| - The food and service that the GF and I received here makes me cringe as I am writing this review. We asked to be seated outside because it was such a nice night out. That was the first big mistake. After being seated, I noticed that there was only one server working the entire outside area. There were at least six or seven tables occupied. She gave us water and came back fifteen later. We decided to order the fried mac and cheese, the pot pie, mashed potatoes, and creamed corn.
Food took an extremely long time to make its way to our table. The mac and cheese came out first. It was crispy on the outside, and soft and gooey inside. This seemed like a fantastic preview of the quality of food that was to come. However, the mac and cheese would be the only part of the meal. The pot pie, mashed potatoes, and creamed corn came out next. The pot pie was served in an actual pot, with the lavish pastry puff on top. The pastry was good, but the inside was disappointing. For the record, expect tomato soup inside the pot pie because that was exactly what it looked/tasted like. We did not get bowls to share the pot pie. Nor did we get any spoons for the two sides.
It took a long time for the server to check up on us so the GF walked up to her and asked her. She said that she was busy taking orders with her current table... After a while, she made her way to our table and asked us what we wanted. We asked for bowls and spoons. I am going to assume no one has ever asked her about bowls because she was beyond puzzled. It took her awhile to understand what we were talking about. She said she did not have any bowls, but would get some spoons. She again, took her time bringing the spoons to our table. As for our sides, the mashed potatoes were bland. The creamed corn was also bland.For dessert, we had the bread pudding. It was very tasty, and quite the presentation.
It makes me sad knowing that the appetizer and dessert were better than the main course and sides. I really expected more from this place. In all honesty, I don't blame the server. Lack of competence starts from the top down. Management is at fault here. They need to hire more workers, and check quality of food being brought out.
Bowls are necessary for the pot pie. One probably should't finish the entire thing by his/herself. Plates are not ideal in sharing the pot pie because of the soup inside. Time for this place to invest a few dollars and get more dinnerware.
What a shame.
