| - Blech! Never again.
Visited ESM on a Sunday for lunch. We've dined here once before since my boyfriend won't stop raving about their unlimited salad and bread. I hated the food last time, and I hated it even more this time for lunch.
On a Sunday for lunch, the restaurant wasn't packed like our previous visit. Waiting to be seated at this restaurant would be a joke. Please do your palette a favour and turn elsewhere.
Service was fine, oddly enough we had the same server as our first visit. She was nice, with bright red hair and lots of tattoos. The only thing I found odd was she got rid of my boyfriends half-eaten caesar salad when she dropped off his pasta dish... It was clearly not finished and we assumed she'd bring back a full one since it was unlimited... Or so we thought.
A loaf of garlic toast was served after we placed our orders. Standard garlic loaf- at least it was warm.
Throughout my meal I was miserable as I knew I wouldn't like the food. At $9.99/ pasta I would expect something much better. I don't remember the name of the dish I ordered but it was unmemorable. Michelina's frozen pasta dishes are 10x better than the pasta here.
I sat there, picking out the edible things- bland, frozen chicken, mushrooms, red and green peppers. The linguini left untouched, as it was extremely soggy and drenched in their "rose" sauce which had zero flavour.
I knew what I had gotten myself into, and I thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. My advice? Stay away, buy some Classico pasta sauce and mix it with some veggies and you've got a meal 100x better than any pasta served here. Gross.
