| - I went to a wedding reception here and I'm still trying to wrap my brain around going to a celebration across from a flip-flop store, but I'll just stick to reviewing the food.
Champagne was flowing, so that's always a good thing. I can forgive a lot if I'm drinking the bubbly.
The starter was a margherita pizza. It was kind of meh, but not offensive.
Next up was a salad which was very good. It was composed of arugula, radicchio and some other greens. It was peppery, had a nice bite to it, and the perfect amount of dressing.
I wish I'd stopped after the salad and the champagne but unfortunately the main course was yet to be served. We had a choice of salmon or chicken marsala and since I'm not a salmon lover, I chose the chicken.
I'll preface this by saying that I make an excellent chicken marsala, but I tried to keep an open mind. The sauce contained no discernible mushrooms. Aren't mushrooms a main component of this dish? And the sauce was black. Not brown, not dark brown, but black. It tasted like that horrible "Kitchen Bouquet" seasoning that bad cooks use. On the side were overcooked, greasy vegetables.
I only had 2 bites and decided to cut my losses, down more champagne and focus on the joy of the occasion and not the food.
