| - If the management and owner aren't embarrassed by what they're serving for Mothers Day today they should be. I'm embarrassed for them.
Today my wife and kids took my parents out for brunch. The buffet was $30 a person which I'm very happy to pay for a good buffet, but this was pathetic.
That $30 a head got us salad with one dressing option, a plate of rolls straight from the grocery store, burnt pancakes, raw on the inside potatoes, oily greasy mixed vegetables, lamb pasta that was reheated and burned beyond recognition, and store bought sliced ham drowning in "marinade". Dessert options ranged from half a sugar cookie with some cool whip on top to... no wait.. that was the only dessert option...
The table had a drink menu which featured Bloody Mary's, but the mix option I ordered? They were out of that. The two garnishes I selected off the menu? Out of those too. I might understand running out of menu items at noon if they were busy, but I counted about ten tables, maybe a quarter of the restaurant.
The last thing that just made me lose all faith: this is easily the biggest, nicest, most beautifully decorated restaurant in downtown willoughby, so why are all the servers dressed in cavs tshirts and yoga pants like we're at some scuzzy sports bar? Am I at a nice restaurant with my mother for mothers day or am I watching the game at Paninis? I honestly can't tell.
