| - This was the worst dinner experience I have EVER had.
To be honest, I went to school for baking and pastry. I have also spent a few years as a restaurant manager. Pretty much, I know the tricks of the trade and I know how I should be treated.
When 3 waiters just walk past my boyfriend and I when we walk in and it's dead, I was nervous. He REALLY wanted to try a place with chocolate in the name, so we waited about 5 minutes to be seated
Our waitress finally comes and she's pleasant, but disinterested. We both ordered the Maple Pecan Chicken. It sounded so yummy!
It took over 20 minutes to get our food. It takes 10 minutes to make sweet potato fries from scratch. It only takes 7 minutes to cook a chicken breast. 20 minutes in a dead restaurant. is too long.
We dig in and it tastes great. My boyfriend woofs his down and he's saying something isn't right. I get to the middle of the my breast and it's cold. Not luke warm, not cool, I'm talking from the fridge cold. It's completely cooked though, so it means one thing- they cooked the breast, chilled it and reheated it. There's no need for it in when it's that slow and a thermometer would have fixed it.
When we finally get our waitress's attention, she offers to have it remade (it takes another 20 minutes). While waiting another waitress offers to get us another entree, but I declined. Then, a server comes over acting like he's a manager. He says that I will get a free dessert, but I "will pay" for my dinner. This is ungodly rude. The manager never came out.
The dessert we had were mediocre. A jobless culinary school graduate could have come up with better. The strawberry garnish was pre-cut and going bad. My boyfriend's dessert was wrong. He asked for a different ice cream and it was on his dessert. The waitress just brought him the ice cream he wanted, she didn't have the sundae remade.
Finally, the waitress told us that the manager wouldn't come to the table.She also provided incorrect change- $30 off.
To top it off? The next day I was sick. Most likely there was a bacteria in chicken from being cooked and refrigerated.
