| - We (SBL & Mini Me and myself) went fancy for a staycation and decided to stay at the Westin Kierland Resort. Wile there we ate at a place called Nellie Cashman's. The place opens at 5:00 pm for dinner, we were the first ones there of course. We were seated in a very nice dining room with a great view of the golf course.
We were immediately greeted with our awesome server for the night, I am pinching myself for not remembering her name. She took our orders and told us about some items that were not on the menu for kids even. We ordered, and soon after we were given a basket of bread and... Not regular bread, but fancy bread as Mini Me said. The bread and the schmear that came with was delightful . We talked and drank and finished our bread. We waited and waited and waited some more, did I mention that we waited?
Finally, just as we were going to say something our soup and salad came. SBL ordered the beef barley soup which reminded him of his childhood days. I ordered a salad that had roasted tomatoes and cheese and had an excellent house dressing mix.
We finished our starters barely before the main course came. SBL ordered the New York strip and mashed potatoes. MM ordered a personal sausage pizza and chicken strips, and I ordered the campfire chicken which came with roasted brussel sprouts and scalloped potatoes.
After waiting a crazy long time for our food, and only being the 3rd party in there at that time now, we were disappointed that our food was cold.
We told our server our mashed potatoes, the sausage pizza and my brussels were cold and my chicken was super dry. Hugely disappointing but she was good to us and brought hot potatoes and brussels and didn't charge us for the pizza.
She took off 20% of the bill which was thoughtful.
We were just excited to try Nellie Cashman's, we had been looking forward to it; we typically don't eat that fancy so it was kind of a big deal and an even more of a let down. We were told there was a new guy in the kitchen:/
So yea, there's that.
