| - Take away the location, the view and the novelty of The Park, and all you are left with is an overpriced meal. I'll be honest, I had great hopes and expectations for this place, but my experience really took a turn to negative town, and then sped down that road, from the very beginning. Wanna hear more? Read on...
We got to the restaurant and the greeting was not much different than that I get at McDonalds. It was literally a "NEXT" cattle call to get to register. And that is when the fun started. I ordered a chicken finger meal with a strawberry lemonade and my girlfriend ordered a cobb salad with a Chardonnay. Sadly, what they call a Chardonnay on the menu, was actually a Pino Grigio (written right on the bottle), and the poorly-trained cashier kept insisting they were the same thing. I don't blame him for the mixup, I blame management.
Anyways, we were given a pager and told to sit anywhere we wanted to and the meal would come to us. We waited for what seemed like 10 minutes to receive my lemonade and then another 7 minutes for my food. Now, I do not mind waiting for good food to be served, but I did mind waiting that long to get an overlay sweetened strawberry lemonade and food that is very comparable to Jack-in-the-Box or Popeye's chicken. The fried chicken on both plates was half seasoned, borderline burned, and on the dry, so it was nothing to write home about. In particular, the Cobb salad wasn't good nor visually appealing... tomato chucks were too big, the bacon had a stale taste and texture to it and the lettuce was straight out of a bag (I saw them refilling their salad station when we were leaving).
Like i said earlier, I really wanted the experience to be good. So, to make sure I left no proverbial stone unturned, I also ordered their Mac and Cheese which truly looked scrumptious. Unfortunately, that was yet another let down. They serve their Mac and Cheese in a cast iron skillet...but that is only for show. I thought they baked the dish in the oven (in the cast iron skillet) to melt the cheese, but they do not. In fact, the 'cheese' was gritty (a sure sign it was made with powered cheese), a bit on the cold side and under seasoned... not good.
Lastly, the appearance of the staff for it being such a new restaurant, left much to be desired. Uniforms are disheveled, and the staff is comprised of a bunch of teenagers who seem to be running the place. Want some delicious fried chicken? Keep walking because you will not find it here.
