Menu mispresents entrees 6/10/2010

Several friends and I went to this restaurant in MacGregor Village to kick off a member-guest golf weekend. The menu appeared to offer an interesting selection of entrees; however, apparently the food writer and food stylist (for the restaurant's web page)didn't communicate with the chef. I ordered ""Grilled Scottish ?Loch Duart? Salmon over a vine riped tomato, cucumber and fresh basil salad with a honeycup mustard vinaigrette and topped with zesty onion straws."" What came to the table was a serious mound (3-4 cups) of ""onion straws"" under a piece of salmon. A few sliced tomatoes and cucumbers were included around the bottom edge of the onion mountain. Basil was nowhere to be found. ( It looked nothing like the entree picture on the website.) When I asked the waiter about the discrepancies in my dish, he said it was a ""deconstructed salad"". He said the basil must be under the onion mountain.....gave it a serious look and couldn't find even one small chiffonade of basil. So he offered to take the salmon and put it over ""fresh greens with basil"". Brought it back...still no basil. I asked if the kitchen was out of basil and he said no he could get some for me if that's what I wanted with my salmon! The fish had been nicely cooked, unfortunately, by the time I was able to take a bite it was cold. When the dessert menu came, the waiter indicated my dessert would be ""on him"". I only wanted coffee . Besides, the most expensive dessert was only $6.95 and my entree was $26. When the bill came, there was no adjustment for the misrepresented entree, delay of my meal and resulting cold entree. The waiter was very cavalier and said he would ""let the manager know about my disappointment"" in the meal (when he came in the next day!). Pros: nice wine list Cons: Dishes not prepapred with ingredients listed on menu more
