Had a couple of interesting experiences at a couple of restaurants on this road trip. Maybe the powers to be at CM could begin a category for restaurant reviews.
Prime Rib and Wine House in Sheridan, Wyoming.
Have driven by that place every year for the past seven years and not once stopped, looked too fancy for my blood. So this year I stopped. It was under construction, so was seated in a large room that had been seperated from it's other half by a piece of plastic. There was another family sitting on the other side of the dining area, and as the waitress walked by, she dropped some food on the carpet, but did not pick it up. I figured maybe she was at the end of her shift and in a hurry to leave so didn't take the time to clean it.
I ordered a seafood combination as an appetizer and the prime rib for the main course, along with a glass of six grape wine that happened to be the highlight of the experience. The waitress questioned me whether I could handle the main course because the appetizer was large, and without being rude my desire to have both, I politely said yes, as it shouldn't have been her concern whether I could eat all of the food, just bring it on, I was starved!
I waited for some bread, but it did not come. After sitting there with my little glass of wine for over thirty minutes, waiting for something to munch on, out came the appetizer, I can't remember the different things on it, a couple of them were okay, some of them were not, and the serving was made to look a lot bigger than it was with sauces, dipping stuff and some veggies.
After eating what looked attractive, it seems that the waitress was waiting to see if I would finish it and still want the prime rib, of course I said yes. Then came the bread, then the soup, and the prime rib was so-so. Not such a great dining experience, other than discovering the tasty wine. I was anxious to leave that place, and then, of course, the credit card was declined, which took another thirty minutes to settle. Nope, won't ever be stopping there again, would much rather buy a steak and charcoal and head to the park. I've hit a lot of steakhouses on this trip, few were excellent, most so-so, and the steakhouse which was actually a sushi bar in Salina, Nebraska caught me off guard, but a pleasant experience neverthless. I was expecting my steak to come out of the kitchen in one piece.
Does anybody else think that a restaurant review section here would be cool?
