Dirty dishes. Diner-quality food (at best). Uncomfortable seating. Skip it.
This place went downhill. We come here for the seafood pasta dish and split it because it is so huge but after this time we were quite disappointed and don't think we will be returning. They skimped on the portion, and they were missing crab legs so our waiter said that they would compensate with the other fish, well there was practically no fish in there. The portion was almost half the size it used to be and for being over $35 there should be a buttload of fish in there. The sauce was bland and tasted fake. The chicken cutlet parm was not bad but still the sauce was sub par.
They really need a restaurant makeover.
I recently visited Wander Inn for my godmother's bridal party. Although it is an Italian restaurant, its old wooden decor made me feel as if I was in one of the first Outbacks ever made. You know the picture of the very first restaurant you see hanging up when you visit a restaurant with the owners standing in front with hats & suspenders, looking like cowboys from the early 1900s? Well that's the feel I got from this place.
The party was held in their party room in the back. There were about 50 of us in there comfortably. The owner and staff were very friendly and accommodating from the very begining. I just wasn't a fan of the food but mostly everyone else really enjoyed it.
We had a buffet style setup for the food. I tried the eggplant parmigiana, chicken smothered in a mushroom sauce, the shrimp scampi with broccoli and pasta and the salad. I personally didn't like the sauce in the eggplant parmigiana; I don't like mushroom and the mushroom taste was too overwhelming; The scampi was too buttery, and I didn't like the balsamic vinaigrette for the salad but they gave me French instead.
I probably won't return to this restaurant but the shower went very well.
My wife and I went to dinner yesterday to wander inn with a groupon certificate. The restaurant itself is OK looking if not a bit dark and drab. We started out with a French onion soup which was excellent. We then ordered two dinners of eggplant parm and spaghetti and meatballs with eggplant that came with salads. The Caesar salad was good however the house salad was uninspired and rather drab.The eggplant parm was Ok but was rather salty. The spaghetti with meatballs was OK but not great.Service was very good and was responsive.The price to value ratio is about average for this type of restaurant.All in all this was an OK experience and I will be returning in the near future.
It was my first time here (and my parents and Aunt used to come 20-25 years ago.)
We ordered fried calamari. It was perfectly done. Crispy and hot.
Then we waited 15 minutes, the waiter came over and said our food would be out shortly when my aunt responded saying "Where are our salads?" And he looked so embarrassed and brought our salads right out.
The Caesar salad was delicious and the dressing was great. The house salads were good too with balsamic vinegarette.
Next our entrees came, my aunt got the chicken francaise, which was probably the best entree that we ordered. It was tender and the sauce was good. My dad ordered the Veal Parm, he said it was good but it needed to be pounded out more with a meat tenderizer. I got the penne ala vodka. Not all vodka sauces are the same, I know that but this one was a yellow color. It almost tastes more like a pasta with cheddar cheese and smokey bacon, not vodka sauce with prosciutto. My mom ordered the Eggplant Parm. It had a very funny taste. Even just having your face over it was bad. The waiter kindly exchanged it for a Chicken Parm to go.
The waiter was very nice. He refilled our drinks a few times.
We have plenty of family and friends who live in Baldwin and love this place but we unfortunately left unimpressed. I think we need to figure out what's the good items to order.
