| - It was hard to decide on a star rating. This restaurant is located less than a mile from where I've been going to the doctor for a broken arm. So we jumped at the chance to try them for lunch. We went two times, and I am unsure we will return. But why not give it a third try to match the three stars I gave?
Our first meal there we shared a fresh pear and gargonzola arugula salad. It was refreshing, well seasoned and while a bit heavily dressed for my taste, the dressing was not overwhelming. I had chicken picotta, which was delectable, he had the quite reasonably priced filet mignon ($12) which was sizable and perfectly cooked. Sounds great, right?
But the following week I went back to the doctor and we had our second LockKeepers meal.
Holy canoli, Italian-cravers. I ordered a side of steamed brocolli in exchange for the house salad...it was cooked to smithereens. I put my fork in and the majority of the floret fell to the plate in clumps. I forced myself to eat it because brocolli has calcium and calcium helps bones. I expect the veggies in federal prisons are more delicious. Then I made a hearstaggering choice between lasagne and bolognese. Both are among my favorite foods. I chose WRONG!! I went with lasagne and it was basically a bowl of sauce with some meat swimming in it and one globinous piece of cheese. He got crabcakes==it was the bad kind of crab, not the lump meat and he said it tasted fishy and gross.
So, one five star meal, followed by a one star, 3 stars for now. I may have a third just to see, out of sheer curiosity in the mathematics alone.
