Before I get into my review I just want to say that Great Lakes has the absolute best beer ever! Saying that, I dont live in Cleveland and always make a stop to Great Lakes when in town. This last time I was very let down. They were having their "" End of Prohibition "" party. I figured we would have to wait but we were seated right away. I had a Dortmunder and my boyfriend had an Eliot Ness. They were both delicious. We ordered the Meat and Cheese bored for an appitizer and then ordered Fish N Chips and the Pretzel Crusted Chicken. The appetizer was good minus the fact that you dont get that much for what you pay for it and we didnt even get 30 second to enjoy it before both of our entrees came out. My boyfriends Fish N Chips wetre delicious. My chicken breast was okay, but the side of mashed potates were the worst instant potatoes I ever had. Also my ""steamed veggies "" were nothing more than cold, limp, GRAY on the inside broccoli. The waitess didnt even come back until the meal was almost done, I told her I didnt like it and she brought me a side salad. She tried to charge me for the chicken plate and it was eventually taken off the bill from the manager. When you pay that much for dinner I expect fresh ingredients and the fact that instant potatoes were used just is so disapointing. Next time I come back I think I will stay at the bar, have a few drinks and then go somewhere else for dinner.
