| - Weinstein & Gavinos was a true disappointment during our lunch. Which took me by surprise, considering I've been eating there for the last ten years.
Our lunch was such a disappointment, that could easily been avoided. Did they change owners? Chefs? If they did. The poor quality showed in our meals.
The hostess, was polite but little to no enthusiasm.
Our waiter.. Poor service. He did not speak clear, was often in a rush(the restaurant had only six tables with average of 2-3 people per table. This is at 12:30pm, while the restaurant has well over 20 tables.
My steak salad was simply unacceptable! The steak was incredibly salty, over cooked, dried and tough! Did not taste fresh at all. I understand meat is not their specialty, but if you put it on your limited lunch menu. Learn how to properly cook it please!
Due to my poorly lack of taste salad, I was offer to choose something else on the menu instead. Which I did.
I choose a Caesar salad. Which I've been informed of being delicious. I guess not!
It was a simple mix of lettuce, a few overly salty croutons with two Parmesan shavings. While all this was drenched in a store bought overpowering taste of garlic salad dressing. I chose to add mozzarella Fior di latte(Fresh mozzarella) $5.00 for just two slices?!
May I add that my meal included a vegetable and barley soup. Thank you for the generous amounts of vegetables. Yet I again did not appreciate how salty it was! Salty should be used to bring out the flavour of something, not to make it taste simply like salt. Again something as simple as soup, was disappointing!
My friend's salad which was suppose to have mixed greens, oranges etc. It had very little of everything and freshness was not there at all either. Did they use a mix of greens that come in a bag already premix?! In every salad, freshness and taste is key! It simply was not there.
Yes, the cost of my meal was taken care by the restaurant. Great! Thank you. Yet, where is the apology from the waiter? Who simply took the dish away. Disappointing yet again.
Yes, the tip we left was low, when the bill was only $12.00. The waiter never said thank you or goodbye upon my friend and I leaving the restaurant. What happen to manners?
Sad that our lunch was this disappointing. Next time, I will think twice of going back.
