| - Finally, after months of hearing people rave about this place and it constantly popping up on Yelp with fantastic reviews, I went to the Cornish Pasty for lunch with a coworker.
The whole time I felt so confused by the good reviews. The service was terrible- they acted like we should have known to seat ourselves and weren't friendly or helpful, but doing the bare minimum assuming we'd been there before.
I'd never had a pasty before, and I was not impressed. I got the philly cheesesteak which the waiter informed was nothing like an actual philly cheesesteak. As far as my experience goes, they include steak, cheese, mushrooms, peppers- all of which were also in the pasty. The difference was, this steak was chewy and flavorless, I didn't taste any cheese, and there were more green peppers than any other ingredient. The pastry part was good, but undercooked.
I was excited that they had specific sauces to pair with each pasty. The server allowed me to try both- a mustard one and a red wine one. I found both to be gross and a terrible combination with the pasty.
I just want to emphasize that I am not a picky eater and enjoy most food. I was extremely disappointed that I spent money there. Neither me nor my coworker finished our food and the waiter looked at us oddly when we didn't want to take the rest to go. No thanks. We were both totally confused by why people rave about this place. Perhaps it is the good beer they serve...
