| - White Oaks provided the very worst dining experience I've ever encountered in my entire life, without exaggeration.
I can almost guarantee Soviet political prisoners in the gulag had a better tasting meal than the unadulterated high-class slop that White Oaks passes off as food.
Let's begin:
Not up for a drink, I ordered a Coke...umm....noooo...Pepsi? Noooo.... This high class dump won't even shell out the cash for a well known cola.... They gave me a generic cola (and didn't even tell me)!
First, their menu was sparse, not that it should look like "The Cheesecake Factory" but they didn't provide enough variety of the basic offerings. Second, the menu was as if we were in the frozen tundra of Alaska! Most restaurants take off the heavier items for the Spring/Summer, they still had duck, Beef Wellington, pork chops etc. on there, which would have been fine if they had a greater offering of fish, or lighter pastas...they did not.
As an appetizer we had the brie in puff pastry. The puff pastry was hard, there was not enough honey or walnuts etc... to really taste it, just enough to know more should be there. The way in which it was served was odd... to get a bite of pastry and brie was a juggling act in and of itself!
For dinner, I had the Beef Wellington. It was tasteless, except for the sauce. The sauce was sooo salty that no other flavors came through. The pastry on the beef was equally tasteless. The ingredients did not complement each other.
The twice baked potato was as dry as a Mitch Hedberg comedy sketch. Seriously?? Even 10,000 chain restaurants don't screw that one up!
My mom, who's wedding anniversary we were celebrating (thank God their marriage is going better than the celebratory meal!), had the signature duck dish (in June). What looked to be tasty was only memorialized in the diner's mind by a reduction sauce or caramelized sauce that was 100% burnt! It was just awful.
The service was equally poor. The server acted as if she couldn't care less, was not engaging, barely pleasant, and hardly acceptable. They screwed up the duck order and gave mom a potato instead of the rice that should have been served. Rather than apologizing and taking the entire entree back, they just threw a side of rice on the table which hardly looked seasoned and there was no presentation to it at all...no garnish.
These people should not be in business. Mind you, the average price of their entree is about $30 (not a la carte). We couldn't wait to get out of there. Normally I would complain, but everything was just so awful, it was clear these people don't know a thing about food, service, or presentation.
The atmosphere was depressing. It was like "The Regal Beagle" in Three's Company....you remember....the sit-com from THE SEVENTIES!!!!!
Go to Longhorn Steakhouse instead. You'll get a better meal there, or for that matter, the steak taco at Taco Bell.
