Worst service I've ever received. Terrible food too. I was made to wait to be seated while the hostess finished a conversation outside. The waiter that made us wait while she acknowledged we where paying customers decided he was going to bus some tables at this empty restaurant before taking our drink orders, even though he just saw the previous engagement with the hostess. He never gave us his name. He refilled our drinks once. I ordered an alcoholic drink , I would have gotten more but he never came around to check until we where done with our food.
And lets talk about the food, because so many culinary mistakes where made. Our appetizer was "Fried Pickles". How they have the temerity to call that a pickle escapes me. It was cucumber slices in brine. That does not a pickle make. It was over-salted and just awful.
The chicken Parmesan was served on a cold bed of pasta. How you screw the pooch on THAT is really just sad. Protip: You put the pasta on the plate when the chicken is done. Not before. The chicken itself was fine, but the sauce was a little salty.
The salmon was a joke. It was way overpriced for the portion. The fish was a bit rubbery, and the rice was overcooked. The saving grace of the meal was the giant squash that you get with your salmon. Instead of a decent portion of salmon, they fill the plate with a grilled squash that's been lightly salted and peppered. Somehow that was seasoned properly, so I know they have the capacity to season correctly.
Overall, I was made to feel unwelcome and I paid too much for Applebee's level of food.
The drink I had, however, was great. The bartender was on point, and she could really be doing a lot better at...
Read moreWorst food we have EVER been served in ANY restaurant. Inedible Atmosphere cute- like an old speakeasy. Tiny, 6 booths, a couple bar seats. Only 1 person working on a Saturday afternoon at 3. Made a reservation as I thought it was going to be so good. No need. She was the server, barmaid, bus person, server and cashier. The menu was not as shown on their website menu. When asked, we were told the regular menu started at 4. I said it was 3:30 and what we wanted was not on her lunch menu so we would order drinks, an appetizer and wait. The server went in the back and came out saying they would let us order off the dinner menu after all. When dinner arrived I did not even recognize what was on my plate. 2 flat noodles floating in sauce with a ton of cheese on it. I ordered lasagna. No ricotta or meat, flat as a pancake. Not wanting to upset anyone I took a bite. Gagged on it... Total salt bomb. It was crunchy with salt. It dried out my lips and throat. The other dish you may ask - rubbery chicken floating in lemon juice, oil and salt. I guess they were paying us back for asking to get the full menu. This cost us $110! + @ $20 tip. As it was my birthday, I had a Visa gift card. I was told their system could not accept it. Too old. Worst dining...
Read moreThird time to Hamilton's, really want to like place but so many problems. Went with a couple of friends, wanted to enjoy cocktails & dinner. Ordered Cocktails, appetizers, soup & entrée. Problems: Lobster bisque came first, luke warm. Then appetizers arrived, then cocktails. So much for enjoying a drink before dinner. I had specifically order my drink with no salt on the rim as I have medical issues, it came loaded with salt, I asked for a wedge of lemon, the remake tasted like the whole lemon was in it. Quail appetizer was dry, over cooked. My steak I asked for Rare was well done! The potatoes were so heavy in salt I couldn't eat them! Live music, while sounded okay & good song selections was sooooo loud you couldn't carry on a conversation, my request to lower the volume were ignored. Lastly, waited 15+ minutes for ladies room, locked, no one came out or answered knocking, employees didn't respond my request to check, finally used men's room which was disgusting with urine all over seat & floor. Disappointing, expensive evening. Need to step...
