Patte's — Restaurant in Wilkes-Barre

I was excited to try a new restaurant as it was my first time out in awhile due to Covid. My friend had said good things about this restaurant, and when we arrived at 5:45 our drink orders were taken promptly with the promise that someone would be over to take our orders shortly. I anticipated a short wait as it was a Saturday night during dinner hour, but nothing like this. We waited and waited and waited some more. No one actually came over to our table to take our order. Instead, my friend had to get up and wave a waitress down after about 40 minutes with no service at all. The server was not polite or apologetic whatsoever. Our food order was finally taken at around 630 and then we waited another 45 to 50 minutes just to get our appetizers.There was no apology for the delay of any kind. Meanwhile, we were there with a one-year-old child who was very well behaved given the circumstances.

My friend ordered shrimp scampi as an appetizer. When the food did finally come, she received three shrimp on her plate for a nine dollar app! Three!!! She asked if it was a mistake and they said no. That was $3 per shrimp. I ordered the haddock on special but instead of being flakey, it was overcooked and rubbery. There is no way to get rubbery fish unless it is microwaved. That fish was 100% microwaved and the twice baked potato had no flavor. This was my first and last time at this restaurant as both the food and the service were terrible. It took almost 2 hours to from the time we walked in to receive...

Thursday evening. Party of 4. Had prime rib, chicken francaise and quesadilla. All tasted very good, though thought quesadilla was small for a dinner portion (this was not from the appetizer section). Bar tables were filled but only a few tables in dining area. Only one server was working that night: she did a fantastic job covering everything herself. Didn't mind the service being a little slow as we were catching up with friends, and dislike feeling rushed, in general. We hadn't been to Patte's in years - just feel of the radar. We; won't wait so...

You Need To Know? Arrived around 7;00 pm & were able to be seated immediately. Ordered the corn chowder w/ roasted red peppers soup which was absolutely amazing, a must have. Other dishes were the Fat Pat Cheesesteak sandwich which is on an entire loaf of bread, chicken fingers which were perfectly breaded, & a cheese steak quesadilla which was lacking on the meat but loaded with peppers. Food was all around delicious & crowd was rooting on the local Wolfpack!...
