| - I usually stay away from chain restaurants and now I remember the reason why. Food was underwhelming and they're overpriced. I went there on a Saturday night with the hubby at 5:00 and the only good thing about the experience was that we got seated right away. One lady said she was going to be our server, took our drink orders, and we never saw her again. Then as we were looking lost, another server came up and asked if she could take our order. Anyway, between the 2 of us, we ordered the margarita pizza and seafood pasta (regular size). Since we were sharing the pasta, they plated it separately for us - which was nice. While the pasta tasted quite fresh (they're made in-house), there were a few mussels and not much else. Think there was one shrimp and one scallop on my plate. When our pasta dishes arrived, they asked if we wanted fresh parmesan and pepper (of course!), then we had to wait for another server to come to our table with those items. The pizza was stone baked and came in an oblong shape with a pair of scissors. Since it was the margarita pizza, you can really taste the fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce and fresh basil. To finish off the meal, we ordered the cheesecake. I definitely remembered the cheesecake to be way better than it actually was. There was a dollop of something on top which taste like a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream that had melted and was re-frozen. Actually, the entire cheesecake tasted like that - that it had melted somewhat and a film had formed on the outside. All in all, that experience left a sour taste in my mouth and it's safe to say that I won't be back to Scaddabush any time soon.
