| - I don't know if it's because I had super high expectations for this place or if there actually is something a little off, but I just can't get into it. That said, I'm willing to give it another try because I want it to be awesome and feel like it is.
The first time we went was before the menu revamp and things were just OK. The entire car was full of sad looking people and we were the only people under 60, save for a family dining with their children. The atmosphere was very blase and the food was on par with that feeling. It felt like I could have had the same thing cheaper somewhere else and with more excitement. I even felt kind of bad drinking a beer with my dinner. The homemade twinkies and swiss rolls are pretty delicious, and I'm not a huge dessert person (unless it's pie), but I really liked them.
After the menu revamp, we visited the bar car, which I was most excited about. I had a dirty martini that was delicious and a fish wrap of some sort that really impressed. The problem was that I could barely see my own hand in front of my face. I'm one of those people that needs to see my food as I'm eating it, so perhaps eating in the bar car was a bad decision. I also have to note that they have these unique not crunchy pickles that aren't really my thing, but they're a curious addition to the meals.
Like I said, I know we'll be back because I really feel the potential, but it just hasn't hit its mark yet.
