10-15 minutes before she came back and gave us a cup of water. As she set the water down she mentioned that she made a mistake and we never ordered water, but she would get us correct order....oopppps... She said I'll be right back with your drinks.
She came back with our drinks then left. We looked at the menus and were talking, realizing the loudness of the crowd in the back of the restaurant. We still had to wait before the server came back and we ordered our meals and my mate asked her where is the restrooms were and she told him just make a u turn and you will see it. My mate came back and the food was already sitting at the table .
I asked my mate where were the restrooms, and he said around the corner. The girl at the prep station said, there was someone already in the men's room. My mate informed me that the particular men's room was not handicapped accessible.
She told us that there was another restroom on the other side of the restaurant which we did not noticed or see before as we were greeted. She was reluctant to show us then decided to try to take us half way there. Again because of the layout it was a bit difficult for me to maneuver to get to the other side of the restaurant. Which had a semi-handicapped accessible men's room.
As we were walking back to our booth, We noticed that the host could have put us in a booth on the side which was called the coffee bar, but for some reason did not sit us there. However, we noticed the gentleman who was behind us was sat on that side of the restaurant.
We got back to the booth and started to eat the meals we had ordered. My mate ordered meat ravioli with meat sauce (which did not look like meat sauce) and a mini salad with Italian dressing. The salad was wilted and the ravioli was over cooked and it looked like it was sitting in a warmer for a few days. He said it tasted a bit spongy and the salad was pretty much dead.
I ordered the seafood pasta with shrimp and crab meat in white sauce. Then I ordered the Italian wedding soup. The carrots outnumbered the actual soup by at least 3 to 1. My mate and I took a few bites and then said, we were done. The meals were not very good and made us feel sick to our stomach.
The server came over to check on us, asking if everything were okay. We both nodded yes and she left. The next few minutes she came back and asked us if everything was okay and as we did before, we told her yes. While we were waiting for her to come back again to give us our check. She asked, if we needed boxes for our meals, we said no. She wondered why? We told her we were not going straight home and the food would not last in the warm car. She suggested why not put it in the trunk. My mate responded with I have a hatchback with no cover. She said o..... okay......
On a side note: The best part of the meal was the hot tea and bread. The bread seemed as though it was made fresh in store. If you don't have a bread maker or can't go to giant eagle to buy tea this is a good place.
originally I suggested my mate look at the dessert menu. He read it to me and it was long with many options. We had originally decided on getting some. After the lack of good food we were a little scared to order dessert and changed our minds.
