点评:I knew absolutely nothing about LP before making reservations. It was close, it was a beautiful evening and it looked promising.
We were seated promptly and the waitstaff was quick with our drink order. That's where it began to fall apart. The first thing I noticed was how loud it was. Very distracting. Husband ordered the Buffalo Dip ($11) to be served first, followed by the Caesar Salad ($12). They arrived almost simultaneously and he said the dip tasted like ketchup on cheese, not very flavorful. The salad was truly sad. We both love a good Caesar but ended up leaving it. The leaves were the tough outer leaves of the Romaine and for the most part, they weren't chopped. It was so lightly dressed that we weren't sure it even was! On the plus side (if it had been good) - it was massive.
For dinner, my husband ordered the fresh FL snapper with a tomato basil cream sauce and couscous ($21). He really enjoyed the fish, it was sauced proportionately and moist. The couscous was stone cold.
I ordered the Grilled Pork Belly BLT ($14). It was promising! They were very generous with the pork belly bacon, but a single leaf of lettuce and two extremely thin slices of tomato with no dressing do not a BLT make (it said it had dijonnaise on it but I didn't find any); I usually don't drink liquids when I eat but I needed some to wash the first two bites down. I asked for a side of mayonnaise to help and by the time it arrived, my husband was almost finished his meal.
My personal pet peeve is dishes not being cleared and that was the final insult of the evening. As a former food service employee I tend to cut some slack, but this was just a sad experience. It's a real shame because the venue was attractive, the food descriptions were great and the staff were all very pleasant.
One and done.
翻译:在预订之前我对LP一无所知。时间已经很近了,这是一个美丽的夜晚,而且看起来很有希望。
我们很快就入座了,服务员很快就给我们点了饮料。这就是它开始崩溃的地方。我注意到的第一件事就是声音有多大。非常分散注意力。丈夫先点了水牛酱(11 美元),然后是凯撒沙拉(12 美元)。他们几乎同时到达,他说蘸酱尝起来像奶酪上的番茄酱,味道不太好。沙拉真的很难过。我们都喜欢一个好的凯撒,但最终还是离开了它。叶子是罗马生菜坚硬的外叶,大部分没有切碎。它穿得太轻薄了,我们甚至不确定它是不是!从好的方面来说(如果它很好的话)——它是巨大的。
晚餐时,我丈夫点了新鲜的佛罗里达鲷鱼配番茄罗勒奶油酱和蒸粗麦粉(21 美元)。他真的很喜欢这条鱼,酱汁比例恰到好处,而且湿润。蒸粗麦粉很冷。
我点了烤五花肉 BLT(14 美元)。这是有希望的!他们对五花肉培根非常慷慨,但是一片生菜叶和两片极薄的番茄片(不加调料)不是生菜番茄三明治(据说上面有迪乔内酱,但我没有找到);我吃饭时通常不喝液体,但我需要一些来冲掉前两口。我要了一份蛋黄酱来帮忙,当它到达时,我丈夫几乎吃完了饭。
我个人最讨厌的是盘子没有清理干净,这是当晚最后的侮辱。作为一名前餐饮服务员工,我倾向于放松一些,但这只是一次悲伤的经历。这真的很遗憾,因为场地很有吸引力,食物的描述很棒,而且工作人员都非常令人愉快。
一就完成了。
