| - It seems like things were amiss on the fine evening that I visited this dining establishment.
First, an empty restaurant across from the Benedum Center - right before a culinary-themed show- is probably NOT a good sign. Had I listened to my gut & not to my growling stomach, I would have walked out as soon as I walked in.
We were seated.
Then, the weirdness began.
My husband and I ordered iced teas. Behind us, the staff was talking about how we ordered iced teas.. Ok, sure, fine. This topic just kept going and going. Literally 5 minutes of the staff discussing how we ordered iced tea. I am not sure how this is news?
Then, we order the food.
Salad (greens) with a refreshing citrus dressing. Unfortunately not refreshing enough to revive the wilted salad leaves. Honestly, though, it wasn't THAT wilted. Not like my husband's salad (with Italian dressing) that he had to fervently pick at with his fork.
My husband ordered Chicken Parm. I ordered seafood tureen. First of all, I am confused. A tureen is a dish that soup or stew is served in. I assumed it was - oh... a soup or stew? It looked like a soup or stew, but when I asked for a spoon, I was handed a tiny spoon with a very long handle - and that was with MUCH hesitation. Obviously this tiny spoon was not meant for eating. It took me about 2000000000000 spoonfuls to get the job done. Not that I needed anything special.. just a normal spoon.
Why even go on? It just got worse after this.
I am hoping that this was just an off night for these guys. I will say that this place is in need of some TLC. It was quite outdated on top of the weird ambiance and sad food.
