I have got to say this, we had a bad experience. Things happen and when dining out, you aren't always granted everything you want, right when you want it but certain facets are usually met and meals are usually decent.
For a Lettuce Entertain You spot we expected everything to be on point. We were sorely mistaken. Again, cards might have just been stacked against us that night and all fell apart.
We got a great table outside, we ordered an app and a drink, spinach artichoke dip came, it was great and more than a half hour later we saw the waitress again for the 2nd time. Had we wanted another drink we might have been perturbed. Strike 1.
We ordered a couple more apps and requested the calamari to come plain (spicy mayo on the side) and a side of cocktail sauce. Well eventually the calamari came with the mayo on, and no cocktail sauce...Strike 2 (and 3).
We then waited another interminable amount of time only to get our cauliflower side offered to us 15 mins before the main course arrived. Strike 3 (or 4 but we'll keep going).
So, we ordered the tri-tip special which came out cold and we must have gotten a poor cut b/c it was not something we could have enjoyed even if served at an appropriate temperature. Strike 4. We sent it back and got another entree.
So, after all is said and done, they comped us much of the meal and we weren't there to get a reduced price, we love LEY restaurants b/c of their high attention to detail and almost great food gauranteed.
So I will chalk this up to first time jitters, on Summer House's part I guess b/c it was packed and we had to get a reservation 2 months in advance but for what the meal would have cost I would have rather gone to Joe's in a heartbeat...enter at your own risk...this wasn't the best meal I have ever had.
