There have only been 2 occasions in my life that I have been angered by a restaruant, and this is one of them.
NOTHING WAS FRESH. NOTHING.
This is the $90 dinner for 2:
We chose the Fiesta Fondue: comes with a handful of tostitos (yes, chips from a bag) and chopped up squishy white bread that you could buy at a gas station.1 dixie cup sized container of chopped up carrots, celery and cauliflower, and a dixie cup of diced apples.
For the salad course we chose the ""california"" salad. I have waited tables for 10+ years from places like Perkins all the way up to Nobu in NYC, and I know a pre-made and saran wrapped plate of salad when I see/taste it. The lettuce was BROWN and the whole thing was a soggy mess and had obviously been made hours before and stowed in a fridge. The dressing was familiar, as immediately I could tell it was Kraft raspberry dressing. What a huge disappointment.
Main Course: one medium sized plate of DEFROSTED raw meat that you are supposed to dip in this hot mess of liquid that tasted like straight up vinegar. Plus, how safe is it to serve up a plate of raw meat?
my dining partner ordered ""the vegetarian"" and was so upset when she got a medium sized plate of defrosted vegetables, which included 5 small cubes of defrosted tofu and quarter sized peices of soggy defrosted ravioli. It's really obvious when tofu has been frozen and defrosted because it changes to a spongy texture, and this stuff was oozing water. I tasted it and one of the peices of defrosted eggplant and had to spitit out it was so disgusing. This ""entree"" was $22. yes, $22 for a plate of chopped up vegetables.
The dessert was PASSABLE, but only for a place like the olive garden or a perkins. We were told it would be enough to share for 3, but was only about enough for 2 people if they really didn't like sweets. We did ask for more and were given an extra side dish of stuff to dip, but for this kind of money one would expect a lot more.
I have never been so unhappy in my life upon leaving a restaruant. It's one thing to eat really lousy food, but another thing entirely when that really lousy food costs you over $200.
Pros: NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
Cons: everything. I don't even know where to begin.
