| - Can't believe I forgot to write a review about the first time I visited this place (a yr ago) , back then it would've received a 4 1/2 star review. My only complaints being that I was seated directly next to a man who was signing & playing music. Although I enjoyed his performance, it felt like the entire restaurant was watching me eat, I couldn't hear my boyfriend talk and it was super cold as the table was directly behind the hostess stand. However, we returned tonight and I must say that I am extremely disappointed & probably will wait another year to see if they can get back on their culinary feet.
I ordered their french dip but was so grossed out by the amount of fat that was still on the meat that I didn't even try it. It seriously looked like someone sneezed on my food. The sweet pot. fries that came with it had a ridiculous amount of salt on them but still tasted great. That is until you got past the few that where on the very top, then that unwelcoming frozen taste occurred and I didn't even eat half the bag.
I also ordered the yucca fries to share with my husband, we were really excited to see them on the menu as yucca chips are a personal fav. Again, seriously disappointed! The fries were way too big and not fully cooked. I thought dipping them in the sauce that accessorized them would help but it only made things worse. It was some mixture of peppers...way too over powering! My husband being the bottomless pit that he is didn't even eat more than one. We then tried the artichoke/garlic dip with pita; it had a good texture & presentation but that's about it. It was cold, bland, and boring. Half the plate was cold pita triangles and nacho chips, you couldn't taste the garlic in the dip at all... I was even embarrassed at the appearance of my drink (some German Riesling, not very good) because the chips & fries were so greasy that all you could see was fingerprints all over my glass.
But I will admit, I believe it was two members of management or possibly the owners visited our tables to see how we were enjoying out meal. They we both so soothing and polite that I didn't have the heart to tell them I hated the food :(
