Bad service-moderate food-not recommended
Living in Clayton gives us many choices in dining. A visit to Cardwell's tonight has to be among the worst experiences in Clayton. The waiter was uninformed as to the content or the price of any of the specials. When questioned on the price of the halibut special, he remarked "I dunno, twenty-thirty bucks, somthin' like that". (27.95)(It was good) He informed us the cold trio of summer soups was "about twelve to fourteen bucks". Okay pricey but sounds good, right? It was, literally, three chilled shot glasses of soup. (It was 6.95, still too much for three shots of soup). The mussel shells were one third empty and missing ones were not in the broth. The waiter then made a remark when I asked the price of the dessert special. No one had aked him the price of anything in the nine months he had worked there, he remarked. I did not realize I was so lucky to be eating there. How foolish of me.

I informed the manager but he said the waiter was one of his best.The place was nearly empty and I see why. Never again.    [28 Jul 2006 01:59:01]
