We have visited Eat Downtown many times and have enjoyed every meal. This location left us disappointed.
We were the first customers to arrive and were seated promptly. The hostess wasn't friendly or rude, she was just doing a job.
The chicken fried steak, which is a speciality of Natalie's, was subpar. It was cold and the breading hadn't been fried entirely.
When the manager saw that we hadn't eaten it, he asked why and when we told him, he just said "oh no!" and still gave us the check for the entire meal.
It wasn't worth arguing about, he knew it wasn't good and decided to do nothing. We just won't be back.
If they aren't careful they will suffer the fate of every restaurant that was in this spot before them. People have little tolerance for high prices and mediocre food.
