| - I have no idea why people give this place such high praise. First, the decor is early ugly 1970s, and not in a good way. There's nothing kitch about ugly...it's just ugly. I ordered a Guinness before my meal. No glass was offered. Guinness needs to be enjoyed from a glass, thus with no glass, it was not. I ordered the French Dip and requested no onions. Unfortunately, the menu made no mention of the green peppers. It's not a Philly Steak and Cheese, it's a French Dip, which does not include green peppers. I ordered the cheesy potatoes, which also came with onions. Again, a big dislike. The soup of the day was, can you guess? French onion. What is it with onions at this place?? The waitress seemed hurried and inattentive. She drop our plates on the table and left without asking if we needed anything else. When she came back 5 minutes later to check on us, we did in fact need something else. My companion's chicken sandwich was just okay, in her words...and even though she does not mind onions, she also felt the cheesy hash browns were very heavy on the onions. The beef on the French dip was thick cut, which I do not care for. Thinly sliced is better. The sandwich roll was rather weak and was not able to handle the fatty, thick cut beef. So nothing good to say about this place; and of course when we cashed out, the hostess short-changed me $10. Nice. Needless to say, it's one and done for this "klassic".
