I used to go to Pracna in my college days--late 70's and 80's and LOVED the place. Went to a movie at the theater next door and decided to stop in for old time's sake. What a mistake! The famous Pracna Peels have turned into nothing more than extremely expensive potato skin boats--not the peels that were so fantastic back in the day. $12 for what amounts to a potato and a half. Very disappointing.\r

My waiter spent most of the time reading a paper. I had to wave him over to get his attention and was left sitting for long periods of time. \r

Went a second time and ordered the grilled cheese with their ""famous pracna fries"" with special seasoning. Grilled cheese was nothing special--Sgt. Prestons on 7 Corners used to have the best and the ""seasoned"" fries had absolutely no seasoning on them whatsoever. There wasn't even a pickle on the plate! A total waste of money. At least the lady serving did a nice job but there is no covering up for bland and expensive food. Someone with some sense needs to take over this once darling place--they have a great view in a neat building but that is all they have left going for them.
