| - Day 1 of Restaurant Week. Husband & I chose shrimp cocktails (five nice, large shrimp) and wedge salads (nobody can make mistakes on these, although the core of mine had a little rust). My husband had the pimento cheese-crusted filet with loaded baked potato, "quite enjoyable." I had the salmon with asparagus - the asparagus looked awful and tasted of burned grease and natural gas. It was limp at the tips, charred at the stems, and left dark gray, greasy residue on the plate. Beth , our server, asked whether I would like a replacement, and she did offer other sides, but I really hoped that this was just a fluke on the first serving of asparagus, so I asked for a second order of asparagus. Second serving was as bad. Worst side I've ever been presented with at a restaurant - TWICE! INEDIBLE! Salmon was alright, I think, but I had that gassy, greasy residue on my tongue from tasting that awful asparagus that interfered with the rest of the meal. For dessert, I had mousse, but it was more like ice cream. Husband had key lime pie that he said was "good." Definitely not the meal I anticipated, and if not for Beth trying to make things better, I would have dropped the rating even more.
