Regretful & disappointing. We sacrificed & saved for a special 1st time over 50 ladies' weekend at Breezy Point looking forward to Antlers as a highlight. However 4 out of 7 meals were inedible. The tough ribs had sauce lacking flavor and 3 fettuccini alfredo meals tasted like noodles covered in half&half missing all the traditional flavors of this beloved dish. Our server did not circle back until we finally got her attention asking for parmesan as a way to doctor the meals which did not improve the taste. Very late in the dining experience the server offered to order something else but we were out of time. The server should have checked in much sooner and frequently and eventually taken the cost of these meals off our bill. The Antlers' responses to Google problem reviews shifts responsibility on customers to ask for management. I work hard for a living and recognize the majority of people working in restaurants are talented hard workers. I'm grateful. I tip well and all of my restaurant reviews are positive. When I dine out I expect and appreciate a great customer experience with great food and should not have to advocate for such. No one should have to. Even restaurant workers dine out and they deserve great food and customer service too. It is the responsibility of the serving staff to frequently circle back to check on customer experiences and remedy problems. We did not feel comfortable complaining, gave the server our feedback, and hoped the server would do more. Consider this review free coaching so the serving staff and chef do much better...
Read moreAfter being impressed by the no-frills charm of the Dockside at Breezy Point, my partner and I decided to make a reservation at Antlers. Unfortunately, the white tablecloths and golf course views can’t disguise the unseasoned, subpar food being served at this establishment.
Let’s start with the complementary bread. One of the rolls was tough and hard to cut, because it had clearly been microwaved too long when it was being warmed up. The flavor of the pumpernickel bread was pretty solid, but the texture of that one roll threw me off.
We were excited to try the bruschetta, because my partner works in the cheese industry, and we were hoping for fresh cheese and tomatoes, as well as house-made pesto. The tomatoes tasted like they were canned, the pesto tasted like pesto from a jar, and the balsamic was too sweet. The bread was soft and fresh, and it was the only good part of the dish.
My entree was the biggest disappointment of the meal. I ordered fettuccine Alfredo. The pasta was very soft and clearly over cooked. The sauce didn’t appear to be seasoned at all and only tasted like butter to me. I’m sure the cheese was there, but I couldn’t taste it.
Dining at Atlers costs a pretty penny, and the quality of the food doesn’t match the prices on the menu, or the elegance of the dining room.
The biggest redeeming factor was the service. Our server was very attentive throughout the meal. I just wish the food...
Read moreLet me start this first by saying that the whole experience wasn't terrible. Food was excellent, restaurant was nice, clean and warm but the service that was provided by Melissa B was absolutely terrible. They were not very busy sat us right away, she took our order said she'd be right back with some bread as we wait for our main course. Minutes went by and before we know it here comes our meal. Gives us our meal and we never seen her since. Never came back to see how the first few bites were or nothing. Didn't even get a water refill. While she was nowhere to be found thankfully another coworker working in the same area seen we were low on water and refilled them for us. Once she arrived to check in on us as we were done all we got was a ohh good job cleaning your plate like were some sort of toddler. Absolutely disgusted with her customer service, and will never be back. Ever....
