点评:My friend and I ate dinner here last night in Scottsdale - a favorite spot for years. The food was just not up to par last night, and quite frankly, the value was not characteristic of what we previously loved about this restaurant. When trying to decide on an appetizer, we asked the waitress how many shrimp came with the shrimp cocktail - she replied "5". I asked "are they a good size" and she responded yes, showing us with her finger and thumb what we could expect, so we settled on the shrimp cocktail. What arrived was two shrimp, that had been diced to offer 5 small chunks of shrimp. People dining at that price point are people who typically aren't afraid to spend some $, but they don't want to start the meal feeling as though they're being ripped off - which is how we felt being charged $18.00 for 5, one inch pieces of shrimp. It was difficult to even dip them in the cocktail sauce as 3 pieces had no tail... so you couldn't barely dip them without getting sauce on your fingers. The steak salads we ordered for our main course were mediocre cuts of steak, small portion of salad, no bread available other than cornbread, and the steak was shredded versus nice, pink slices that you would expect to see on a salad. I ordered the BLT wedge with a steak and my friend ordered the steak salad. Both of our steaks came nearly shredded pieces versus uniform slices - very odd and not overly appetizing.
翻译:我和朋友昨晚在斯科茨代尔的这家餐厅吃了晚餐——这家餐厅多年来一直是我的心头好。昨晚的菜品实在不怎么样,而且说实话,性价比也远不及我们之前对这家餐厅的喜爱。在决定点什么开胃菜的时候,我们问服务员虾仁鸡尾酒里有多少只虾——她回答说“5只”。我问她“份量合适吗?”她回答说是的,还用手指指着我们,于是我们点了虾仁鸡尾酒。送来的虾是两只切成小块的虾。以这个价位用餐的人通常不怕花钱,但他们不想一开始就觉得自己被宰了——我们当时就觉得,5块一英寸长的虾要18美元。连蘸鸡尾酒酱都费劲,因为有3只虾没有尾巴……所以你根本没法蘸,不然酱汁会沾到手指上。我们点的主菜牛排沙拉,牛排切得一般,沙拉份量也很少,除了玉米面包之外没有其他面包可选,而且牛排被撕成了碎块,而不是沙拉上常见的漂亮粉色牛排。我点了培根生菜番茄三明治配牛排,我朋友点了牛排沙拉。我们两份牛排都几乎被撕成了碎块,而不是整齐划一的牛排——非常奇怪,而且不太好吃。
