I got the Oriental Almond Chicken. It was very bland. The "sauce" was very soupy. Veggies were overcooked. And there were like three soggy almonds in the dish. Also a pretty small portion for the price. My fiancé got the Louisiana Shrimp Pasta. Again, small portions for the price. Shrimp was not great quality and way over cooked. The "sauce" was so runny with no flavor. Finally we hoped for redemption with dessert but were disappointed again. Bananas Foster is such a classic that shouldn't be hard to get right. Mushy bananas, cold and dry chocolate torte just did not mix well.

Upon arrival - I note there are two establishments (maybe more?) but for sure two dining options. I chose The Barn. There was a wait on arrival at 630p on a Wednesday evening. I was assigned a wait tag (mine was #49 pictured in the photos that I added). The wait was about 15-20 mins. The place is HUGE! They offer serving hours that are posted on the door. The staff greeted me and were friendly. An ample space was provided for waiting to be seated with many options to keep folks entertained by viewing the many antiques and interesting displays or by playing games and activities provided - as well as several long, benches and other seating offered for use during the wait. The food - well let's see how that goes - that will be the next part - this first part has all been just fine! And Now - the rest of the story! The food was awesome. I got baby back ribs (full rack) corn and home fries - plus chocolate cream pie (to go). I ordered unlimited soup, salad and bread bar - the chili was amazing and sweet with good meat and beans - perfect flavor and texture. The salad bar has ample selections including side salads and fruit options/fruit salad. Everything was outstanding - including the venue the atmosphere - the service/wait staff and the food was phenomenal! Come hungry - I couldn't eat it all!

Service was excellent. The waitress for our section was so…read morebusy but remained efficient with a smile! The salad bar was not really healthy as they now low fat dressing and something like craisins to add. The cornbread was amazing and the bread slices were homemade. The soup bar was not vegetarian friendly. My personal vegetable soup is much better however many people were partaking along the choices. The had chili but it would have been amazing to have a no meat option. Going on Father's day made for a longer wait, but sitting by the pond was very nice watching the fowl. The experience was great and we will return on a less busy day. The staff was friendly and the ambiance was rustic.

I ordered one piece of fish and a New York chicken rice bowl with the red sauce, but I also added a vegan white sauce since I'm dairy free. The chef even gave us a taste of his gumbo which he was selling the next day. The bowl was amazing. Everything was fresh and cooked well. I was really surprised by the size of the piece of fish which was perch as normally perch is not so large. We were joined by a group of family and friends and everyone enjoyed the food from the mac & cheese to the jerk chicken to the fried fish bowl and falafel. If I'm ever back in town, I will definitely stop by. Well, in the shop, I did a little bit of shopping as well and picked up a very cute leaf pottery. I love how it natural it looks, but then it will also match the other leaf pieces I already have. The store has a wide a food on the shelf or in the fridge section plus really pretty crochet, pottery, jewelry, and other items. The store has something for everyone. Finally, we enjoyed the coffee shop which had really delicious lemonades and a number of people in our party also had coffee drink drinks. When back in Wooster this summer for my niece's graduation, I'll be sure to stop in especially if it's a Friday or Saturday for Big D's Soul BQ.

I think Tulipan's take on the Dobos torte was probably the least authentic of the three, but it was not a bad cake. I've seen it with more layers and a caramel top. This one had four layers (still impressive and a pain in the arse to make I'm sure!) and no caramel. This bakery is very cute and the service is very friendly. My son also asked for some macarons, which he seemed to like, but he couldn't finish them because he said he was full. We were there around 12:30 PM and I think most of the items were fairly picked over in the bakery case by that time. There was an interesting raspberry thing that I wanted to try, but the person in line right before me bought the last one. The baklava looked temping too. I am pretty proud of myself for not buying too many sweets. I would return here if I were in the area and try some different items.

Everything else was downhill. It took us over an hour and a half to get served two side salads, lasagna, spicy penne. The table we were sat at was made up but not wiped. The lasagna was mush,.. the noodles were just mushy globs. Everything was so, so terrible. The penne was actually cooked correctly but it was just one note with the sauce. I am so disappointed. The poor service made it just so much worse. It was very, very loud in the back room. The ladies bathroom needed serviced. It wasn't the worst, but for the price of the food, we deserved more than a McDonald's cleanliness and paper towels in the sink and floors.
