McMenamins Tavern on 1716 N.W. 23rd, Portland, OR
Last night we had the worst meal. My son and I invited two singers, Diane and Dee, to join us at McMenamins Tavern on 1716 N.W. 23rd after the concert about 8:45PM.
We got the menus rather promptly and the waiter was anxious to bring us drinks. After serving the drinks it seemed like forever for the waiter to return to take our orders.
The food was terrible. My son ordered chili which came warm not hot. I ordered one-half tuna sandwich which came with brunt grill marks w/ drippy tuna, too much sliced onion, hard green tomato slice and very little lettuce. The tomato and rice soup was cold. My soda crackers were not in wrappers. The waiter said that he had taken the liberty of unwrapping them. They come two to a package so I should have been given four soda cracker instead of three. It was like I had been given someone's leftover soda crackers. Dee’s cup of tomato and rice soup was also cold. And the fries were dark brown, thin, lukewarm, and limp and the fish undercooked on Diane’s fish and chips.
It took forever to get the bill from the waiter and then it took forever to get the waiter to get our credit cards. We finally stood up to get the waiter’s attention.
I had requested that my meal and my son’s meal put on a separate check as I planned to pay for our meals with my credit card. The other two women were going to pay separately. However it all came on one bill. I circled the items that I would pay for. The waiter did not seem to grasp why he only ended up with three credit cards.
Last night’s Chef would not last one night on "Hell’s Kitchen". Serving hot food cold and undercooked fish is unacceptable.
