I created an account so I could share the bad experience I had at Grandview Saloon. Yesterday was my wife and I's first anniversary. We decided we would go up to Mt. Washington and stare at the city while we eat/drink for our special occasion. Monday, my wife called and made reservations for Thursday at 7:30pm and requested a table by the windows. She was told that it wasn't a problem but there might be a 5-10 minute wait for a window table even with a reservation. That' was no problem.
Being the punctual person that I am, I was walking through the door at 7:30pm. Told the hostess that we were there for our reservations. This is where it gets bad. We were told that the people who had reservations at 6:30pm still haven't arrived and that we no longer have the option for a window table. She told us they were a whopping HOUR late for their reservation. She explained that the group was from Philly and got lost and stuck in traffic. Who in the hell continues to hold a reservation when the group is over an HOUR late? My wife was pretty disappointed considering we made reservations four days prior.
As for the food, it was pretty mediocre. Lets just say you're not going for the food. You're going for the view. I got the homemade crab cake dinner with a Caesar salad and steak fries. My wife got the salmon dinner with a side salad and french fries. My wife said the salmon was pretty decent. They had to send my plate back because someone plated the wrong sides with my crab cakes. For being about $30 a plate, I expected the food to be a lot better.
As stated before and by a lot of other people. Don't set your expectations high on anything other than the view. That's what you're going there for. I want to send a shout out to the group from Philly who arrived an hour late for their reservation and messing up mine.
