| - Being a fan of the TCF, but not being able to get into the one in metro Detroit, this was a great option.
Thankful that they took call ahead seating as we called 90 minutes in advance, Nicole was gifted in hospitality.
We arrived at 4:28 , all metered parking .25 per 15 3 hour maximum .
The hostess kiosk was empty, no one not one person staffing it, we were part of 2 couples waiting to be *noticed *recognized*seated
( as 5 servers gathered behind the cheesecake display case )
Finally a manager from the back of the house saw our dilemma, jumped in and sat both parties.
Steven was our veteran 11 year server, knew the menu back & forth and was a bigger than life persona . ( when we could track him down as he was a.w.o.l. several times )
Don't get me wrong , very good server, smart & friendly, and got more than 20% , but less time gabbing at every order station with your coworkers would be wise.
Now beyond the bumps in the road, our food was 5 stars , and the portions were huge, which provided leftovers and 2nd meals for us both .
My wife ordered the:
Crispy Chicken Costoletta
Chicken Breast Lightly Breaded and Sautéed to a Crisp Golden Brown.
Served with Lemon Sauce, Mashed Potatoes and Fresh Asparagus.
$17 three large chicken breasts lightly breaded and moist through & through.
I ordered:
Jamaican Black Pepper Shrimp
Sautéed Shrimp with a Very Spicy Jamaican Black Pepper Sauce. Served with Rice, Black Beans, Plantains and Cool Mango Salsa. Available with Chicken or Chicken and Shrimp.
I ordered it with both chicken and shrimp, plus they allowed me to swap out white rice for brown.
Both dishes were 5 star in flavor, taste & portion size
Boxed 50% of our meals for today's lunch and ordered 2 pieces of cheesecake for home
triple vanilla bean
&
salted caramel
food 5 stars
seating -staffing -getting the ball going 2 stars
