after spending a day at a state park, i was starving. i had been enjoying a nature trail and then a rowboat, and was in a tiny town.
my phone told me there were 5 restaurants- 3 of which were fast food or pizza.
one was called pub and called a steak house, but the website referred to itself as casual and affordable.
So in we waltz in gym shorts and tees.....this was a pretty upscale place.
The were SO rude that after appetizers, we left for a long, hungry drive home!
a portabello stuffed with shrimp and a creamy swiss sauce
a few bites of crabcake with their homemade (not sweet) slaw
once home, we popped some champagne to celebrate my boyfriend's amazing evaluation at work, and then snacked on roasted pumpkin seeds. yum!
but i did wake up hungry, which i normally don't. and i felt bad my fella didn't get the steak he wanted, because of the terrible service.
now i really believe in dressing appropriately, but if you describe the restaurant as "casual upscale", are located right next to a large state park, and inside a strip mall.....surely, we can't be the only people who walk in looking under-dressed!
I had a similar situation in a posh neighborhood in DC once, after a charity bike run- but that time, they treated me graciously. I left a HUGE tip, and have recommended the place to many, many people.
sorry, i will end my rant now.
