We went to the packing house on Saturday for a celebratory dinner. My husband had never dined here before but I had been before but not for many years. Truth be told, I don’t think the place lived up to what I remembered. Our server was given our table due to someone else being sick or something. The server assistant was good but I think our waiter was a little goofy to be completely frank. He kept telling us weird tangents and talking about going to the dermatologist this week. Very odd. I feel like I know far too much about this man than necessary. Lounge band was decent. Bar staff was quick. Ok now on to the food. Our table had 4 diners total. We split some appetizers which included the escargot , which I felt was the best appetizer, the bacon water chestnuts were good as well, but the crab stuffed mushrooms I felt were too fishy tasting this time, and the French onion soup was so salty that we didn’t even finish it. Salads were decent but more lettuce than anything else, one tomato one cucumber on it. Bread I think was good that was served to the table. As far as entrees, I know you are a steak house, but my husband and I wanted to try some other items. I had the scallops which were tender but the linguine it came with was too buttered I would have preferred a sauce on it. Husband had ribs he liked those but the fries were too soft not crispy enough. Other diners had beef Wellington which I’ve never ate so I don’t know what that is, and a steak but she said it was kind of salty. I didn’t do a dessert I had an after dinner drink of a tom and Jerry that wasn’t made correctly or served in a hot drink cup. I guess I just remember it differently. It was overall decent but I think there’s better choices in town.
In my first visit there since my first communion dinner in 1980 (which included my late grandmother), the place took a step up from it 's atmosphere I remember way back then, they really made the effort I loved the live music! I was joined by a married couple who I 'am good friends with as well as my 22 yr old daughter. I had the beef wellington which was out of this world! The vegetables, fries on the side were very delicious; the crab stuffed mushrooms bacon wrapped water chestnuts for appetizers, just as good! The salads were fresh tasty. The only item I got to eat that was a little off were the mashed potatoes which had lumps in them were a little dry (my daughter gave me those anyway she ate everything else). Oh, I forgot, the banana cream pie sealed off a great evening there (don 't tell my Dr. I ate the pie). I believe there was an absentee where another server went home just as we were seated thus making our server have to do double duty, but after a little bit of a slow start with us, he a few other staffers made sure we were adequately served for the rest of the stay. In reality, this should be a 4 1/2 star rating I 'm giving The Packing House. Next time, I 'l be sure to get the shredded onions to go with my beef wellington, just have the ketchup ready please!
