| - Okay, here is the difference, I am old-school, so I tend to think of the way things used to be. But even taking that into consideration, the last two times I have been here sucked, and it is absolutely the last time I am going. Even if it is free for me.
This used to be a great place, you would go in, sit down and get a bowl full of olives, peppers, celery, carrots and green onions. They would also bring out the bread, which was always wonderful. For dinner, we would have our entree as well as soup or salad, vegetables, baked potato or mashed or rice, and the price was fair.
Fast forward to last night. I took my 90 year old mom there. The TV's in the room are very distracting. They are large, hanging from the walls and show ariel views of different exotic locales. The ariel views caused me to have motion sickness, and I tried hard not to look, but they are everywhere.
The wait-staff brought a basket of "bread" two little rolls and some kind of horrible tasting cracker things. Let me tell you, I am a human garbage can, and I will eat practically anything within reason, but I couldn't stomach the taste of these really disgusting crackers.
I ordered the small portion of prime rib. It was the one saving grace, but I would not have paid over 20.00 for it. It was flavorful and I liked the spices on the crusty part. I did have to take off a HUGE chunk of fat, so it wasn't as big as I thought it would be. There was no vegetable, no salad, no nothing, everything was a la carte. I really didn't want to get a small portion of mushrooms or spinach for an extra $5.00 (although we did have a comp).
Now for the bad part, my Mom ordered the Shrimp Scampi. I understand the concept of Al Dente pasta, heck, I even cook my own pasta Al Dente, but this was WAY underdone. The shrimps were horrid. She couldn't eat any of her dinner, and although she wanted to share it with me, I tasted it, and was shocked at how horrible it was. I shared a bit of my prime rib with her.
We have been to the coffee shop a few times in the past, and I know for a fact that the food comes from the exact same kitchen, so I don't know how they can justify the price difference.
The waiter didn't even ask my mom if she wanted something else, even though we told him it was not edible.
I would not recommend this place at all, and all I can say is a little relish tray or a small baked potato goes a long way, but maybe those things are just a part of the past in restaurants, I don't know.
