| - I wasn't entirely impressed with Shooters. I really had no idea what to expect when coming here, so don't make fun of me for being a tad bit offended by the hostess and servers' booty shorts and sneakers. And don't make fun of me for hating the layout of the place and feeling like we were in a deserted corner.
We came here with a party of something like 10 people. I only remember what my end of the table got, thus I only remember three dishes...and I only ate one of them, so there's that. We ordered beers and the three of us at this particular end of the table all got Great Lakes Dortmunders. The first two that came out for the boys were covered in a massive blanket of foam. We ended up with a designated "foam plate" onto which the ice-creamy foam was scooped and abandoned. My beer came out alright, not an immense amount of foam, so maybe the extra foamies were a fluke. Who knows. We'll probably never know.
Unfortunately, we were here well past dusk, so we didn't get a very good view of anything and the temperature had dropped significantly, so we couldn't get a quick visit on the deck either, which I would have liked. As we waited for our food, everyone kept commenting that it would turn into a "club" at 9 or 10. That never happened and I think I'm thankful for that...
The food was impressive from what I heard. My summer salad was tasty and I ate every bit of it. The strawberries and cherries were perfect and the spinach was crunchy, so I couldn't complain. Even the garlicky-baguette-bread that came with it was pretty good. The rest of the food looked pretty delicious, though the prices seemed out there for what was served. I hear that's because of the view that we missed out on...? I did have a couple of fries which were delicious enough for me to consider coming back for more, but it's just not convenient or worth it to me.
I wish the flats were still thriving, but that's just not the case. And with a place like Shooters being one of the "bigger" attractions, the future for the flats doesn't seem so bright either.
