点评:I like to eat in local places while we’re on the road. Read about this place being historic with a beautiful bar and lovely tin ceiling. And that is all true.
Walked in and could not believe how loud the single singer with an acoustic guitar was. There was a sound engineer, working a board, so he must’ve thought that level was OK. But you could not have a conversation at all. I was wishing for earplugs.
When we first stepped in, I considered just looking at the carved mahogany bar and going somewhere else. But, we figured it should be fast and we could endure the cacophony for a short time. We were so wrong about it being fast.
There was only one wait staff working that night, and she was also behind the bar. When she finally moseys over to us, she admitted she had forgotten all about us.
She then took our drink order, and the drinks came quickly. But then she literally never came back to take a food order. Watched her go to all the other tables, watched her clean off the bar, watched her answer a phone call for a takeout order, and then I finally went up to the bar and asked her if we could put in a food order.
Once the food was ordered it came out quickly. My husband’s smashburger and candied pecan salad were both really delicious.
I am a sucker for a local food item whenever I see it on the menu, and I made the mistake of ordering the cashew chicken poutine. The cashew sauce had zero flavor and was just overly salty. The chicken was fried very tough. At least the cheese curds were good. But I barely ate any of it. Nothing but regret about this choice.
翻译:我喜欢在旅途中光顾当地餐馆。之前看过介绍,说这家店历史悠久,酒吧很漂亮,锡制天花板也很有特色。这些描述都属实。
一进门,我就被那位抱着原声吉他的歌手的音量震耳欲聋惊呆了。虽然有个音响师在操作调音台,他大概觉得这个音量还可以接受。但根本没法好好说话。我当时真希望自己有耳塞。
刚进门的时候,我甚至想过就看看那雕花红木吧台,然后去别的地方。但我们觉得应该很快就能吃上,而且可以忍受一会儿这嘈杂的声音。结果我们大错特错了。
那天晚上只有一个服务员,而且她还要在吧台后面忙活。好不容易她慢悠悠地走到我们跟前,才承认她把我们给忘了。
之后她帮我们点了饮料,饮料很快就上来了。但之后她就再也没回来问我们要不要点餐。我看着她去其他桌服务,看着她收拾吧台,看着她接了个外卖电话,最后我才走到吧台问她能不能点餐。
点完餐后,菜很快就上来了。我老公点的碎牛肉汉堡和蜜饯山核桃沙拉都非常美味。
我一看到菜单上有当地特色菜就忍不住想点,结果这次点了腰果鸡肉肉汁奶酪薯条,真是个错误。腰果酱一点味道都没有,而且咸得要命。鸡肉炸得又硬又柴。好在奶酪块还不错。但我几乎没吃什么。真是后悔死了。
