We have loved the Laurel in the past but tonight they were awful on all points. Took my girlfriend for her Birthday dinner unfortunately. We were told 30-35 mins and were seated almost an hour and a half later. Rail booze old fashioned was $6.25 per. Don't mind paying for a good drink but thought that was high for a neighborhood bar. When I asked another bartender what a bourbon old fashioned cost he stated $5. The last time we were there they were $3.75 so not sure where the price list resides.....and no it was not a happy hour issue.
Hash browns were other-worldly. Like no other I've ever had and we dine out often and hash browns are a go-to for me. Our normally fab walleye were both way overcooked. Never offered the night specials while other tables were. She never stopped back after setting the plates down. The hostess did clear the salad plates and brought our check 10 mins after we finished. Never offered dessert. I will say the salad was acceptable.
I have never left such a crappy tip in life but I thought it was deserved. It was not a "it wasn't the waitress' fault" as she played a major part in the failed birthday dinner. Honestly one of the worst dining experiences ever not sure when we'll go back. Might ha try someplace new after this.
We thought maybe we peed someone off there? We went through the scenario and could not come up with anything we may have did or said-nothing. I did gp and check on our table after an hour or so???
I have heard Fitz' on the Lake and Villa Tap both have good walleye might try those next.
