| - Went on Saturday 12-12-15 at about 12:30 PM. I was expecting a dingy ol' casino diner but this place is actually nice-looking. A glance at the menu board revealed some impressive options like lobster rolls, prime rib, and succulent shrimp cocktails. Prices were not too bad and the hostess was so down to earth that we decided to throw caution to the wind and dine here despite the 2 star average.
Service was prompt and friendly and I began to wonder why all the bad reviews? They brought out my baby's fresh fruit first which, to me, is very thoughtful and understanding of the impatient nature of 1.4-year-olds. At this point I figure the place has got a bad wrap from tourists. An old couple next to us was leaving and asked if we wanted a piece of bacon that they didn't eat. LOL Waste not, want not, I suppose...but it made me laugh!
Then the food comes. I was so excited about the matzo ball soup!! First bite revealed that it is lukewarm (STRIKE 1) and the veggies are so fresh they tasted like they had *just* been chopped up and thrown in the soup.(STRIKE 2) Who likes raw soup?? Not me. I wanted hot, slow simmered, mushy veggies and hot broth to warm me up on this cold day and I was dissapointed.
The lobster roll was a disaster. The outside of it was burned (STRIKE 3) and the bread was spongey and stale like it was baked two weeks ago. (STRIKE 4) If this was baseball they woulda been out by now. I was willing to forgive all that, though, because the pieces of lobster were so big and there were entire claw pieces in it. Two bites in revealed the lobster to be hard as a rock, fishy, and littered with pieces of shell. (STRIKE 5) It was impossible to eat, and at $19 I did not feel like I should have to pay for this inedible mess, and the waitress was nice enough to take it off the bill. I've literally never had to do that before at any restaurant.
Husband's prime rib sandwich was awful...instead of big fluffy pieces of prime rib it was shaved like a philly cheese steak. You can't pick how you'd like it done and it does not come with cheese so ask for it if you want some. Curly fries and the fresh fruit were the best part of the meal. Oh and the piece of bacon that the old couple gave us was good, too.
It's a shame because this place is so cute and the menu items are very enticing but their cooks suck! If I was ever forced to come back here I would get something reaaaalllllly safe like maybe breakfast.
