| - It's a Wednesday night and we decided to try this place for dinner. When walking inside, we noticed that it is clean with a current decor. The hostess was friendly and offered us a seat in the bar area or dining area. We chose the dining area as it was a bit quieter and we wanted to be able to talk. The place was about 80% full, but we managed to get a booth.
After perusing the menu, we noticed the appetizers and entrees were fairly pricey and since we had never tried this place, we opted for a couple of sandwiches for our first visit. My hubby settled on the Shaved Prime Rib Sandwich with fries and I chose the Beer Battered Cod Sandwich with fries.
After we ordered it took about 20 minutes for the food to come out. At first glance, the plates looked pretty good (picture posted of the fish sandwich). However, upon further inspection, the food was lacking in a big way.
The fish on the sandwich was cooked well on the inside but the batter was far from crispy. In fact, it was down right soggy. So much so that when trying to cut through it with a fork, it seemed like rubber.
The shaved prime rib sandwich had more bread than steak. Ultimately, better than the old SteakUm's used to be, but nothing to be excited about. Hubby said it was "meh".
The fries sort of tasted like they had been reheated and there was absolutely no salt to be found on them.
Our whole meal had an overwhelming lack of flavor. Thank goodness for ketchup and tartar sauce.
The service was good and our server was attentive and polite. She refilled our drinks without being asked and brought the check in quick fashion when we were ready to leave.
The big bonus were the little bowl of mints on the way out. We won't be back.
