Old Pueblo Grille

Made reservation for table on patio for 29th wedding anniversary....got table inside next to toilets!   Shrimp under cooked so good thing next to toilet!   They r also having rotary club meeting just down hall from table which also sits next to kitchen....only thing I hear is clanking plates and loud talking people.....horrible 29th dinner!!!!!!!

I recently joined a networking group that meets here twice a month for a lunch meeting, so I have been here twice so far.

We've had the same server both times. While his service is efficient, both times he has seemed kind of bummed out or stressed or something. I haven't seen him smile or upbeat yet. Service is really important to me. I will take good service over happy service, but happy service sure enhances the dining experience. That being said, my iced tea never went empty and my plate was cleared promptly.

I had the Southwestern Steak Salad. It looked appetizing enough. The temperature of the romaine lettuce and spinach was not as cool as I like and they were lacking crispness. The baby tomatoes were ripe and the mushrooms were roasted to perfection. The pepitas added a contrast in texture and they tasted a teeny tiny bit spicy - maybe that was the "southwestern" part of the salad.

The steak was okay. The server did not ask me how I wanted it cooked. It came out cooked well around the edges and medium well in the middle. That's a little too done for my taste, but overall the steak was enjoyable.

We meet in the private dining room off to the right of the women's restroom, which is overall in acceptable condition. I've noticed pieces of the art on the wall askew. Also, there is a place on the west wall of the room that looks as if it had been repaired and the paint doesn't quite match. Stuff like that always catches my eye. Overall, this room meets our needs comfortably.

Went to OPG for Father's Day a few days ago.  My dad wanted to go there for fish n chips cuz 'they serve cod'....haha.  So my dad and husband both got the fish n chips and I got the tortilla soup.  We were pretty easy! :)

When the food came out, I was really worried because their fish looked really brown and I was hoping that it didn't have a burned taste.  But nope, the men just loved it! Whew!  They loved the breading on it and said the cole slaw was great too...so as far as I was concerned, YAY!  

My soup.....well......it had everything in it to be glorious! Lots of veggies and chicken, but as an avid cook myself, you MUST season more! Maybe some cajun seasonings...maybe some chicken stock....at the very least salt!!!  I asked for limes and then for hot sauce, and kept squeezing and squeezing them and shaking hot sauce to give it some flavor.  It had all the basics as far as the content, so it was shocking that it didn't have any flavor.  Tortilla soup should have a little kick to it. Maybe I should have gotten the poblano soup?   Anyway, between the 3 of us, my hubby rated his meal a 5, my dad a 4 and me a 3.  

Last but not least, our server was Ricky, who was very attentive, very friendly, courteous and professional!  He gave us 2 certificates for $10 off our next visit and I am hoping that we will get back soon and use them on the same visit!
