| - Went for the first time this evening. Restaurant was fairly empty, seated quickly and we noticed a very clean and cute, decorated place. Joslyn was our server and she was pleasant and very efficient. We ordered the pot roast dinner with salad and blue cheese dressing, the smaller portion of the meatloaf, both had mashed potatoes sans gravy and I had the "Italian" green beans and partner had the corn on the cob.
Salad came and it was a great salad...fresh mixed greens with grated carrots and the dressing was wonderful. Great experience thus far. Then came dinner...the meat loaf was horrible; over cooked, dry, and just a very weird texture. The pot roast was ok...no sauce (ok I did say no gravy for the potatoes). The meat was tender but really had no flavor; I used some steak sauce to give it flavor. The mashed potatoes were great! They had red skins and were kept chunky and we really liked them. The green beans were horrible! They were not "Italian" style...they were your typical Del Monte canned green beans and they were swimming in a small little bowl with a ton of over cooked, placid looking bacon. The corn muffins that came with the salad were tasty; sweet and corn tasting.
Joslyn noticed that partner didn't eat meatloaf and asked about that...she ended up taking the entire meal off the bill. She didn't have to do that and I made sure her tip was what she would have gotten had we paid for the full meal. She did a great job and we told her we would come back and try breakfast...she raved about the pancakes so we'll be back to give them a try. Dinner? Never again, thank you.
Two stars for the salad, dressing, muffins, mashed potatoes, and server experience!
