bad meal. thursday 2/27/14
took 2 friends to the spunky monkey restaurant in auburn, wa, wow was that a big mistake. if there were a negative number i would post it. the restaurant was featured as a “restaurant makeover on restaurant impossible”, so i thought it was going to be inviting “not”.
we walked in and there was no one to greet you, headed to the dining area, where a man in dirty clothes said “it’s closed, go up to the bar” this was at 6:20pm). we went up stairs to the bar, waited to be seated, took a few minutes, (only 5 people in the bar 4 staff members); we were seated in a booth which had a broken table.
after we ordered, it took the kitchen staff 45minutesto deliver our meal; i have to give the wait staff credit, a couple of staff members, kept apologizing about the wait.
i ordered, beef & blue burger (salsa was slimy – scrapped it off) burger was cook per order, but the 5 wedges on the plate 2 cooked 3 raw (gross).
my friends order the fish sandwich, fish was dry, roll seemed to be day old, the other ordered steak, and it was as tough as shoe leather, veggies over cooked.
this restaurant is not inviting, very poor quality of food preparation and extremely long period of time between order and delivery.
i paid the bill, because i was so embarrassed about the place i chose for guest.
i would not recommend this place ever!
i will also be sending the show restaurant impossible a cc of this post.
