| - Its really sad to see that this restaurant is failing miserable considering all the recent bad times it has gone through (with the devastation of the Carpenter 1 fire then flooding from all the rain during our monsoon).
I suggested this place for a group of 11 hikers today and not only am I embarrassed that it was my choice, but I'm literately sick to my stomach and have a metal taste in my mouth from the fish & chips I had. Trust me, I don't write reviews (I don't have time to) and I should have trusted my instincts to NOT eat the food (I usually do trust my instincts, I've watched "Restaurant Impossible" way too many times!!)
My fish & chips consisted of realllllly salty fries, mushy tarter sauce and one large piece of fish...wth?? I've never seen just one large piece of fish when ordering fish & chips. But I was starving after doing a snowshoe hike and sometimes when you're hungry, you'll eat anything, then pay the price later lol. The fish was obviously frozen and sort of gray looking, dipped in batter, and separated from the fish altogether...ick in hindsight about sums it up.
After waiting 40 minutes for a table, why I'm not sure, our server was sure to tell us that putting our 11 orders on separate checks vs. one check was going to take A LOT longer to get our food AND our checks. Why couldn't he put our food order in to the cooks on ONE order and figure out the check later?? Sure enough, what took longer was the food getting to our table. It appeared, that the kitchen had the orders done in a timely matter but the food sat and was served cold to everyone at our table. The server kindly explained that what took longer was HIM entering the orders. Then he didn't remember what anyone ordered. Then he brought soy sauce instead of balsomic. Not to mention half the table was done eating by the time the other half got their food. And Kevin was probably their finest server on staff.
As if the food and server wasn't bad enough, the place is honestly a dump. The old, worn and wrinkled carpet is taped to the baseboards with duck tape and littered with food. The chair cushions are held on with velcro, outdated and dirty. Everything thing in this place is musty, worn out, outdated, dirty and dingy. Not to mention beat up and unappealing.
Again its very sad to see but understandable in a depressed state of operation. I predict it will be shut down by either the health department or due to financial reasons.
Don't waste your money here, go to the fun-crowded-country-lodge at the top of the hill instead. I will NEVER go here again!!
