All four plates of pancakes came raw in the middle, the sausage on the two plates with sausage was a gray sort of scary color, the one omelet had a greasy block of cheese on top that was not even fully melted. The orange juice had too much water added to it and the coffee was weak at best. The restaurant offers real or fake maple syrup. We clearly told our waitress that we only wanted real syrup served at our table despite the extra cost. Some of the pancake eaters got the fake stuff and some the real stuff. And that was just the food. Once we all discovered that we could not eat the food that had taken a long time to get to us we complained to out waitress who said she would talk to someone. Another woman who had been waiting tables come over to us and asked if she could get us anything else, but with all our different plates failures and the amount of time it had taken for those plates to come out we were not willing to try again. We said no we just wanted to leave. She went away and said that she would comp the two plates with the dangerous looking sausage. Then we were given our bill of over $100 and that included a 15% discount. But we could not eat 95% of the food! Finally, most of our party left and we asked to speak to the manager. Ashley came over and when we explained the different issues with the food she shrugged her shoulders and asked if we had told our waitress which we said we did and then, contradicting her lack of knowledge, she said that she had told the waitress to give us 15% off of the bill. We said, OK, but we couldn't eat any of it! She said that the food never comes out of the kitchen any way but good and she would talk to the chef. That was the end of that, we decided to pay the bill despite it all and we warn everyone to STAY AWAY!!!!!! Rude people with disgusting food do not deserve your hard earned money!Margaritenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-54203062476439632812013-10-06T23:56:22.363-04:002013-10-06T23:56:22.363-04:00I've seen online that this place has closedI've seen online that this place has closedritgarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-29370384258468017902013-02-28T01:02:28.025-05:002013-02-28T01:02:28.025-05:00He says "them" instead of "those&...He says "them" instead of "those", like "I need them tomatoes sliced".DJ49noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-87501215622025348372013-02-28T00:57:17.819-05:002013-02-28T00:57:17.819-05:00It's not a British thing.

I think Robert Irvine needs to come back, because less than a week after he left, the salad was soggy, waited appx 30 mins for bread and at least an hour for dinner. The Osso Buco was full of fat and the polenta was grainy. The veal cutlet was pounded so thin, it was like a mint. We gave it a second chance, but will not be going back.Lynnc6272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-78434605723694306402013-01-23T00:16:58.657-05:002013-01-23T00:16:58.657-05:00He has a couple of grammatical errors in his speec...He has a couple of grammatical errors in his speech.

Our food was stone cold and they served all their friends before us.... bullsh*t of a place. So disappointing I will NEVER be back. Plus the place was filthy!! Food on the pictures on the walls and the floor was sticky and black and dirty. I don't understand how they got a A in the health code.

For those of you that have never cooked, pushed a dish rack through a dishwasher, or waited on a table, you have no idea how truly complex a restaurant really is. It burns people out. It takes everything you have. You think cops and fire fighters have it tough; they don't have to make a bottom line profit every month or lose their job. Bravo Chef Irvine on how you are telling the real truth about what dedication and hardwork the restaurant industry requires.

I’ve set the timer on my Hopper to record the show<br />each week and then when I get some time, I can watch it whenever. Overall, I<br />think that Irving<br />has the right idea behind mentoring the restaurant owners, especially when they<br />are clueless about the business. When you have hit or miss service there is<br />something fundamentally miscommunicated amongst the staff. My DISH co-worker<br />thinks that the show is a poor copy of Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares and<br />in some ways I agree. 90% of all of the restaurants Ramsay deals with have<br />serious issues. I have yet to see consecutive episodes of Irving dealing with over the top offenders. I’m<br />glad to hear that the restaurant featured here is doing better. <br /><br />Teresae Donovannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-53709965405992174492012-10-05T03:19:05.477-04:002012-10-05T03:19:05.477-04:00^ Dumb.^ Dumb.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-7835902760387390892012-10-04T01:25:32.998-04:002012-10-04T01:25:32.998-04:00Robert Irvine needs to stop saying "Alls"...Robert Irvine needs to stop saying "Alls". It is not a word. All is plural as is. It can be used as a contraction, i.e. all's (for all is) but the two little words are fine on their own. It grates on me every time he utters it on Restaurant Impossible. In an episode tonight he said it 3 times. Hey, let's start a game where you have to guess how many times he will say alls in the current show.George Taterhttp://profile.yahoo.com/3GLFMVN3P2YDTMG55QDNZ4V26Inoreply@blogger.com
