I have been eating at this restaurant for 41 years and it certainly
has changed over the years.The decor is a hodge podge of former
and current owners and could cause an LSD flashback with its patterned
square and floral rug, faux sponged walls in the bar, patterned
wallpaper and different patterned booths in the main restaurant,
a trompe l'oeuil entrance to the restaurant with the biggest
chair you have ever seen-hilarious but threatening to the senses! The bar includes the oyster and espresso bars with a TV that only
shows sports channels-smoking is allowed and food is served
in there!Have you ever tried to eat a dozen oysters for which you
have paid dearly and someone is sucking on a ciggy right next to
you?UNFAIR!
The restaurant menu has changed in the past few years to reflect
the current mainstream trends in food but the quality of the food
is lacking.I should know-in the past 15 years I have eaten there
2-3 times a week to escape meat eating parents for whom I was caregiving. Last night I had the caesar salad-soggy with dressing and low
quality grated cheese on top.Then I had the mushroom ravioli
and those raviolis were pre-al dente=barely cooked and doughy.The
filling was good but the sauce was brown gravy with marsala wine
added with a few portabello slices on top.The dessert cart hasn't
changed since I used to eat a dessert with every meal-now I'm wearing
those desserts on my outer thighs and wishing for a dessert with
only fruit and cream without the rock hard meringue.
The salad bar is quite hearty and if you pick and choose on the menu
I am sure you can find something to your liking.This is the only
restaurant worth eating at in Augusta, Maine-the breakfasts
are hearty and lunch is passable but when the words on the menu
look innovative, the quality of the food should reflect that.
