ALL THINGS FOOD

I had been waiting to try the food here! My friend Bryant called me up and invited me to join him and a colleague at Devon's. We didn't wait long, and the white wine that I chose to complete my entree was more than satisfying. The conversation was nice and the music went well with the atmosphere. Our server was less than good but we dealt with her missteps. The anticipation was overwhelming as I could taste my food even before it left the kitchen. In a restaurant with a eighty person capacity - there were only about twenty guess either enjoying or waiting to enjoy a meal.

Finally, the moment came, my meal looked as delightful as it was described from the menu. The salmon was cooked well despite the very large half of lemon used to decorate the plate. The potato mash was pedestrian at best. The scallops were undercooked as well as the grilled shrimp that enveloped them. The high light of the meal was the crab cake, which needed salt and the spinach bed gone! Over all, I would have to rate my entree a 2.5 out of 7. I would suggest the food at Red Lobster would be better for a meal that cost over a hundred USD. This was just one meal out of many that Devon's offers. Not sure if I'll try it again!

(Taste & Service Rating = TSR 2.5 out of 7)
recommend: not today!
