Twilight Zone 12/17/2005

I received a gift certificate that I believe was a 're-gift' as it was set to expire one month from the time I received it. From the time we sat down, my wife and I could not believe this dining nightmare. My wife asked what syrups were available for a latte and the server said that they had grenadine or pineapple juice. My cream of broccoli soup tasted like canned concentrate cut with water. The dinner salad was a small mound of romaine lettuce with some sort of red kidney bean on the side. My sandwich came with what appeared to have once been fries, but as it took the cook a couple of times to prepare my (my wife could see the open kitchen and saw him remove my meal from the window) I believe that they had refried the fries, so the resulting greasy mound of clumped potatoes was inedible. My wife's second choice (we were told that they were out of pizza crusts) was a seafood risotto. The Rice-a-roni they were trying to pass off as risotto was a joke. When we finally did mention our dissapointment to our server, she had to go outside to the salon next door to find the manager/owner or whoever she was. We waited a few minutes to see what would be said, but finally just left our gift certificate on the table and walked out. Between us, we have over 30 years in and are not overly critical or chronic complainers, as we have both dealt with that type, but what a joke of a restaurant. We came home and enjoyed a frozen pizza. It's too bad I have to give even one star, as that was not even earned. But at least that explains the re-gift. more
