| - I think I have woosah'ed enough over the past few days that I can write a relatively (that's subjective) coherent review of this place.
I don't think I have been to Trio since it first opened many years ago (mid 90's?). From my memory, it is still decorated pretty much the same based on the low benches at the pizza bar that are teal. But that's fine - as long as the seats are comfy, I don't care what color they are. I was greeted by a friendly hostess and seated at a comfy booth. Most of the other diners were 50+, again, nothing wrong with that, but on a Monday evening, it was an older crowd. My waitress was friendly enough but I was waiting on her quite a bit. I was afraid to drink all of my water, as I didn't think I would be getting a refill. I was not a fan of the service, I was in there for over an hour and all I ordered was a sandwich and a piece of pie. But slowness isn't the worst of the waitress traits (I will get to that...)
The food:
Roasted Beef Tenderloin sandwich with fries ($10) - (pictured) The first bite was delicious with a bite of soft bread, grilled onions, crispy onions, pepper jack cheese, herbed mayo and tender, well-flavored beef. The second bite was stringy steak. The third bite the meat was a little tougher. Overall it wasn't a bad sandwich at all. Pretty well balanced, although maybe a little spicier than I would have liked for a tenderloin sandwich. The fries were fine, standard fries, nothing special, and served with a tiny cup of ketchup that was enough for exactly half of the fries. Had I seen my waitress before I was almost done eating, I would have asked for more. 3/5
Chocolate Silk Pie ($4) - The description said it was a creamy white and dark chocolate mousse on Oreo cookie crust. Drizzled with chocolate and I think raspberry sauce, along with some fresh strawberry slices scattered about, it was mostly frozen. It reminded me of a Carvel ice cream cake. It wasn't bad, well-presented, but wasn't what I was expecting. 2.5/5
Nothing was bad, but nothing was spectacular, however everything seemed to be reasonably priced and included crab cakes and scallops, which my mother loves, so I would have made a return trip toting her along. Until...
I was seated just on the other side of the pizza bar and heard a waitress tell an offensive joke to the pizza chef. I have a mouth like a sailor, and I am pretty hard to offend, but her "joke" turned my stomach. And this was not a teenager, this was a girl who was easily in her mid to late 20's and should have more class and better home training than to repeat something so tasteless - it wasn't funny, it was ignorant, but when you are on company time it is a negative reflection of not only you, but your employer. If you are going to act like trash, at least lower your voice or do it off of the floor. I asked to speak to the manager, who did apologize and acted as if she would at least speak to the woman. I was disgusted.
Never again.
