点评:My husband and I were very excited about trying a new place. After reading other reviews and looking at the menu, we decided to give The Olive Branch a try. It was a rather meh experience. We placed our order and then the waiting began. It seemed to take forever to get our food and once it arrived it was decidedly lack-luster.
I opted for the Cajun Pasta. The description made it seem amazing and anything that has the word "Cajun" in it almost seems to promise that it will be flavorful and delicious, with a hint of spice. What came was most definitely not flavorful. It was, in effect, BLAND. The chicken was dry and the pasta, though cooked well and coated in sauce, didn't seem to live up to the promise the dish seemed to imply was coming. Probably the highlight of the dish was the little piece of bread that came with it.
My husband got the TOB burger. While the burger was large and had lots of fresh looking ingredients on it (lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc.), the burger was also lacking in flavor. The egg that my husband added to it did improve the richness of the food, but shouldn't a burger already have some richness and flavor on its own? The high point of his meal was the french fries. Those, at least, were crispy and delicious.
We tried the house sausage and it was decent. Since my husband also makes sausage, we were both excited about trying something professionally made. After sampling it, we decided that his is superior, although what we were served was okay.
One of the things that struck me after looking at the menu we received versus the menu online, was the absence of some of the choices. There are more pasta dishes on the online menu and there were NO house specialties available on the paper menu from the restaurant. Part of that may be because we were there for lunch and they may have a limited selection then.
With all this being said, the service was good, although, once again, not great. Having ruminated on it for awhile, I think I will be good with not repeating a visit there. If you are looking for something delicious, look elsewhere. If you are looking for something overpriced and with meh food, this may be the place for you.
翻译:我丈夫和我对尝试一个新地方感到非常兴奋。在阅读了其他评论并查看了菜单后,我们决定尝试 The Olive Branch。这是一次相当无聊的经历。我们下订单,然后等待开始。似乎要花很长时间才能得到我们的食物,一旦它到达,它就明显缺乏光泽。
我选择了 Cajun 意大利面。描述让它看起来很神奇,任何有“Cajun”这个词的东西似乎都在承诺它会美味可口,带有一丝香料。来的绝对不是美味的。实际上,它是乏味的。鸡肉是干的,意大利面虽然煮得很好并且涂上了酱汁,但似乎没有兑现这道菜似乎暗示即将到来的承诺。这道菜的亮点可能是随附的小面包。
我丈夫点了 TOB 汉堡。虽然汉堡很大,里面有很多看起来很新鲜的配料(生菜、西红柿、泡菜等),但汉堡也缺乏味道。我丈夫加的鸡蛋确实增加了食物的丰富性,但汉堡本身不应该已经有一些丰富性和味道了吗?他用餐的最高点是炸薯条。那些,至少,香脆可口。
我们尝试了自制香肠,味道不错。因为我丈夫也做香肠,我们都很高兴尝试专业制作的东西。取样后,我们认为他的更好,尽管我们得到的服务还可以。
在查看我们收到的菜单与在线菜单后,让我印象深刻的一件事是缺少一些选择。在线菜单上有更多意大利面食,餐厅的纸质菜单上没有特色菜。部分原因可能是因为我们在那里吃午饭,那时他们的选择可能有限。
综上所述,服务很好,尽管再一次不是很好。考虑了一段时间后,我想我不会再去那里了。如果您正在寻找美味的东西,请寻找其他地方。如果您正在寻找价格过高且搭配美味食物的东西,那么这里可能适合您。
