This is my second visit to this restaurant. I was there last fall and had a great experience with a few friends at the outdoor bar on the lower level. We were there for beers and light dinner. The shutters were rolled up, perfect service, perfect weather. This time around, not so much...
My boyfriend and I dined in the second level dining area, next to a huge bay window over-looking the marina and lake. The view was spectacular. However, the service was below mediocre...our server was pregnant, maybe having a bad day, maybe just a bad attitude overall, not sure. Also got to over-hear a lot of the servers personal drama about dating and baby-daddys. (Nobody wants to hear that crap when dining out!!!) No ambiance to the place! So, all that combined that is Huge turn-off #1.
The food arrived fairly quickly. We started with the spinach artichoke dip and corn chips, which was very tasty, with nice presentation. Our meals came almost 5 minutes later, and we didn't get to finish the appetizer. I ordered the Lake Erie Perch (half) with the garlic parmesan fries. It was excellent, though Huge turn-off #2 was that is was served with some generic off-brand packaged tartar sauce! (C'mon guys...put a little effort into making a house tartar sauce and house salad dressings!!!) Same goes for the Steakhouse salad. The presentation was stunning, but came with a huge wonking pack of some generic off-brand Blue cheese dressing! That, in itself, is the deal breaker for me. If I do ever return to this restaurant, it will be to the outdoor bar on the lower level, only. The rest is over-rated.
