| - they did a lovely job remodeling this old building. beautiful fabrics, colors, etc., but what's with all the big tvs???? a supposed fine dining restaurant with 10 big tvs in a tiny little space!!! facing the bar AND dining room!!!
went to ferris, once before, when it was in cleveland and was totally unimpressed, well, they continue the tradition. it really is a restaurant designed for your grandparents and their bridge friends!!! diningroom & bar all filled with blue hairs. i think that all of our ages at our table, added up was younger than some of the patrons!!!
menu is typical old school restaurant from the 1970s. nothing truly creative here.
we had the irish style eggrolls with corned beef and sour kraut served with 1000 island dressing and wasabi mayo (what for????), the lettuce wraps, a shrimp cocktail and bruschetta. all were OK, nothing exciting.....the bruschetta would have been better if they had used ripe tomatoes instead of pink, under ripened ones.
Entrees come with a salad, with the dressing served on the side in black plastic cups (SO DAMN TACKY!!!) and a choice of side dish. we all, but one, ordered some sort of steak. all were done as ordered but, again, good but nothing great. an order of scallops was the choice of one of my guests. i got an overwhelming smell of ammonia from them and told her try a small piece first, but she said that they were OK, we'll see what happens in a few hours to her........ after dinner we all decided to share one of their self-proclaimed "fabulous" desserts. a GIANT piece of chocolate cake arrived, ICE COLD. it would have been so much better had it been allowed to come to room temp. it was hard to cut with a fork and the flavors were muted because of the chill factor!
the biggest problem here was the service. IT IS LACK-LUSTRE, UNPOLISHED AND UNINFORMED. our server told us that they didn't have drink menus, when we just ordered from one at the bar. we had to constantly ask for silverware, dishes were not cleared, the food runner was auctioning off the food to the table asking who gets what......how diner can you get....no sooner did we drop our pens, after signing the receipt, the server promptly came by and swept them away. that is just so unprofessional.
so, bottom iine, would i eat here again? NO.....would i tell others to go there? NO would i send a bus load of old people from a nursing home there? NO. i just wouldn't go back. i thought i'd try them out, again, hoping that they improved with the move, but they really are just not that great. i'm sure that a bunch of geriatrics would disagrees, but so what.
