| - I had the chicken and waffles last fall, or was it summer?, at the street fair they had for The West Side Market. It was so good I couldn't wait to go and get a real dinner.
I did end up waiting and my son and I went tonight, We were greeted and seated nicely and quickly. Our first question was could we get the sweet potato ravioli with out jalapenos , which our server told us no, it's already in the mixture. Ok, sensible answer, but we won't be trying them. Next, my son wanted both soups, so we asked if he could get 1/2 serving of each. Simple request, I thought. The server immediately responded with, "NO! We don't do that." Really? Why not? She went to the back to ask and came back and again told us no, claiming that the soup was made to order. REALLY?? Soup is made to order but entrees aren't. Rather ridiculous. (So the duck in the gumbo was slow cooked, apparently in ten minutes??) At this point, I'm irritated and would have preferred to leave and go elsewhere.
We stayed. We both got chicken and waffles, which were good but for $16 I would like both pieces of chicken to be white meat, or at least given the option. For $16 you get 1/2 a waffle, 1 piece of white meat, a fatty piece of dark meat and a tablespoon of syrup.
They had a nice selection of soda pop and they all come with a nice price of $3.50 each. At least we saved money on the tip.
We went. We ate. I seriously doubt if I'll go back.
