| - Parthenon is a letdown.
It really wasn't all that good. I ordered a burger deluxe which sounds nice, but it turns out it's actually just a 14$ cheeseburger with fries, which is listed on their delivery menu for 7$. Our food was delayed, which I can forgive, but came the dishes that came to the table were sub-par. The patty of my burger was burnt.
I wanted to be reasonable and so after discussing with my boyfriend, and after he sampled my burger, we decided to bring the issue to the attention of our waitress. We hoped the situation could be resolved so we could move on with our meal. Her response was to rudely tell us that they cook their burgers on charcoal. Cooking on charcoal, she continued, implied that their burgers could only be cooked "well done". My boyfriend and I are of the opinion that what they call well done is actually burned meat.
We didn't raise any issue about it; we all know what it's like to deal with annoying customers, so we let it slide and apologized for bothering her. Nevertheless, our waitress kept being rude for the rest of our visit. Even with this episode aside we felt very unwelcomed, which is never a good thing for a restaurant. Lastly, my boyfriend, who got the breakfast combo #1, found his food passable, but nothing memorable.
We are both of the strong opinion that a lack of competition in this price segment in Nuns Island allows the Parthenon to slack off. The menu selection is very simple, dare I say unexciting. Though the food is reasonably priced compared to the other restaurants on the island, spending the extra dollars will do you much better somewhere else.
