| - So, granted, we didn't have a lot of choices for dinner in this area on Labor Day, as our first few choices were closed, but choosing this place was a bit of a mistake.
Our server, Dominique, was GREAT, and the only reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1. The food, however, was not so great.
We started with bowls of french onion soup. Both of which were missing the promised crouton of bread under the cheese. Mentioned it to server, she apologized and brought some slices of bread to add. Soup was OK.
I ordered the Cajun shrimp and chicken over pasta with peppers, basil, and caramelized onions. It was an absolute salt bomb. Server asked how it was, and I was honest. She apologized and offered to bring me some more of the "lemon cream sauce" it was drizzled with to try to cut the salt. I'm relatively sure that it ended up just being cold sour cream with a little lemon juice. It remained ridiculously salty.
My wife ordered the Caesar salad with grilled chicken. It was served garnished with some pita triangles that she said "tasted like cold, wet dough." Salad was very overdressed and swimming in dressing, which somehow managed to not give any moisture whatsoever to what may have been the most dry chicken breast either of us had ever enxountered.
We skipped dessert/drinks.
I wasn't expecting a high-end meal. And as I said, our server was very friendly, attentive, and gamely did her best to try to fix what ended up being aggressively bad food.
