Absolutely the biggest Thanksgiving mistake of my life.
I had never been to Saltys before, somehow the review on urbanspoon looked good.
I like buffets, havent really met one i didnt like before until now, so I took my girlfriend to Saltys to be the Thanksgiving hero, and They made me a Turkey alright!
I had reservations 3 days in advance, when I got there on time, I was told they were running 15-20 minutes behind, so I waited,,,, 1 hour later we were seated.
to make a long story short Il get tot the point, there was no turkey when I arrived at 7pm, there was a carcus so I got prime rib instead, when I sat down I went for the mash poatoes and stuffing first and on my first bite I pulled a rogue hair out from between my lips, now suddenly Im not looking at the meal the same, it was all down hill from there folks!
Please remember this is Thanksgiving and the most anticipated Meal of the entire year, all day I had been saving myself for what I thought was going to be the greatest meal ever, I mean I could have chose a less expensive place but I figured hey, you get what you pay for right? Ha!
After deciding not to let the hair or the wait or the poor service ruin my Thanksgiving I worked up my appetite back and went for a new plate,
Well, the prime rib was tough, overcooked and absolutely flavorless.
The macaroni and cheese had no cheese, it was like the stuff left over in the drain after washing the dishes in your sink.
So I continued to try one thing after the other hoping to find something that could help my experience, absolutely everything was terrible and bland.
I was actually angry that they were such low quality all around and felt embarrassed and uncomfortable, at the 'carving station' I heard the staff bickering to eachother and one of them actually looked at me and tried to get me involved...
Very unprofessional and immature and uncomfortable, my server had no clue how to serve and the manager of the resturaunt made a snide rude personal remark to me in front of my girlfriend.
I have worked in fine dining for years and I have never seen chaos at this level. Many of the employees were better suited for Western State mental hospital.
Knucklheads!!
Expected good things and if I knew then what I know now, I would have gone somewhere else, hell, the union gospel mission would have been a major improvement!!!!!!!!!
