| - Oh Rampart, oh Rampart how you give me mixed feelings. The Promenade Café is a nice little spot within the Rampart where patrons can go an enjoy a meal at a decent price. Their three-course special with apptz, main course, and dessert is quite the deal; however, with that said- it has been hit or miss the two times I have been here.
The first time I went I got Poppers, a burger, and shortcake. The poppers were good, nothing to brag about though; the burger was very tasty and cooked perfectly medium as I asked; and the shortcake was good as well, again nothing to brag about it. For the price that was a decent meal and I was satisfied enough to come back.
The second time I went I got potato skins, braised lamb, and apple crumb. The potato skins were not off the chain or anything, but they were pretty good, I'll give them that. The braised lamb- OH THE BRAISED LAMB, what good things can I possibly say about this dish...hmmm... NOTHING! It was disgusting, atrocious, should have been tossed in the trash the moment it was made. It tasted like a stale 5-day old beef stew. I took two bites and didn't touch another piece of the entire dish. I was not the only one in my party who ordered this, someone else did and though the same thing I did. The apple crumb, was very tasty, it was my favorite part of the meal, so cheers to that!
Needless to say, I will be back, to try something else, because the price is right. Just no LAMB!
