| - Service was great! Our waitress was genuinely interested in our satisfaction. We happened to be there on 1/2 off Wine Wednesday which made us very happy.
First, we waited far too long for our waitress to bring our wine. It turns out that they couldn't find the House variety that we ordered, so they upgraded us to a higher quality brand for the same price of the House and a complimentary dessert type of drink at no cost. This was a chocolate, Kahlua drink that was very good! That corrected the long wait.
The appetizer was so-so. We ordered the Shrimp and Artichoke Dip. It was a little bit spicy, but it wasn't too bad. Dinner was also OK. My husband ordered the corned beef with cabbage and loved it. I thought it was terrible, because of the heavy clove flavor. I ordered the beef and mushroom crock. The menu was vague, and I didn't realize the mashed potatoes were actually served on top of the stew. I also had them put some cheddar on top. It was good, but not exceptional. Bland flavors but edible.
I think my dish must have sat on the warming counter or in the oven for a long time because the cheese was practically baked, not just melted, and the stew was extremely hot with the crustiness that appears when something sits too long. I'm not kidding when I say "hot". We could see it steaming and I had to wait awhile for it to cool off enough to eat. I suppose I could have sent it back, but I didn't. The seasonal vegetables were good.
Altogether, with our coupon and the half off wine, it was an inexpensive meal for two. We were happy with the service and tipped according to the pre-discount amount. Although the food was not impressive, it was not bad, and we would probably go back with an appropriate coupon.
