点评:The title says it all. The vintage house has been our go-to favorite restaurant in the whole area. It has been our choice for special and celebratory dining. It has been the place that we've given our highest recommendation, but tonight it definitely failed on nearly every aspect.
We arrived with reservations for a birthday dinner on a Tuesday night. We were immediately seated but then we were left with no service or attention for 10 to 15 minutes, despite no one else being in our section and only two tables of diners in the opposite section. When the waitress returned with water we placed an order for calamari which arrived in a reasonable time. Kudos for a creative presentation, but the calamari was flattened into strips with a soft seasoned . The garlic sauce was a treat but the overall dish would be better in a more classic recipe presentation. We ordered entrees and then we were left unattended and unaddressed for 50 minutes. Our meal was delivered by someone other than our waitress and we commented on the delay. We were told that well, the kitchen is shorthanded. That observation was proven in the meal itself. The salmon entree was grossly overcooked and dry. The scallops and the shrimp dish was hardly room temperature from sitting so long. While there were potentially enjoyable flavors that could be teased from both dishes, neither was anywhere near the previous standard of the vintage house. Wanting to do the right thing and provide direct feedback in person. I was again disappointed not to find a host or a manager anywhere to talk to.
This was clearly a night of management failure. At no time did a waitress, a host, kitchen staff or a manager explain the long delays other than the brief comment when the meal was delivered.
We cherish this restaurant for the quality of food and service we've had in the past, but it will be a while before we return hoping that management can correct the many shortcomings we found in our visit tonight. No one will pay the $250 we did for the poor quality and service provided on this visit. If these corrections aren't made, the restaurant will have no hope of surviving which will be a real loss to us and to the community. Here's hoping tonight was truly a one-off disaster for the restaurant but I'll proceed with caution until I read consistent reviews of improvement.
翻译:标题说明了一切。这家老式房子是我们在整个地区最喜欢去的餐厅。这是我们选择特殊和庆祝用餐的选择。这是我们给予最高推荐的地方,但今晚它几乎在每个方面都失败了。
我们预订了周二晚上的生日晚餐。我们立即就座,但随后 10 到 15 分钟内没有任何服务或关注,尽管我们所在的区域没有其他人,而且对面区域也只有两桌食客。当女服务员端着水回来时,我们点了鱿鱼,它在合理的时间内到达了。感谢创意演示,但鱿鱼被压扁成条状,并加了软调味料。大蒜酱是一种享受,但如果有更经典的菜谱展示,整个菜会更好。我们点了主菜,然后我们就被无人看管,无人接待,长达 50 分钟。我们的饭菜是由女服务员以外的人送来的,我们对延迟进行了评论。我们被告知,好吧,厨房人手不足。这一观察在这顿饭本身中得到了证实。三文鱼主菜煮得太久而且很干。扇贝和虾菜放了这么久,几乎没有室温。虽然这两道菜都有潜在的令人愉快的味道,但都没有达到老式餐厅以前的标准。想要做正确的事并亲自提供直接反馈。我再次感到失望的是,没有找到可以交谈的主人或经理。
这显然是一个管理失败的夜晚。除了送餐时的简短评论外,女服务员、主人、厨房工作人员或经理从未解释过长时间的延误。
我们很珍惜这家餐厅,因为我们过去吃过的食物质量和服务,但我们还需要一段时间才能回来,希望管理层能够纠正我们今晚访问中发现的许多缺点。没有人愿意为我们这次访问提供的糟糕质量和服务支付 250 美元。如果不做出这些纠正,餐厅将没有生存的希望,这对我们和社区来说都是真正的损失。希望今晚对餐厅来说确实是一场一次性灾难,但我会谨慎行事,直到我阅读一致的改进评论。
