I had heard so much about this restaurant from a golfing buddy on my last visit, and wanted to include it in on this short trip back. We met with the couple, and walked from the parking lot behind the restaurant. As we passed by the back door, there appeared to be a meeting of the staff by the dumpster cooks and waitress alike. Cigarettes in hand, and not a care in the world, as we passed by. I could only hope they washed up! The other couple we were with seemed embarrassed, however we had a reservation. This was early seating, as we had a show to attend, and wanted to eat quickly. Our server finally showed up from her 'meeting', and went into what can only be considered a dissertation about where the food was procured. We ordered a cheese plate for the 4 of us, the cheese seemed old around the corners, and this is not the casing I am speaking of. The salads were alright, but lacked any sort of imagination, as the ladies were not impressed. Our dinners were served, finally. I can tell you that there was no innovation in these as well. Chicken with bacon wrapped around it, with the worst tasting risotto. My overcooked $30 steak. The rubbery shrimp with yet another horrible squash risotto. The fettucini, which was the blandest of them all, was supposed to be the vegetarian dish for my wife. It turned into a contest of who had the worst entree, and I won. Needless to say, we skipped another presentation of how the dessert is made 'in house', and got the check. I felt bad as my friend paid the bill, but he felt obligated since this place was his suggestion.\r
