Sorry Charlie, but two strikes and you're out
I’m really disappointed. This little basement eatery used to be a great place to get a bite before going to a flick at the Art or other downtown event, but no more. The time before last my wife and I were served warm imported Czech beer on tap which I gave them a pass on. (Hey, they may have had some electrical problem. Who knows?)
But recently, again before attending an event at the Art, they overcooked my breaded mushrooms until they were dark and hard and even inexplicably gave me half the usual quantity! Now I watch my calories, but they don’t know that! On top of all that my wife and I experienced some gastrointestinal problems in the next 6 hours which we can only attribute to this meal.
My advice? Either avoid altogether or look for dishes that require minimal cooking such as salads and stick to the bottled beers. That’s a shame since the Czech lager on draft is actually pretty tasty when properly served but it’s not worth ruining your evening.
Dishes Tried:
Fried Portobello mushrooms
Fine when given 2 large specimens and NOT overcooked due to cook’s negligence
