| - Restaurant review
It finally happened, I found a restaurant that lost all of the stars as I slowly went through my meal. I really should have read the negative reviews and let me tell you my experience.
5 stars: Dinner out on a Friday night with a restaurant with plenty of parking
4 stars: Interesting decor, it has a nice classic upscale restaurant feel but the random section blocked off for video game poker, the random light fixtures, and the mall food court tables sort of conflict with the feel of the restaurant
3 stars: Menu items are expensive and not very exciting or imaginative. 10 dollar for a shrimp cake appetizer that was basically 3 balls of fried dough with shrimp and a side salad. 18 dollars for braised beef with mash potatoes. Very salty and oily. The food itself was not spectacular, but very pedestrian.
2 stars: I'll ignore the fact that the servers hand was dipped into the gravy of my dish because it tipped to the side, but our waiter only came to take our order and give us the receipt. Not once did he stop by to say how was the meal, not once did he refill my empty glass until I asked him to when he gave me the check, not once did he even say thank you for coming
1 star: In summary after dinner I felt that I could have done a lot better for dinner tonight. You can make up your mind, but if I am paying 50+ dollars for dinner I expect something better or even have better service. It almost felt like we were strangers walking in and out....
Pros: None
Cons: Poor customer service, very salty food, way overpriced
Hidden deals:
Early bird special for 12 dollars, soup or salad and a selection from 3 entree. Mon thru thursday 5-6 pm
Health code rating: C. The finger that touched by gravy when bringing out my dish did not help. http://champaign.il.gegov.com/champaign/estab.cfm?facilityID=1220
