| - I'm caught between a 3-4. This place was a 3.5 star experience.
You know when you go for a day trip to the States, and you're exhausted from shopping and you just want to eat at a sit-down restaurant that doesn't have golden arches (McD's, I'm talking to YOU!) You would go to somewhere like Madisons.
Casual restaurant, and all brown errythang (...as in furniture). The service is quick and the meals are well-priced for the portions!
I ordered the crab cake sandwich, which was about $15 and came with fries, garlic mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables. I had the side of garlic mashed potatoes. My friend ordered the smoked salmon sandwich with fries. Cleverly, we split our dishes so we could each sample each other's.
Huge portions. Think you're struggling to get through the main meal? Try finishing the sides as well!
First of all, I could barely fit the sandwich in my mouth! The crab cake sandwich was a little flavourless; I couldn't taste really what I was eating. Could've been fake meat for all I knew. The garlic mashed potatoes were decent. Needed a little more garlic or butter.
The smoked salmon sandwich had a wad of salmon in it. Not smokey, and pretty salty. I wolfed it down regardless.
Now let me get to the fries. If you have to choose between the 3 side options, go with the fries. I love 'slim' fries, like McDonalds style (none of this potato-wedge business). They give you a lot. And a lot of mayo and ketchup to go with it. Man, maybe I should've just ordered fries...forget the sandwich!
