rev:text	I was visiting the Beech Tree with two other couples with whom we meet up with and dine at a different restaurants every few months. Personally I was underwhelmed by my experience at this restaurant. The service was outstanding with the wait staff being very attentive. They all worked together with one picking up where others couldn't get to quickly. The facilities were clean and the decor was okay. The washroom is rather inconvenient being in the basement at the far end but I'm sure most of the restaurants in the area are like that. The meal was the most disappointing part of my visit. I like a well rounded meal which I consider to be one with meat, vegetables and potatoes/rice with the option of soup or salad. There were no items on the menu I could see that were clearly discernible as standard type salads or soup. My experience with dining is that as soon as I see a lot of items on the menu with names and/or terms I'm not familiar with I'm going to be getting a "fancy" meal that's more than likely lean on substance. This visit reaffirmed that notion for me.. My inclination was to go for the hamburger platter since it was the only item that would clearly give me most of what I was looking for (plus it's hard to screw up). I resisted that nagging and persistent urge because I believe in expanding my horizon by tasting and trying new things. I asked about the Buffalo entre which I had hope was going to be a nice cut with all the trimmings but discovered that it was some sort of salad/meat combination which I felt would only be adequate if I wasn't that hungry. Typically I find those entres are usually a little too light on the meat. I decided to have the grilled steak ($24), the others had arctic char, ribs and the hamburger platter. The presentations of all of the meals was very nice. My steak was prepared exactly as I had asked (medium-rare) however it wasn't what I would consider a steak. It was sliced steak fanned out which probably would have amounted to about 4 or 5 ounces at the most. The waiter did tell me that there were two potatoes but he forgot to mention that they were about 1 inch in diameter. Vegetable portion was small. The quality of the cut of meat was my biggest issue with this meal - I was very unhappy about that considering the price. I'm not a big eater any more but having said that I still found the portion size of the meal very small. To balance the it out I had to have a desert which I don't normally do as I try to stay away from too much sugar. (The desert was delicious btw...lol.) For what it's worth, I do believe the chef did a very nice job preparing the meal. My feeling is and that their problem was simply a matter of "quality in = quality out" which may have been beyond the control of the chef. As a final note, I think it's interesting to note that the only person that commented positively on their meal was the guy who had the hamburger platter. No one else commented on their meal in any substantial way and no one asked anyone else how they like their meals either. I think we were all feeling a little underwhelmed about them.
