One of our favorite watering holes has been disappointing us lately.
.

.
Not with the cocktails, they’re still perfect… as this fresh blueberry mojito demonstrates. But the food, which is more than a tad overpriced, has been letting us down on a regular basis and that’s sad.
.

This is a seared scallop on vegetable risotto dish I’ve always adored. And while it looks lovely, the risotto crunched… which it definitely shouldn’t do.
.

.
This massive portion of mashed potatoes the husband was served with his salmon arrived stone cold. But when he complained and asked them to reheat them? They brought him another large portion of cold potato. Eating out with my husband should require a travel size blow torch because nothing is ever hot enough. Even when he asks the waitress to make doubly sure it’s steaming.
The final nail in the proverbial food coffin? I ordered a Bananas Foster cake for dessert.
.

.
And it didn’t have any bananas!
WTH?
😖

We’ve noticed that our favorite restaurants have declined as well. But cold food, crispy risotto and no bananas! Ugh.

My spaghetti was crunchy in a recent restaurant which is weird because they were supposed to be made fresh every day. And the Bourbon Witch cocktail was meh.
I’m wondering if they’re suffering from staff issues and/or don’t have enough time to train people… ?

A lot of our favorite places are closed half the week or don’t open for lunch now due to staffing shortages . It’s sad…

Well that sucks, it should be equal with good food and libations.

I have 3 criteria for a great restaurant. Atmosphere, inventive cocktails and quality of food. Very few places get an A in all three….

Yes, but still. I’ve made Bananas Foster from scratch… there need to be bananas.

I ordered a burger once and it came without a burger. The bun was good, though.

A burgerless burger? That’s sad….

Sadder still? This happened in high school, and I was too afraid to tell the lunch lady she screwed up.
