I've reviewed Damon's before. I'm not sure, but I gave it good marks; either a 4 or a 5. That's not happening this time for the following reasons.
When we arrived, we found a parking spot in their large parking lot. We took the elevator to the 2nd floor where the restaurant is located. We were seated in short order. The waitress came promptly, provided us with menus and took our drink order. After a reasonable wait, she returned with our drinks and took our order. So far, so good.
However, as she walked away, only after our order being taken that she deem fit to advise us that the kitchen was backed-up and there would be some delay in our order being brought to the table.
About 20 minutes later, the waitress brought the house bread to the table. It was four mini blueberry muffins with a flavored butter. It was warm and quite good. Unfortunately, we didn't have any silverware or napkins. We waited maybe 10 minutes without seeing any trace of her, so we decided to dip the muffins into the butter. While we didn't see our waitress, we did observe other wait-staff around the restaurant attending to other patrons.
After another half hour, the waitress came back to advise us that the kitchen had caught up.. After a total of waiting for our meal for well over an hour, we decided that we should just get up, pay for our drinks, and leave. Just as we started collecting our things, our meals arrived.
Starving at this point, we sat down and ate our food. I say "food" because I wouldn't characterize what was served as a "meal". I ordered the "meatloaf." My meatloaf was a pasty consistency. I prefer meatloaf with a slight crust and a firm but moist interior. This had the texture of being extruded from.a pastry bag
This was a flabby interior with a slightly harder wall around it. The mashed potatoes were tainted with an unnidentifiable flavoring, one that maybe is better that I can't identify. The Slaw was ok, but I think it should have had a stronger flavor.
During our hour and maybe 15 minute wait, my wife and I observed several other tables being seated after us . They receiving their meals long before us
On the good side, the views at this place are excellent. The sea, fishing and commercial boats, recreational craft, para-sailers and other activities are very entertaining and interesting. People with creaky joints can avoid the long staircase cli
mb with a dedicated elevator. The restaurant is well maintained.
In the past, service was very good. The food was ok, but never exemplary. The runs were very good. However, the real reason to come wa good food and service but mainly the view. Even the tables further away from the large architectural windows had a good view.
I will eventually return. It may be 6 months to a year, but eventually I will go back. But for now, friends visiting me in MB won't be coming here. Pity.
