I'm trying not to be the proverbial "food bitch" but I have to get tonight's dining experience at Nighttown" off my chest. I have been going to this restaurant as far back as it's infancy in 1964; so, I've witnessed a lot more good than bad. Tonight was possibly the tenth time I have really taken exception to food preparation and quality, and one of several disappointing times that a simple (yikes!) $14.00 hamburger was not prepared close to what was requested. I asked for "medium rare-emphasis on the rare" and was delivered well done and dry as a bone. The accompanying fries were a BLAND, tasteless version of the machine extruded kind, with nary a smidgen of salt. My companion ordered his burger "medium" and it was closer to what he requested, but nothing great and definitely not the caliber of a 14.00 burger. The rest of our meals consisted of two cranberry juices and a dessert of disappointing carrot cake with an unlikely salty caramel drizzle over cream cheese icing. This travesty merited a bill of 52.00, to which I added a 10.00 tip. Nighttown's kitchen should make some kind of effort to get its act together. I will seriously resist going back!
