Don't Go for a Special Occassion 2/14/2009

I'm sooo disappointed with my meal this evening. Normally, this place has decent Italian food, nothing spectacular but, decent. I made reservations for 4 for Valentine's Day. Had no idea they would only be serving a special valentine day, 4 course meal for dinner for $34.95/pp. That would not normally have been a problem except, we wanted Italian food. There was nothing on the menu (besides pasty risotto) that was Italian. The waiter came to our table, and only said ""Appetizer!"" Then, 'Entree!"" We ordered our meals and wine. Rolls were brought out. These were store bought rolls that had not even been warmed. They were not fresh. The butter served was teeny 'Country Crock' vials. Our $5/ 4 oz. glass wine came from bottles with screw tops. My husbands beer was served in a mug that was chipped and cut his lip. The first courses arrived.....french onion soup. The bread was not toasted, the 'barely there cheese' was not melted and the soup was just horrible. The salads arrived with no dressing. The waiter returned with a squirt bottle and said, ""Shhh....don't tell anybody I'm doing this."" He went around the the table and proceeded to squirt our salad plates. Our entrees came. 2 of us ordered the beef tenderloin, medium well. One came well done, the other came medium rare. The outsides of the beef were burned and the gravy tasted like the powdered brown gravy that you get at the grocery store. All of our risottos tasted like paste. The only redeeming ingredient on the plate was the fresh vegetables. Dessert arrived. Crepes filled with ice cream and berries. The crepes were thick and doughy....the blueberries were the teeny canned type. The sauce, I believe, was microwaved raspberry or strawberry preserves. Pros: Good lasagna during the week Cons: Shouldn't stray from the regular menu more
