I was really disappointed with the Chicken Alfredo. The penne wasn’t properly strained, which led to a mess of textures—watery at the bottom, dry in the middle, and a thin layer of sauce just sitting on top. It was sloppy and honestly unpleasant to eat.
One of the fundamentals of a good Alfredo is tossing the pasta into the sauce. That didn’t happen here. It felt more like the components were assembled separately, rushed and fell flat.
The chicken was another issue—it was overcooked and either shredded or pulled apart rather than sliced into even portions, resulting in a dry, stringy texture. The taste and texture oddly reminded me of canned tuna, which was off-putting and definitely not what you want in a chicken Alfredo. This makes me think it may have been stored too long or kept near seafood. Either way, it was unappetizing.
Even the salad, which should’ve been the easiest part to get right, missed the mark. It was basic iceberg lettuce, which is fine, but it hadn’t been properly dried after washing. It was watery, soggy, and the dressing just slid right off. Drying greens is one of the simplest but most important steps in making a salad—wet lettuce ruins both the texture and the flavor.
To make things worse, my salad dressing was in a side cup but placed inside the wrong meal’s container, leaving me without dressing. The bread came in its own paper container, but neither it nor the dressing should have been sitting on top of my pasta.
On a brighter note, the cheesecake was excellent—rich, creamy, and satisfying. Honestly, it almost made me wonder if they even make it in-house.
The canned Coke was cold and refreshing.
Altogether, the main course and salad felt careless and poorly assembled, but the dessert and drink were spot on. Hopefully, they can tighten up the basics to match the quality of their sweets.
