| - My husband and I came here to have dinner and attend a performance. I ordered the Vegan Chopped Salad and the Grilled Verlasso Salmon. Husband ordered Lobster Bisque and Lake Erie Walleye. Here are our impressions:
Waiter was nice, but not particularly attentive. More on this later. I would not recommend the Vegan Chopped Salad. It is described as "romaine mix tossed with chopped cauliflower, diced cucumbers, peas, and sweet garlic vinaigrette." When it arrived, I thought I had received the wrong salad. All I saw was lettuce. I really had to dig to find a few peas, tiny bits of cucumber, and maybe a piece or two of cauliflower. The dressing was very sweet, but oddly, I only tasted it in a few bites. Could not taste any garlic. After another bite or two, I couldn't find any evidence of it. I barely ate about a quarter of what was there, because it was so disappointing. My husband's Lobster Bisque, on the other hand (which I tried), was yummy. However, he was only partially finished with it when our entrees showed up (I had long since given up on the salad). Keep in mind, nobody had checked to see how our soup and salad were. I pointed out to the food runner (not our waiter) that we still had the soup and salad on the table and had no room for the entrees (small two-top table). Perhaps I'm expecting too much, but at a restaurant with prices like these, I presume that the soup/salad plates would be cleared away before the entrees are placed. I also let the food runner know that I wasn't happy with my salad. She apologized, took it away, and left our entrees. My husband still had the bisque along with his entree. Our waiter came along soon after the entrees were delivered and I expressed to him my disappointment about the timing of the entrees and of the salad. He came back soon and told me that the salad was removed from our bill, which I very much appreciated.
My entree (salmon) was somewhat dry and overcooked. The presentation was really nice, so it could have been much better. The cauliflower puree and asparagus that came with it were quite good. My husband's entree (Walleye), was REALLY good. The potatoes that came with it were excellent, and the green beans were very good as well. I felt like he and I had very different experiences, as if, had I only ordered the right food, I would have been happier with the experience. I didn't mention my disappointment with the salmon, since it was still fairly good, even though it was a bit overcooked. When our server finally came over (he never checked to see how our meals were), he cleared my plate away and asked if he should clear my husband's plate also (husband was away from the table). His plate was clean except for the green beans, but I knew he was finished. Server made a joke about making sure he finished the green beans before taking the plate away. Haha, ok. Husband came back and ate a few more green beans and was finished. But the server never came back. His plate sat there for, easily, another half hour while we were watching the band. Server never came back, never asked if we wanted dessert or coffee, nothing. Husband finally had to flag him down to ask him to please take away the plate and bring a dessert menu.
On a side note, the ladies' room was very nice and clean.
All in all, a weird dining experience. My conclusion is, if you get the right server and order the right food, you'll really enjoy your meal. But it's a crapshoot.
