| Ó (a biró restaurant) | Sheboygan 8/28/2007 |
When we came in we were told we could sit anywhere we wanted . . . except for the table we sat down at. The only other available tables were crammed against other tables, some of them sharing bench seats. This was on a Tuesday evening. Our waitress did suggest that we move to a roomier location once the party next to us left, but not until after I had been whacked in the back by a large Sheboygan butt. The food started out fantastic (the salad was great) and got progressively worse. Sushi was not available on the one "sushi night" this month because the chef was out. My second choice, the filet mignon, had allegedly just sold out minutes earlier. The Atkins diet did not leave me many other options, so I settled on the pork, steak and salmon satay. My order for the mixed greens salad had already gone in, and my entree came with yet another salad. The entree did not come with mushrooms as advertised, and one would have to assume that the mushrooms carried all the flavor of the dish. All of the meat was dry and tough, and I think I was given two portions of pork instead of the steak. It was hard to tell. Although I had ordered a mixed greens salad as an appetizer, I ate the one that came with my entree afterward just to get some flavor back in my mouth. I was still hungry after my entree, but the samples of my husband's (pretty good) ahi tuna helped to tide me over. Then there was the dessert. My husband ordered the green tea creme brulee. It took about 20 minutes for it to appear. The top was not crunchy, he reported that it did not taste like anything, and it was CURDLED. It would have been a great place to take a well-behaved kid but for the nice big TV that was showing The Return of the King. I had to distract Katie during the gorier parts by letting her mug for the camera. |
