| - The whole family headed down to this joint with high expectations. As longtime vegetarians we were hoping for an enjoyable experience. We were sadly disappointed.
We had made reservations. We were seated in probably the most uncomfortable booth seating I have ever experienced. I could literally feel my back tightening up within the first 5 minutes. Fortunately, while I got up and stood outside for some relief, my wife was able to arrange to take the next table that opened up with real chairs (padded but hard as rock).
Our adult kids ordered off the summerlicious menu as did my wife. As the waiter completed taking our order he made an off hand remark about how my order from the regular menu would take a little longer - as we should know....
Waiting.
Waiting.
Finally the kid's fried mushroom thing arrived. By all accounts unremarkable - heavy on the batter, light on the mushrooms. Shortly thereafter their burgers and my wife's pasta arrived. The kids and my wife all agreed the burgers were tasteless, although the heavily salted buns were fresh. My wife's pasta was moderately warm but certainly not hot. It was extremely salty, understandable to a point as it had sun dried tomatoes but a bit excessive.
More waiting
My sesame crusted tofu finally arrived just as the kids were finishing their main course. Considering that We had been there at this point for about an hour and a half I was pretty hungry.
What a disappointment. The tofu was pretty boring, the sesame crust basically flavourless. The veggies on the side were lukewarm at best and not in the least bit plentiful.
The kid's dessert - some kind of vegan "ice cream" looked nice but tasted like a mistake.
At about the 2 hour point we were finally done and ready to take off. Just the bill to pay.
The waiter brought over the terminal and then proceeded to stand over me, looking over my shoulder as I completed the transaction, even though I had hinted that "I'm good" in an attempt to encourage him to give me some privacy. He really did stand over me as I entered the amount for the tip!
This same waiter had been refilling our water glasses etc. throughout the night and while he was okay, I could have done without the often repeated "there you go my friend"
In summary, never again.
If you are the restaurant owner, I'd suggest you spend some time there one evening.
The food needs an overhaul (same chef as Fressen? WAY too much salt), and your staff are walking around like they own the place - you could probably seat twice as many guests as you do if only your staff had a sense of urgency - especially the kitchen staff.
Not going back.
