| - I know, I know, they are new so I'm going to preface everything I say from this point on with that and let you be the judge...
I decided to host my Bookclub there because I thought the theme of the restaurant was a great fit for the book we read, The Great Gatsby. As always, I booked reservations. I arrived 10 minutes early so that I can decorate the table before the other ladies arrived (I'm extra like that). I was greeted promptly but told that I was early and would have to wait for my table. Looking around the restaurant was empty but I'm not a restaurant manager so... I, and a few group members, ended up sitting there until 20 minutes after my reservation. It wasn't until I asked how much longer when I was told, "oh, your table is ready. We were waiting for you."?????
We are seated, decorated and ready to place our order. But alas, they are out of the one thing we all wanted to try, what seemed to be their desired signature dish, the crabegg rolls. We decide on wings instead which turned out to be a pretty good choice seeing how we didn't know at the time that was the most food we would be eating there.
We ordered our drinks and entrées, they were out of what one group member wanted. Do you see a pattern emerging? It gets better. The drinks come in plastic "toy" cups, the kind my daughter and I use for her tea parties. The entrées come in plastic cereal bowls. These servings are not even nearly close to the size you'd expect for the prices they charged. It was more like a sampling not a meal. Cheddar biscuits were supposed to accompany our food however they ran out and had just put a batch in the oven. It would be at least 20 minutes. Our waitress asks if we'd like regular biscuits instead? Only to have to come right back out and say those were too old to serve. We were done eating our sample bowls and needless to say my group is ready to go, making plans to meet at another restaurant to really eat, and here comes our server with a bowl of the driest, saltiest (but hot) biscuits I'd ever tasted. Why I thought I'd chance it and order dessert I'll never really know except that I'm a sucker for pecan pie. Perhaps I was praying that they could get this right. Well if you've read this review in its entirety by now I know you know what I was told. Yep, they were all out of the only dessert I cared to try from the menu.
In her defense, our server, Marilyn, was spectacular! I think she felt out pain. She gave us coupons for a discount if we came back. My group promptly passed them all back. Guess that says it all huh?
