| - Two adults and two kids walk into Claim Jumper for a birthday dinner.... (Where's the punch line?)
We were sat at a table with no share plates, but we had utensils. She delivered bread (amazing btw) and we still had no share plates. Ordered spinach dip, no share plates.
Ordered two lemon drop martinis.....(sigh) hold the lemon seeds please!!!! Yes, I am in the industry, but bar tending 101 = know how to make a martini!!!! She placed them on the table and I immediately noticed about 4 lemon seeds at the bottom of my martini, almost looking as a garnish, and one in my friends glass! I state the obvious, about both drinks, and she takes one away to get it fixed. I find it odd that she is suggesting the one drink at a time method, but then again... Maybe she didn't hear me. She brings back mine and says, "they don't strain them". lol. YOU THINK??? Then I mention the lonely seed in the other drink, again, and as she reaches for the glass... I just decided to get it out myself with the old straw technique.
On to the entrees....
I ordered the jambalaya pasta which came out looking completely different than the menu picture. It was like a soup with a ton of noodles on top. That being said, the noodles were extremely bland with no seasoning what so ever. Plain noodles. The sausage.... No flavor. So... I pretty much ate the shrimp on the plate and sent it back. My friend ordered some kind of bow tie pasta that I tasted... And although she ate it, I've had better at Olive Garden. Maybe we didn't pick the right dishes to order... Or maybe they need help on their menu.
I mentioned this was a birthday dinner. I mentioned that when I made the reservation, and the host obviously never told the server. The kids and I mentioned it was their moms birthday, and when she brought out the birthday cupcake... She didn't know who she was bringing it for. She tried to give it to the kids. Lmao
(Sigh) That is all
