painfully vacant and unattractive bartender served two people who approached bar long after I had sat down and readied my drink order. we'd even made eye contact as she walked past me several times. totally baffling, offputting, and a horrible start to an experience that only got worse. after rolling my elbows in coagulated shredded cheese on the bar several times, we were finally able to flag down the barmaid to clean away the debris from the nacho orgy that had apparently gone unnoticed. were asked what we wanted to eat at least four times before ever even touching or acknowledging the menus which is annoying. once or twice I get it but four or five times within a half hour? so saw the perch dinner on the chalkboard under dinner specials and had noticed on menu so asked what made it special. answer? nothing. its really just the "featured" dish although they do thaw it overnight when its going to be on special. HA!! caesar salad arrives and is spilling over flat dinner plate so impossible to cut or toss which is desperately needed because the dressing is distributed in clumps. loved alternating b/w patches of bone dry romaine stalks and pieces slathered in dressing. but let me get to the "special" perch dinner. four pieces, two the size of steak fries and the other two gnarled little filets about the size of a salt shaker. most of it had the taste and texture of a fin that got lodged in the deep fryer. this place has completely come off the rails. wow.
