Hereford House - March 12, 2008

Restaurant - Hereford House
Website- http://www.herefordhouse.com/

Review:






Atmosphere:

Its like they try to be upscale but don't really pull it off. I did like that you could watch peoples food being made while we waited for our table.

Average, I guess



Service:

Some people say professional, I say stuffy. He was good though


Good. A little too fancy for me though.



Food:

Blah! I never should have let the server talk me into getting my steak done medium. If I want to eat a hockey puck, let me.

I've had the same opinion both times I've been there: Underwhelming.


APPROVED!:

Mashed potatoes and $15 off each meal.


The drunk lady at the bar amusing me.


Not approved:

steak. :(


That the food isn't better.



Intend to return?:

If I get more coupons I'll think about it.


I guess if another rep takes me there for a free lunch or HUBAR! gets more coupons.

Peachtree Buffet - March 8th, 2008

Restaurant - Peachtree Buffet
Website- http://www.peachtreerestaurant.com/default.html


Review:






Atmosphere:
I don't know what I had imagined it to be like, but it was definitely nicer than I thought it would be.

Way more white people were there than any other time I've been there. I haven't decided if that's good or bad yet.

Service:

GREAT! I like waiters that have the balls to make fun of me. Not in a mean way though. Just commenting on how we were drinking diet pop and eating a soul food buffet.

Yeah, he was pretty awesome. I wish he could be my server in every restaurant. Except Po's.

Food:
Best country dinner I've had ever that was not made by my mom. Maybe even better than hers, to close to call.

Your mom makes soul food? I would have to say everything I had was delicious. The BBQ sauce was fantastic and I've never had non-fried okra before (which I'm now in love with) Just typing this makes me want to go back there.

APPROVED!:
CORNBREAD!!! It should be a staple of every meal. Peach cobbler was also awesome.


Declaring that if I was a cartoon, I would sleep in a cornbread bed.


Not approved:

Signing the credit card before we ate so I forgot about putting in the tip and had to pay the tip in quarters. Sorry dude. Also gaining 2 pounds from one lunch.

That I can't eat every meal there.



Intend to return?:

Once a week?


Can we turn this blog into a weekly review of Peachtree? Also, we need to try the sit down restaurant sometime.

Vinino - February 29, 2008

Restaurant - Vinino

Website- http://www.vininokc.com/


Review:






Atmosphere:

if I had known it was going to be so fancy I would have done my hair.


Fancy Schmancy



Service:


WTF? was anything right? but they were all super nice.


First off, I would like to say that I've been there 2 other times and not had any problems. But LAST night, WHEW! I had won a free happy hour and they apparently didn't know that I had it scheduled for that night and they also had 2 large groups of people coming in (like groups that had reserved half of the restaurant) We were moved to 3 different tables. Twice we were brought food that we didn't order (CLOSE to what we ordered, but not what we ordered) and the waiter didn't seem to know what to charge us for and what not to. Also, what was listed as the soup of the day (asparagus cream) was in fact clam chowder (YUCK!) Somehow magically the bills were all correct though. And the manager (?) was very apologetic and gave us an additional free pizza.

Food:
I regretted my choice of pizza after I tried someone else's choice. theirs was damn good.



Their pizza is really REALLY good. and I like the gnocchi and chocolate mousse I had there last time.

APPROVED!:

Lontee winning the free stuff! And the getting more free stuff cause the reservations were messed up.

Good Food. Entertaining, but not intentionally. Just because of all the stuff that happened.

Not approved:
the service. I mean seriously, did any of the 5 different people who served us have a clue about what was going on?

I really wanted that asparagus cream soup!



Intend to return?:

despite or maybe because of (it was so bad it was comical) the service, I would.


Delicious Pizza, so YES!
