1 /5 Jawn Shackamaxon: I want to start off by saying I really wanted to like this place. It’s removed, in a postcard picturesque valley, and has views at sunset that are worth the trip to have a drink at their outdoor bar.
Everything started off fine. Drinks were good and we were enjoying the atmosphere. As the dinners arrived, our table held its collective breath. Presentation was commendable, but when it came time to take a bite, all hope vanished. We had ordered the pork chop, chicken panini, and pasta with shrimp and scallops.
The food, to be blunt, was flavorless, dry, and completely underwhelming.
The pork chop was dry. Absolutely zero flavor. I couldn’t even finish the dinner because it was just that dry.
The shrimp and scallop were awful - watery and flavorless as well.
Now, for the chicken panini. It came out WITHOUT the chicken. To make matters worse, the server attempted to remedy the situation by bringing out a separate piece of chicken, cut up into bite sized pieces. I mean….i don’t even know what to do with that. Is the expectation for the person eating to pile on the chicken pieces to the messed up panini? To eat it separately? Just completely flabbergasted. Just to let you know what should have happened: you apologize, and bring out A NEW PANINI.
OR if the person eating says ‘no, I’m good, I don’t want the chicken or replacement,’ you LISTEN and don’t bring out cut up pieces of chicken as if I’m a toddler being fed by my parent. Also, completely classless to not take the chicken-less panini off the bill. I mean, are you serious?
I would not recommend eating here to anyone looking for anything decent or flavorful. With zero competition around, it’s easy to see why this place is packed. There’s literally no other options. So, I get it, but, I make it a point to try and only eat out at places that are worth the money AND deliver on the product.
