Effie's Restaurant & Bar

Be careful ordering from this place for delivery. We just bought 2 of the $34 seafood salads and Effies gave us no dressing... really....? Expensive salad 2 & no dressing. Nope.

3/18/2022 at 11:00am. The only place offering prime rib every day. It's been around 1988. Furniture have been reupholstered. Only place offering cloth napkins for breakfast and lunch. One of the few place offering fine dining at standard pricing

We really wanted to like Effie's because the retro atmosphere is really cool; however, we've been to Effie's 3 times and won't return again. The first 2 times, the wait staff were wonderful: a tall, older gentleman who has been with Effie's for years and a waitress who had just started. Both were delightful. On both occasions, we overlooked the flaws in the food; for example, the couscous in my salad was not cooked at all, just thrown on the salad. The champagne cocktail was good. The second time the calamari and shrimp scampi were OK, and at the time, they offered La Crema chardonnay, which is an everyday, drinkable wine. Our last visit on April 10th, the food was not good (I won't go into detail here but i could); the mixed drinks tasted watered down; La Crema was no longer on the menu (substituted for another which I didn't drink after 1 sip) and our waitress could have cared less. She was very rude and confrontational. We asked for the manager, who was not there at the time. Her response: " they're not going to do anything just because you don't like the wine." We were stunned. After asking for his name 3 times, we got a phone number (restaurant) scribbled on a piece of paper, no name and delivered with a major attitude. This restaurant is way over-priced for the quality of food, drink and negative attitude we experienced the last time. Again, we wanted to like Effie's but just won't go back. Parking: We had no problem parking although we the restaurant was not busy all 3 times we were there.
