| - Was in Pittsburgh for the weekend (10/22 & 23). Wanted to watch the Steelers game and we were already at Station Square. First, we went into Buckheads, but the menu was very limited. So, we left to walk across the bridge into downtown and find someplace else, but Hard Rock Cafe is right there so we popped in, made sure the game would be on, and got a table.
First off - our first server was really nice. Very accommodating. I was really interested in trying the Buffalo Cauliflower "wings". But, she came back and said they were out. So, I just went with a Caeser Salad with grilled Salmon. Had to send it back because the salad was way too salty. I love salt, but this was overkill. I kept the Salmon and even though I ate the whole piece of Salmon, the server took everything off of my bill. Pretty cool! Her shift was over and we got a new server. He was just as nice and accommodating as the first one. So, really, the servers were not the issue at all. I waited until the second half of the game and my niece and I decided to share the Hot Fudge Brownie. It looked so damn good on the menu. But, we were gypped. It comes in a very large glass bowl, but there was barely a scoop of ice cream, no hot fudge and an ENORMOUS amount of whipped cream. I mean, really enormous. I'm sure they did that to hide the super small amount of ice cream. And, honest to god, whipped cream is my favorite dessert, but I would have preferred the actual ice cream that should have been in the bowl. There's even a picture on this page while I'm typing this and ours looked NOTHING like what's in that picture.
Oh, and we noticed that a woman who came in about 40 minutes after we did was able to get the Buffalo Cauliflower Wings. SMH! The kitchen staff at this one is damaging their business. Now I know why it wasn't very busy.
After eating at a few local restaurants all weekend and being pleased, then settling for Hard Rock Cafe because it was right in front of us, we learned our lesson: next time, we'll stick to the plan and avoid chain restaurants like this one.
