| - To be honest, I went on a date here. Thanks Match :-) (have been using Match for many, many years, long story there)...but met a gal that I'd connected on that site with, for lunch at Majerle's.
First off the door greeter, forgot her name (she was really cute though) because she was awesome, recommended various dishes, shared how much she loved the place... "You're biased! You work here I said!" "You're right, but before I came to work here, I ate here and completely loved it! In fact, you should try these..." and then she rattled off some things to try, which I ended up trying one of the dishes and she was right...AWESOME.
I had a bleu cheese burger for lunch. Pretty tasty, a lot of food for the price. Is that good? Not sure what their books are showing for a profit, but the size of the bread on that burger could be cut by about 1/2 and you'd still have a nice burger. The bun was so large that I had to cut it in half to eat. Mostly bun, the burger was cooked as requested, so no problems there at all.
Now, what does bother me as that normally when I bring a burger home or even to a hotel and put it in protective wrapping, then later on warm it up to have the remainder of it to eat, the results are not what I experienced from this burger. I reheated it in a microwave and after eating it became very sick and spent most of the night close to the porcelain throne just to make sure the world knew that I was King for that night.
Am sure it's probably just a fluke, but it could have been anything that was in that burger as I'd not had any other food during the day and this was an afternoon seating, around 2pm or so on Monday the 5th.
Additional information, the waitress assumed I guess that we were previous guests and was a bit rushed. Normally when I was waiting tables and was VERY successful at it, I would greet my tables and ask them "Have you been a guest here previously? Or is this your first time?". When I did that, I was able to establish rapport with my people and basically sell them anything on the menu that I desired them to enjoy and would reap the rewards via tip and remarks to my manager on the way out. When we left, the tip reflected the amount of service and there was not a manager in sight, otherwise I'd have been having a few words about the experience with them.
Not sure I'll be back to this chain of restaurants as I am sure there others out there who'd not only appreciate my business, but also my words of review when that time comes. I don't wish to be coddled, but I do expect to have a great meal no matter what time of the day it is and I expect value for what I am paying, and lastly I expect that the establishment will be guarding its own profits and providing not too much, but just enough to keep people talking and coming back for more.
