| - They got me with the huge Happy Hour banner outside of the bar. Happy hour on a Saturday starting at 4pm and it was 3:56pm? Yes, please!
We sat down and waited 5 minutes but there was only a bartender for the entire bar, bar tables and lounge area. I went to the bar to get the menu and the bartender apologized but said there was a waitress for that area. We chose what we wanted and there was still no sight of our waitress, so my Hubs went to the bar to order. In that time, our waitress came back to the lounge area. My Hubs had been standing in line at the bar for 10 minutes before he got to the front of the line. When the bartender saw she had returned, he sent him away instead of just entering the order. After our waitress took our order, the drinks arrived 13 minutes after and the food another 10 minutes after that. Yes, I was so agitated at this time that I had started a draft review. Everyone who was there had drinks and there was only 2 other couples waiting to place their drinks. I'm pretty steamed at this time, BUT they could have redeemed themselves on the food!
We got the mac and cheese squares that everyone had raved about, the philly spring rolls and the kettle chip nachos. The kettle chip nachos could easily have fed a good 4 people. I liked the crunch of the chips and the cheese sauce but the short ribs on the nachos were not that great. I can't place my finger on if it wasn't salted enough but I'll give it to them...the meat was very tender. The philly spring rolls were meaty, cheesy and crunchy. Those were definitely my top choice in the 3 we ordered. The mac and cheese looked great, had a amazing breaded crunch but failed in taste. My Hubs described it as "deep fried butter noodles," which is spot on. There was no oozy cheese sauce or cheese flavor at all. I ate half a square and did not finish the rest. We ended up leaving most of that dish behind.
Might be back for the nachos & spring rolls if we are gambling in this casino again but I would definitely not purposely come here to eat. In the time we were there, we saw another group sit, wait and then give up and leave. If you must, I would advise you to sit at the bar...the bartender was a pretty fast fellow and he owned his part of the bar.
