They All Can't Be Perfect

Sometimes you go to a restaurant and your server just isn’t that pleasant. Sometimes it feels like the server just doesn’t want to be there and that serving your table a hassle. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how good the desserts are when the server makes you feel as if you and your friends are an inconvenience to her. At least that’s how I now feel about Seatown Seabar & Rotisserie, the seventh stop on the #tourdetom.

The triple coconut cream pie with white chocolate and toasted coconut is a must have and I did notice it was at several other Tom Douglas places so you can avoid the not-so-nice server at Seatown.

Side Note: Seatown was the one restaurant on the tour that was an unannounced visit. Herschell Taghap, Social Media Manager for Tom Douglas Restaurants, had a list of the tour stops and let the restaurant managers know when we were going to be visiting. Seatown was not on the list and an executive decision was made the day of to try to fit it in on the tour.

The hostesses were super nice and we had two people recognize us and even comp’d us a dessert, but what we all took away from the experience was the server’s attitude toward us. Boo.

Lola. Lola. Lola.
I had heard Lola was "the place for brunch." It was busy when we went around noon on Sunday. Our reservations for 12:15 and we were seated by 12:45. While we waited for our table, we sat in the lobby of Hotel Ändra and watched people check out.
Since it was lunch, I opted for the lamb kabobs. However I did split an order of pancakes with a coworkers daughter. The kabobs were good, but the pancakes and the maple sausage were better. I've been around the block and love me some good pancakes and sausage, this was the ultimate pancake and sausage plate. It was so good that I forgot to be bothered by the waiter not ever filling my water glass.

The food at Lola was great, but I'd only go back if I could find a time that was less busy as it took what seemed like forever to order and receive food.

That's all I got...
