THE ARRIVAL We…read morewalked in. Jenna saw us. And in that moment, something passed between us -- an understanding. Jenna knew. Jenna knew I was a man who would need extra napkins, and Jenna knew it before I did. Do not ask me how Jenna knew. Jenna does not explain Jenna. THE SEATING (5/5) Jenna sat us at a table. Was it a good table? Friend, every table is a good table if Jenna walks you to it. Jenna could have seated me in the dumpster and I would have said "great light back here." THE SALAD BAR (5/5, but really Jenna/5) I approached the salad bar with the confidence of a man who has approached many salad bars. But this salad bar had been touched by Jenna. The croutons were dry. The chickpeas were plentiful. There was not a single sad, weeping cucumber in the entire assembly. I looked back at Jenna. Jenna gave me a small nod. We both knew what we had done. I went back four times. Jenna did not judge me. Jenna has never judged anyone. Jenna, if you're reading this, I went back a fifth time when you were in the kitchen. I think you knew. I think you always knew. THE ENTRÉE (Jenna) Ordered a burger. Jenna said "good choice," and Jenna meant it -- I could tell, because when I asked about the fish, Jenna paused. That pause said more than any Zagat guide ever has. Jenna will not lie to you, but Jenna will let you find your own way. That's not service. That's parenting. THE REFILLS (Jenna/Jenna) My Diet Coke never once dipped below the halfway line. I tried to catch Jenna in the act. I stared at that glass. I looked away for one second -- one -- and it was full. Jenna operates outside of linear time. I don't want to alarm anyone, but I think Jenna might be the only thing holding Middletown together. THE CHECK Jenna brought the check. I did not want the check. I wanted to live at this Ruby Tuesday, in a small cot behind the salad bar, and be near Jenna. But Jenna, in Jenna's infinite wisdom, knew it was time. Jenna said "no rush." JENNA SAID NO RUSH. After everything Jenna had done, Jenna gave me time. I tipped like a man who has seen God, and God's nametag said Jenna. FINAL VERDICT * Food: Good! * Ambiance: There's a Ruby Tuesday in it * Service: JENNA * Would return: Only for Jenna * Parking: Ample, and Jenna had nothing to do with it, but I bet Jenna would if you asked Five stars. Ask for Jenna. Demand Jenna. If they say Jenna isn't working, leave. Go home. Sit in the dark. Wait for Jenna.

Arriving during lunch at a late afternoon we were immediately seated. The waitress was a little flustered and initially rushing to get our orders and appeared distracted.

When we sat down the wait person didn't acknowledge just for 10 minutes even though there was only one other table in the section. She finally reluctantly came over with a scowl on her face and asked if we wanted drinks. She later came backs and slammed down 3 waters and a coke. She never asked if we knew how the restaurant works or if we wanted hot pots. She left to stand in the back looking like she was given a life sentence in the worst prison around. Next came the tasteless unappetizing food. Everything looked over cooked or sloppy. But the worst was it was tasteless with no seasoning and the sushi was mealy and did not taste fresh. Supermarket sushi tastes better. For the price go somewhere else. Definitely delete this place from your list.

But very happy we went because the food absolutely hit the spot. A warm loaded soup for a cold wintry day and a hearty fried rice platter to warm my soul. Excellent dishes at sizable portion sizes. The bill was a bit funny with a service charge already added as a group of two diners, but this misstep can be overlooked. Definitely don't let initial impressions be the judge and stop you from trying this legit dining option of real platters and not fast food.

We went in tonight hoping for a nice dinner and somehow managed to experience just about every…read moreexample of poor service along the way. Our food came out cold. The waitress never once asked how our food was, never asked if we wanted another beverage, never asked if we wanted dessert, and when we asked for additional sauce, she acted as though we were inconveniencing her. As soon as it appeared we were finished, our plates were taken away and the check was essentially tossed onto the table. We didn't make a single complaint during the meal. Normally, I'll simply eat the bad meal, pay the bill, and make the decision to never return. No scene, no argument, no bad review. But then came the part that really surprised us. We paid our bill by card, but planned on leaving the server a cash tip, which is something I personally prefer to do because I like knowing the server receives their tip directly. Apparently, because there was no tip written on the credit card receipt, the waitress came back to our table and loudly said, "You didn't tip." In a restaurant full of people, being publicly called out about a tip was incredibly uncomfortable and embarrassing. And the irony is that we had not complained once about the cold food, the service, or anything else. Needless to say, there won't be a next time. On top of the experience, the restaurant itself felt dirty and run down, and there was a noticeable odor. The two fish tanks--without fish and apparently without much attention either--certainly didn't help. They looked and smelled like they had been forgotten about a long time ago. Maybe the food and service are better on another night, but based on our experience tonight, we won't be finding out. Sometimes the best way to lose a customer isn't one big mistake. It's a whole series of little ones--and then making sure they feel uncomfortable before they leave.

I don't know how else to say it. Some examples for your reading pleasure: The chicken had a bizarre texture that made it more like calamari. But it tasted like neither chicken or calamari. The beef was overcooked to the point of being like leather. The green beans were actually decent, but I don't go to a Chinese Buffet for green beans. And the biggest disappointment had to be the vegetable fried rice and lomein, which tasted and smelled like feet. Bad feet. Unbathed feet that have been wearing dirty socks for three days straight. The service however was fantastic. So, stick with green beans and doughnuts and maybe you'll have a better time than I did.
