Garden house, Cedar City UT.

Celebrating a anniversarry typically involves a romantic evening, However last night, was anything but!

We visited The Garden House,

Finally the hostess seats us letting us know our server will be with us shortly, Ten minutes later, still no server, 15 minutes still no server, I casually comment that perhaps its time to just eat the bread and head for the door, WOO HOO Waiter arrives! Grayson seemed stressed but still managed a nice warm friendly smile, he tells us the specials, by this time we both knew exactly what we wanted.. the starter arrives;

Baked Brie, A slice of French Brie wrapped in phylo pastry..
This is by far my favorite food, somewhat excited I pick up my knife and attempt to eat.. While the pastry was indeed cooked the brie itself was not, very cold and well, dry..

The salad was amazing but can you really go wrong with fresh lettuce, onions, cucumbers and cherry tomatos?

A young couple clearly on there first date arrive, Excellent entertainment!

Have to add at this point drinks had still not arrived... Again casually mentioning the lack of drinks, Grayson soon comes over apologizing profusively he forgot the drinks we ordered..

Charlie ordered chicken fried steak which came with mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies.. I ordered red trout with pilaf rice and seasonal veggies...

Charlie had few complaints, perhaps I am too picky about food, last I checked rice typically isn't served dried and burnt and veggies served still frozen, the trout was a little dry and had a dried out piece of lemon butter on the top, however still enjoyable. When Grayson finally came back to check on us (almost an hour later) we let him know of the frozen veggies and dried burnt rice and he smiled sweetly, "Thanks for letting me know" turned and walked away...

Somehow I don't think we'll go back!


The best part of dinner..

The young couple on first date;

Him, Yeah I own a drumset..

Her, Oh do you play?

Him, Well duh!
