| - We stayed at the Four Queens, and the hotel is absolutely great. However, you would be wise to eat elsewhere than the Magnolia Veranda. To start with, the hostess was rude, and looked like someone just slapped her in the face. She was grumpy, didn't smile, and acted like we were an inconvenience. Secondly, we were seated in an area where there were no windows, and is open to the casino. Because the restaurant is higher up (you walk up stairs to enter), all the cigarette smoke rises and lingers. My eyes burned the whole time, and my nose got stuffy from all the smoke. We ordered the Neptune Platter (almost $19). When the food came, it looked like it had been taken out of a frozen seafood dinner and put on the plate. The salmon was about 4 oz (at the most) with no spice or flavoring to be found. The two crab cakes were so terrible we didn't eat them. There was a skewer with about 6 shrimp, that looked at tasted like they had been frozen after being cooked, no spices, no butter, nothing. We got a little to-go dressing container with some sort of green sauce (garlic herb butter?) and another with a 1000 island type dressing. The plastic containers still had the lids on them. The baked potato (you do have a choice of baked, mashed or rice) was hard and cold. The salad before dinner was a couple leaves of iceberg, 2 grape tomatoes, and 2 cucumbers. This was the worst dinner my husband and I have ever had, the worst. I would have rather had a drive thru fish sandwich. We are never going back there.
