| - After a 15 mile bike ride from Verona to Mt. Horeb, my friends and I were tired, hungry, and excited to finally have arrived for a meal at Grumpy Troll, a place we've heard so much about! The restaurant itself is very nice-clean, pretty bar...and an endearing troll obsession. Our first disappointment was that they have a pizzeria and a brewery on different floors and you CANNOT order a pizza if you're at the restaurant....I find this quite rigid and odd. What's the big deal to carry a pizza up the stairs? Oh well.
Our waitress, Dawn, was initially perfectly nice and asked us what we wanted to start with. We asked her to give us a minute because we weren't quite sure yet. After enough time to go through the menu three times and change our mind a couple of times, I finally got up to ask the hostess to find our waitress. Dawn came back and was quite the grumpy troll. I said we were ready to order both our drinks and our food, she snapped that she had a seven top whose food was ready and it was going to get cold. Err...ok lady....a quick, even insincere apology would have been fine. We don't need to know what is going on at other tables. I've been a waitress in many establishments and I know a quick apology can go a long way. As time went on she was fine and as she gave us the bill, she apologized for being slow to get our order. At that point we didn't want to hear it.
As far as the food, my salmon salad was really very good but overloaded with cranberries. I'm not a cranberry fan and therefore picked them out of my salad- there were literally 8,000 dried cranberries. Why so many? My husband was very satisfied with his burger and our friends reported that their meals left them something to be desired......everyone except my husband was still hungry when finished.
