| - Really was looking forward to my meal this evening but was extremely let down.....
Arrived at 6:30 promptly for our reservation, was told it would be 10 to 15 minutes, by a host that we had to find, and appeared not happy to be there.
About 10 minutes later we were seated. Not sure why we waited because there were ample tables and it appeared that they were staffed for them. However what was worse is the party that came in behind us also had a 6:30 reservation, they were seated right next to us at 7:15pm. (I would have been long gone)
I ate at the HH on Sahara when it first opened and remembered their portions were large and warned my family. They weren't large, they were huge... one entrée could easily feed a family of four.
They brought huge homemade biscuits to the table, along with honey butter and peach preserves. So not to fill up, we took a bite of the biscuits. Very tasty and with the peaches on it, tasted like a cobbler.
I ordered the warm spinach salad. The description sounded delicious. Unfortunately it was way over dressed, to the point of dressing pooling on my plate, and the dressing had maple flavoring to it.. Not a great taste to go along with tomatoes.
I also ordered the cornmeal encrusted shrimp. Presentation was nice, 3 on a skewer stuck on top of a slice of watermelon. The watermelon was the only thing good about this dish. The shrimp were overcooked, cold and the crust was hard, the texture was light crushed shells on the beach.
Other orders at the table included the Meatloaf with mashed potatoes. Great flavor to the meatloaf and gravy. But 3 thick slices of meatloaf are literally served on top of at least a pound of mashed potatoes, along with a side of carrots and a side of green beans. Took more home, than what was eaten. This is the entrée that could feed all of my family.
We also order the blue cheese burger. 2 patties with blue cheese melted in the middle. Presentation was great. Eating just half of the burger is equivalent to one large burger. I had a bite.. Blue cheese tasted great, but the patty was well done and dry. French fries were good.
I gave 2 stars because once seated our service was great! Waiter was very helpful in suggesting items on the menu. Always had our drinks filled and very friendly.
The food was not something I would crave and want to go back. Too bad, because the restaurant has great views.
