Disappointment at the Liberty Oak...

So Mama Dukes and I went to eat dinner at the Liberty Oak Restaurant and Bar on Wasihington St. the other night. We were so disappointed. Nothing was plated and both of our entrees were swimming in the same lemon sauce. The fried calamari we got was so chewy that my jaw hurt afterwards and the entrees were something a child could have thrown together. Maybe they were having an off night or there was new kitchen staff. I had heard such great things about that place. They really dropped the ball, then kicked it across the room... really far. The only redeeming factor was the soup in the beginning, the Saffron Chicken Soup. It was the only thing that kept me from throwing my plate against the wall.

All that aside, I've been told that I need to try lunch there so maybe they will step it up then but it may be sometime before my stomach will let me go back. Especially since for $20 more I could eat at Printworks Bistro in the Proximity Hotel and have my mind blown... and get dessert, but that's another blog for another time. I definitely didn't think it was worth the $60 some dollars. I didn't take any pictures because it wasn't worth the space on my memory card. If any of you have had a better experience or a similar experience I would love to hear about it.
