| - My mother and I made reservations for Don Vito's Christmas Dinner. We went for the special Christmas menu and it was honestly the WORST dinning experience of my life. I have never left a bad review for a restaurant before, so this is saying A LOT.
I'd like to start out by saying that the service was fantastic, friendly and quick. Everything else was disgusting.
The wine they brought me was in a dirty, sticky, cloudy, finger printed glass. Bad way to start out but they were busy so I figured it was an oversight.
The appetizer Caesar salad was "OK" but way over dressed and not very fresh. My mom ordered the eggplant & brie soup to start and it was actually pretty tasty.
The main problem was the entree.
We both ordered the grilled Alaskan halibut with king crab. It was described on the menu as being served with "saffron dill sauce, cranberry & pine nut rice with artichokes and sautéed baby spinach." All for $37.
To begin, my mothers wasn't even served with the king crab. The sauce had no dill, the artichokes were canned and the rice was just pain pilaf. Again, it all tasted "OK", albeit bland.
The WORST part was the fish. IT was so DISGUSTING. It was so tough and over cooked that it was inedible. We would have needed a steak knife to cut it. I have literally NEVER had a worse piece of fish in my life. Neither of us could eat it.
Again, I have never left a bad review for a restaurant because I know it is not easy to run a restaurant and mistakes happen. However, I would have to say that this was the worst meal of my life... and it was on Christmas.
