| - Just came back from the OSF...it was my first time in this restaurant. I ordered the Lasagna (mama's recipe) with the Caesar Salad to start. Hold on right there, maybe I should start from the VERY beginning.
My boyfriend and I walk through the door, we are the first in line for a table, it takes the greeter girl a few mins to see if there is a table ready for us. We are led to our table, my boyfriend finds a spaghetti noodle on his chair from the previous people. We sit, and we sit, and we sit. About 10 mins go by and we are just starting to get ready to get up and leave when our waitress comes over to take our order (with the bread in hand). As I said, I ordered the Lasagna, with Caesar salad and a coke. My boyfriend orders the spicy chorizo penne and a honey ale. We only have to wait about 5 mins or so to actually get our food. My b/f's meal...the only thing that was really wrong with it was not enough sausage in it and he discovered that his fork was dirty about 1/2 way through.
My meal? Well let's start with the salad. When she brought it over to me she brought the coke at the same time. Puts the coke on the table then goes to put the salad down, a crouton falls into my pop (she goes to get me another) while I am eating my "Caesar salad" (just lettuce with dressing and a little "fresh" parmesan) I look and notice there doesn't seem to be any dressing on the salad, well that's because it's all SUPER watery and is sitting at the bottom of the plate. So I put that aside and go to eat my "mama's" lasagna.
What a mistake that turned out to be. The menu description is "Layer upon layer of pasta, meat sauce and three different cheeses" Well it really is only layer upon layer. There were only 2 layers. Around the outside the noodles were hard and crunchy and the middle was just a pile of mush. I didn't eat very much and ran out of coke about 1/2 way through the meal. When the server came over to ask if we were done (she didn't come over at all during us eating the meal to see how everything was), she noticed I didn't eat very much of my food so she asked if everything was ok. I told her frankly that it tasted horrible.
She said she would speak with the manager to see if we could have it taken off the bill. The manager then came over to us and offered a $10 off coupon for our next visit and said that he had taken the lasagna off the bill. We proceeded to tell him that we would definitely not be back and advised him of all the other horrible things that had gone wrong prior to the lasagna. He also said not to order the lasagna when you go there as they make it for the kids so there is no spices in it so it's very bland (I did not order off the kids menu).
He tried making excuses about how his servers are all new and blah blah blah...I won't even get into the 15 mins discussion we had with him about everything and all the excuses he made. He did take care of the whole bill at the end of it all.
The jist of everything above? DON'T BOTHER GOING to the OSF. If you do, apparently go on Friday night's and say you are a friend of Joe and he will personally take care of you (or that's what he told us anyways). We will not being going back though, that's for sure.
