| - Grand Cafe? More like... BLAND cafe.
I know I'm being a little harsh, but... it's true. A lot of the food (well pretty much most of it) was bland and needed more flavor. Or it was dry. Yuck. No wonder why it was kind of cheap. 3 Course meal (appetizer, entree, dessert) for only $10! Of course, who wouldn't want to choose that?! But anyway... our first visit will probably be our last. Sad, because I heard they have the best steak and eggs in town.
I ordered a house salad (because, you can't go wrong with a house salad), pasta with chicken, and a scoop of CHOCOLATE ice cream for dessert.
While we were sitting and waiting FOREVER for our food, I looked up the reviews on yelp and I was surprised as to why someplace so nice would have such bad ratings. And then, it happened. What I read became reality. Service was super slow. Our server took forever to bring us food or refill drinks. All the servers would do behind us was talk and talk, we could hear their conversations. And get this, it was DEAD! Maybe like 3 tables. And the table that was next to us got their food and everything way before we did! #frustrating
Finally our food came out, one after the other, but in really long intervals.
Salad- tasted like old lettuce... and the dressing taste (vinaigrette) was off.
Pasta with chicken- chicken was hard, pasta... harder, and no taste at all. It said it was alfredo, but it wasn't alfredo at all... weird taste.. I tried to at a little bit of salt. It helped a little but the only reason why I kept eating the stuff was because I was hungry.
Ice cream- we asked our desserts to-go because they were taking FOREVER and we had a wedding to get ready for... she came back with a to-go cup of ice cream... but it was vanilla.
My sister ordered a mimosa, but it tasted weird.
My sister ordered a Caesar salad (because, you can't ever go wrong with caesar salad), chicken and biscuits, and a brownie.
Caesar salad- once again, dry/old salad, and weird tasting Caesar.
Chicken and biscuits- she said it was nothing special. Biscuits were hidden... weird.
Brownie- looked stale and hard. Not sure how it tasted though cause she didn't end up eating it lol.
Needless to say, the food was just bleh and boring. Nothing grand about this place at all.
