Broadway Grill

No.. My first mistake: Purchasing a "deal" through Restaurant dot com for $25 worth of food for the low low price of $10. For your benefit, I'll address the fine print about Restaurant dot com deals. 18% gratuity included, yes...regardless of the number in the dining party.



My second mistake: Hoping for a non-offensive dining experience with my young son on Broadway/Capital Hill. The Broadway Grill seems to strategically hire in-your-face flaming homosexual types, and attracts this type of patron as well. My son commented on the high number of same genders paired at the tables. One of the waiters, fortunately not ours, was wearing what seemed to be his little sister's jeans, cinched so tight as to force his lower body fat upwards. To look at him made me feel like I shouldn't eat another bite. 'But that wasn't quite enough, he had obviously also pulled up his underwear to cause it to be seen above the waist of his jeans, yet still not quite enough to cover his blushing pink butt crack.

My third mistake: Expecting at least average service considering the only moderately busy dining room. Wrong again. The waiter never followed up after tossing our plates on the table. When I finally flagged him down, I offered unsolicited commentary on the coffee, which was cooler than lukewarm, very bitter, and probably had been sitting for hours. He offered to make a fresh pot, but when he eventually brought a new cup, it was without creamer (as initially ordered). By the time the waiter responded to obvious cues for creamer, we were in need of to-go boxes as well. 'But why would he care? His $8.78 tip on my $21.20 bill had already been secured, thanks to Restaurant dot com. (Restaurant dot com forces the consumer to tip on the dining bill + the value of the coupon, which based on this experience, removes motivation of waitpersons to care about quality of service.)

Oh yeah. My son had fish and chips and I had the lobster macaroni, and we shared the calamari small plate. The food was marginal to bland. Overall, I would not visit the restaurant again. The flamoyant homosexual atmosphere actually affected our appetites, and the quality of the food and service simply didn't rate. (This system forces me to provide at least one star.) 'Hope this helps!…

New Owners - Really Big LOSS in Quality. I've eaten here before and generally enjoyed it, but under the new ownership there's been a really big loss in quality. We sat in the rear dining area. Combining the loud music blaring out and the other patrons talking we had to yell to hear each while dining.

I ordered the cajun fries as a side for my dish. They were lukewarm at best, not crispy and way too salty. Cajun flavor to me does not imply salty.

My partner got the calamari appetizer. They were dry and hard and not fresh and just plain sad.

Finally, I was given the wrong credit card charge receipt with my bill. I had to listen to an additional 10 minutes of that noise before I cold leave with the correct charge.…

I was really mad. Last time I go there. My wife and I sat down and I asked her what she wanted. She said "your the boss". My waitress said, "Well, I have never heard that before"... As if it is anyones business? Especially hers? Food was great!…
