“that salmon was truly one of the best I’ve ever had. The butter sauce was magical, and the crunchy seeded topping brought it all together.”

“Food was bad but the service was laughably bad. Rude servers, put dishes out while two people were in the bathroom so that they came back to cold quail, never came back around for us to order more cocktails.”

replying to u/right_meowr: Musket room. So disappointing.
“Agreed. Dunno if I caught them on a bad night or if I went at a time the menu was just uninspired, but I could have had a similar meal for a third of the price at any neighborhood gastropub.”

replying to u/One-Tumbleweed5980: I went to the Musket Room. It's a good price point. That's it. The food was good but I didn't find that it was anything to write home about. I wouldn't even go back. It's good to try once for a budget Michelin experience.
