This food looks very appetizing but it had zero palatable flavors. Basic elements to give it any flavor at all were missing. Like salt, pepper on the mashed potatoes. This is basic, basic cooking 101. I had eaten the steak the first time we ate here and it was good. My family got mead chicken and was disappointed. This time(we like to give everything a second chance if possible) we got pork chops and trout. The menu says pecan encrusted on the trout, no way!! Paprika encrusted maybe. The skin was left on and it was broiled. The skin was slimy and a weird consistency making the fish taste strange. The taters had huge lumps if you like that kind of thing. Had the carrot butternut squash "bisque " and there was nothing bisque about it. Very, very lumpy, heavy on ginger or nutmeg. Not creamy at all. Overall, a HUGE disappointment for the money we spent. We are new to town, and have been looking for good restaurants. We ate at a little diner in pelzer the other night and our whole meal including a huge burger for our dog was 17 bucks. That's how much I paid for just my salmon. Our meal at Mcgees was over 50 bucks for lunch. Yea, 50. They need a lunch menu and they said they were working on changing the menu and it seems to me they need to work a little harder at executing the menu they already have. I honestly dont know why this is rated so high unless it's a local thing.
