Rich's Cafe

Second visit to the restaurant.  My dad and I came for lunch on a Friday afternoon at noon.  The parking lot was packed, and we expected a wait - but were immediately escorted to a table.  The waitress took our order quickly, but had a problem with my drink order.  I started my order by saying that I wanted a diet coke and a beef manhatten.  My dad then ordered, and she repeated my order saying that I had ordered an iced tea.  I said that I had ordered a diet coke, and she said "oh, that's right".  The restaurant was busy, but it seemed like they had a good handle on it - good servers, bus staff and kitchen was getting things out quickly.  When the server brought our drinks, there was the iced tea.  That's ok - I like iced tea and I didn't want to make a big deal out of it.  Funny thing, is that the night before at Qui's, the exact same thing happened - I got iced tea instead of what I really ordered. Hmmmm - I must  look like I need an iced tea.
The  manhattens came out and looked pretty good.  However, the mashed potato "scoop" was kind of hard on the outside.  The gravy was ok, but the meat was tough and stringy.  Now, those of you that have read my reviews know I love me a good manhatten - and this was just not up to snuff.  It was ok - but the beef could and should have been much better.
I will give it another try some day, but this didn't make me want to try again any time soon.

Great food. Good service.
