I chose Sutton's Restaurant for my wife's and my 49th wedding anniversary dinner because of the high ratings and reviews that others had left. I was disappointed.
Upon entering, I noticed that both glass entry doors were heavily smudged with handprints. Inside the door was...a double stack of perhaps eight cases of cutlery. The floor appeared dusty as if it had not been recently mopped.
The hostess was very friendly and engaged in cheerful and humorous banter. Our waitress, Terra, came to us quickly and was engaging, knowledgeable and friendly. We found that she was from our neck-of-the-woods.
I ordered spaghetti with meat balls and my wife ordered baked spaghetti with one meat ball. I warned her against more because my experience with other places is to receive huge, tasty meatballs. I was disappointed. Our meatballs were small, tough to chew and not as tasty as I had hoped. My meat sauce seemed a little greasy and not as fresh-tasting as I expected. My wife, however, was satisfied with the flavor of her spaghetti sauce and her meatball, although disappointed about the small size.
While there, I watched two employees have a testy exchange right in front of us with another cluster of four standing around a table behind us, talking quietly but with looks that I took to be discontentment on their faces. They did not appear to be happy at all.
With the exception of the two wonderful employees with whom I reacted, the whole experience was a let-down for me, and I apologized to my wife for the dinner choice.More
