| - I went here for Thanksgiving with my boyfriend and his father a few days ago. I was so excited to go, considering I had heard such good things about it from customers at my work. I am so sorry to say that I was not impressed, nor satisfied with my meal at all. The service was exceptional, as we asked for a to-go box to take back a few items that were left on our plates back home to my boyfriend's mom, and our server gladly gave us one considering the "no to go boxes" signs posted on the entrance doors.
The meal started with rolls (not freshly made in house, nor where warm or hot, but no biggie here because I generally don't like rolls with my dinner)
a creamy-chicken soup with rice in it which tasted similar to chicken gravy, very rich.
and a side salad with iceberg lettuce, topped with shredded mozzarella cheese, two cherry tomatoes, and a slice of salami.
Nothing extravagant, yet nothing completely unappetizing.
Next, the meal came out with various thanksgiving sides and main courses typical of an all-American style Thanksgiving Dinner. I will describe each as follows:
Cranberry sauce: A cold, sloppy, bitter, too-sweet, mess. Stem-filled. No spices. No creativity. The most unappetizing of all side dishes. In-edible.
Yams (my favorite part of thanksgiving food!) : Sweet potatoes (I could tell were not canned, due in part that some of the larger pieces were not cooked all the way throughout the center) had an ever-so-slight coating of what tasted like watered down syrup. No cinnamon or spices, no walnuts, no brown sugar, no buttery coating, no toasted marshmallows on top...(give me SOME creativity!) There is so many yummy ways to serve up this dish. I was SO disappointed in this dish the most.
Stuffing: A pile of bready mush. Stove-top I ate for dinner a few nights prior was better. My boyfriend's father liked this dish.
Mashed potatoes and gravy: No complaints here. I can't say definitively that these weren't cooked from fresh potatoes, but it tasted fine. Extremely hard to mess up mashed potatoes. Gravy was fine. Appropriately salted and savory.
Green beans: Boiled to oblivion. Was not served hot. Completely unseasoned. mixed in were CANNED mushrooms. Was a watery, sloppy mess.
Turkey: Brined turkey meat. Was tender, but not a typical dryer roasted style turkey that I'm used to. Brined turkey meat is a personal preference. One that I personally am not fond of. Dark meat of the turkey: in-edible.
Ham: The only thing that I really kept eating in order to fill myself up. Honey glazed. My saving grace in all of this.
Roast beef: Didn't try. Boyfriend's dad said it was "gristle-y"
Pumpkin Pie for dessert: Wonderful. Tasted home-made. Flakey crust.
We reached the end of our dinner, and I didn't want to disappoint or make a big deal out of everything, so I said nothing, and I regret it. My boyfriend's check came to the table. For three of us, the bill totaled at $97 dollars. Extremely disappointing.
Will not be coming back here next year for Thanksgiving.
