Remember my recommendation of the Horseshoe Bar Grill in Loomis? They have a
new head chef, driving away the guy who'd been doing such a stellar job. I
ate there last night, and the new guy is a thousand times worse. Don't go
there.
Concrete criticisms:
The menu listed a crab and sweet pea panna cotta, which I ordered. The
waiter showed up with a lobster burrito (which he called a "blini"😉 and said
that the panna cotta wasn't supposed to still be on the menu. It wasn't
good.
Had a "mahi mahi bouillabaise" which contained no shellfish of any kind,
only a chunk of what was purportedly mahi mahi. It was WAY too salty.
My date ordered a medium-rare steak. She got a medium-well steak.
The desserts were on a par with a school cafeteria. I ordered a mixed-berry
strudel which turned out to be a mixed-berry crisp -- NOT AT ALL what I
ordered. My date's lemon [censored] was indistinguishable from a commercial [censored]
shell with commercial lemon curd dolloped in.
Well, they gave us a BIG discount on our wine, but my opinion of the place
has plummeted. I'll give the new guy a month or two to hit his stride and
see if things improve. If not, I'll sadly have to write the place off.
