| - My wife and I are big foodies (me, maybe literally), so when I came across this place at Open Table, we had to try it. The wife LOVES mushrooms and it seemed like a wonderful Friday night adventure. When you walk in , it resembles what you might think after reading the reviews, sort of wine bar-ish, a little fast food-ish, interesting and makes you wonder what is coming. That's it for the positive.
We placed an extremely simple appetizer order of crab stuffed mushrooms and a nosh plate of angry shrimp. (we were warned by our waitress that the button mushrooms weren't actually as much "stuffed" as they were "topped"). We also ordered a bottle of the Pino Grigio and settled in...and in....and in... Sweet mushrooms, what the heck was taking so long?
35 minutes later, the waitress delivers out shrimp plate, but no sign of the mushrooms. No offer to refill the wine glasses and she was in such a hurry, she didn't notice that we did not have table ware with which to eat our shrimp which is drowning in sauce and is not "finger" food. So, 10 minutes later she delivers our Portabello mushroom..."oh sorry they made a portabello instead of the buttons...is that ok?" Well, "not really" we said, I am just not a fan of the thing. Oh, and can you take the shrimp back since it is now cold and we couldn't eat it due to lack of utensils. She proceeds to grab the shrimp (Oh...and the plate is SUPER HOT warning was delivered about two minutes too late for my wife) and turn about, leaving the aforementioned mutant 'shroom and it sizzling plate Before she can get away, we reiterate that we would really prefer the mushrooms that we ordered....I still don't like the "bellos" you see.
The shrimp comes back a couple of minutes later, smoking hot and rubbery as a chew toy. "Did they put that in a microwave. we wonder?" 10 more minutes, no mushrooms. Fughettaboutit and bring us our check si vouz plait. Check comes...oh and "I had them take off the mushrooms". You mean the ones we never got? "Yes". Joy joy aren't we lucky!
Manager was called and that about wraps it up. We probably won't be back...except to use the gift card he handed to us. That maybe their last chance.!
