Ruined my birthday
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

05/02/2008 Posted by roxborough

I have eaten at the Valley Green Inn several times in the past and always had a great time. This evening my husband took me there for dinner for my birthday. The waitress was great! The bread was stale, the salad took 30 minutes to arrive and then my dinner took an hour. I understand that duck is not as tender as chicken however I don't believe it needs to be wrestled into submission so therefore I only had a few bites. The string beans still had the end and stem on it! The mashed potatoes I don't think were supposed to be reminiscent of salt and vinegar chips (with extra salt) and my husbands steak was not medium rare it was raw! When I had the gall to look unhappy about my food taking an hour I was told by the women I believe was the maitre de that "It is cooked to order you know". Well, I don't know whose order it was but they must not like food! After that attitude why bother complaining about the food when it finally arrived. Especially, as we had to leave quickly to pick up our children and would not have time or desire for something else. In sum, the waitress was great however, I will not be eating there again!

Pros: The waitress was great under trying circumstances

Cons: For those prices I want edible food
