1869 Room at The Wentworth — Restaurant in Jackson

On a positive note, the Eggplant dish was excellent and 3 different cocktails were very good. The Creme Brulee was satisfactory. The service was great and the waiting time was very good with meals promptly served. Unfortunately, their Salmon dish, which the server assured me was fresh, was horrible. I go out at least 3 times a week and I just returned a few weeks ago from Iceland and Norway, where I ate fresh (not fishy) salmon & artic char (salmon family). Additionally, I've eaten salmon for 50 years. I have only once before never finished my dinner. This salmon smelled unpleasant the minute it was placed in front of me. I gave my partner a bite first & he was quiet. He simply said let me know what you think. The "fishiness" was overpowering. I struggled to eat a third and was forcing myself until I started to gag. Additionally, the skin was flaccid, instead of crispy. Moreover, the entire construction of the plate was bad, starting with rice that was undercooked (like microwave Uncle Ben's). The radish was weirdly seasoned, the seaweed (which I normally love) was pleasantly looking but a variety not particularly tasteful and the cucumber awkwardly cut and unseasoned. When a couple sat down next to me I told them to avoid the dish. The wife commented that she normally loved Salmon Poke, but ate it last night and found it unpleasant. The wonderful waitress, Esme, gave me a free dessert. However, I feel that the mostly uneaten dish should have been removed. Look at my hundreds of reviews, I've given 1 or 2 stars just a few times. I'm only giving 2 stars because the Eggplant...

Breakfast tasted great. Issues were resolved. Very young boys on staff. Menu says a la carte omelets are served with potatoes, and I also ordered an English muffin. No potatoes were brought, but then the 14-16 year old waiter didn’t return either. He did walk around the dining room, but wouldn’t look in our direction. I asked another 14-16 year old waiter if he could get the supervisor, but he was baffled by my request. Both boys were extremely awkward, and young boys usually are. So I got her myself. She explained that the staff are supposed to tell patrons to get their own potatoes from the buffet, although it says served with potatoes. They aren’t actually served with omelets. I said, ok, that communication would have helped. You don’t get your own English Muffin from the buffet though, that you wait for at the table, but the waiter forgot to tell the kitchen about it. He apologized. Then brought it. Then the supervisor also brought one, so I had two. They offered to re-do my omelet because it had been sitting for a while. I said it was fine, and it was still very good. They also say they are unable to add anything other than cheese to the omelet, so no onions, tomatoes, etc. I didn’t love that in the moment, but it still tasted very good just being egg and cheese. The supervisor offered a discount on the bill for the inconveniences, which was very nice, and I think made all the difference. It’s...

The food is fantastic, but the service is terrible. Someone there needs to explain a few things to the server Jean. Sourdough and white toast are not the same thing. Home fries and seasoned grilled potatoes are not the same thing. The potatoes that come with the eggs entree are written as “potatoes” in the menu while “home fries” are written out elsewhere in the menu, and they are prepared entirely different. Self-serve buffet and a la carte are not the same thing. When someone asks you about the buffet that is clearly listed in the menu, don’t go off on an explanation of the continental breakfast. Try actually listening to your customers and paying attention to what they’re saying and/or asking. You probably won’t get confused as much. For dinner, the ribeye was delicious. There are so many restaurants that just don’t know how to cook a...
