| - There were a few times in my life I've been unhappy with a restaurant, unfortunately this was one of those times.
It's been awhile since I've been there, but historically I like a couple of their menu items and drinks. Of course, the 2 items I knew I liked were taken off the menu and 1 was only available at lunch (not their fault) and the Flying Monkey drink was watery with no flavor, and I'm pretty sure very little alcohol.
The server was newer, not a problem, she just didn't know the menu well- didn't know what items were made of and what adaptations could be made for my daughter's allergy. I know special requests are annoying and I always feel amazingly guilty for being a challenge. The server didn't leave us with an empty glass, which gave my satisfaction a boost.
The server recommended the Adult Mac n Cheese. The sauce was good, albeit a bit salty. The meat had no flavor. The menu item itself was blah in color and I feel it should have come with bread.
My daughter was unable to eat her Cajun Pasta. I told the server of the situation, and she responded "oh, I'm sorry". I'm not saying I didn't want to pay for the meal, because I would have insisted I do, I just expected more of a response for better customer service. My daughter was embarrassed (she's a teen) and didn't know what other options were available and the server didn't help with that much. Ultimately, she ordered an additional side of fries (which of course we were charged for).
My son was happy with the few bites he took of the specialty cheeseburger folks rave about, though he commented how greasy it was, which made it difficult to eat. That being said, he's a tween, and not a big eater.
Sad to say, I left stressed and with a hungry kid. Paid almost $70, it just wasn't worth it.
