I've being going here for special occasions for 30 years. I have so many memories of eating here with my family from communions to anniversaries.
The food has always been very good. My parents, aunts and uncles have always loved this place. We recently went here for my fathers b-day and we heard that they were likely going out of business so we were expecting this to be our last time here.
I try to eat a plant based diet but made an exceptions to eat vegetarian for the occasion. The last time I was here, it was obvious the chef was annoyed with me for trying to avoid animal products.
I realized that my family has came here as a tradition. They provide a 4 course meal and you will be here for hours.
My cousins and I hate it. I honestly don't want to spend 3-4 hours having a meal. This time along I treated my appetizer as lunch and by the time we ate our main courses, it was dinner time.
The waiter puts no effort in helping us whatsoever. I'm sure it may be difficult to gauge when everyone's ready to order, so his approach is to wait extremely long just to be sure he didn't have to make an extra trip.
Sure the food is good, but I could gotten a weeks worth of groceries for the cost of the meal. I was looking forward to the desert, cheesecake is my favorite and I figured that it was going to be worth it. It was actually the worst cheesecake I've ever had. It was the opposite of light, fluffy, creamy & flavorful. I guess I'd say it was bland with a weird consistency.
The waiter was sarcastic when my dad asked for bread and then gave our party a hard time about splitting the bill.
My mom was trying to get the chefs attention and say hi, but he was even ruder than the cook.
This place is a relic. It represents another time. I for one think it's time for a change. I had some great memories there, but none of them were a credit to service or consideration we received. read more
