Garden Grille & Bar

Unfortunately this is a review of a poor experience. The night began with a round of drinks. No complaints there. However on the second round they were out of tequila for a margarita. This was a ominous sign of things to come.
Our appetizers were shrimp spring rolls and shrimp cocktails. The spring rolls were just ok, slightly mushy with a decent filling and a serviceable mango salsa. The shrimp cocktail is described as «untraditional» with an avacado infused cocktail sauce. These came recommended by some of our party that had ordered them previously. Disappointingly, they did not have any avacado! They were just an average shrimp cocktail, without any of the expected pizzazz.
We attempted to order the red pepper and gouda bisque, and were told they were out of it as well. This was more than disappointing as it was still Lent and meat was not on our menu. We had to settle for salads instead.
Dinner was an improvement, but nothing special. The crispy salmon was a good sized filet, glazed with a sesame sauce. It was firm and flakey, but could have used more flavor. A mango salsa would have been a good compliment. With my salmon, the baked potato was not fully done, and my asperagus was barely cooked. To top it off, our dinner rolls were hard and cold.
We had come here on the suggestion of family who were impressed enough to recommend it, but our experience was dismal. Were it not for good company, and a friendly server, we may have asked for a manager, or even some comps. Two stars may be generous and I can say that I will not be back.
