Well, really both the beans and the rolls. They come so early in the meal that I've had to ration them to myself so I don't fill up on those before anything comes out of the kitchen.<br /><br />The restaurant can't wholly take the blame for the monochromatic tone on the plate as I chose my side. They did make the effort to sprinkle on some chopped parsley after all.<br /><br />Vegetables were available as a side (also available a la carte), but I was in a risotto mood for this meal.Tinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07230553378930796656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762518953396643054.post-75744289694865666682010-08-30T17:41:01.366-04:002010-08-30T17:41:01.366-04:00I lived in Portage Lakes many moons ago, and Anthe...I lived in Portage Lakes many moons ago, and Anthe's was considered pretty upscale in an area known for chicken houses and burger and beer bars. <br /><br />I'm glad to see the classic kidney bean salad and sourdough rolls remain (my husband referred to the rolls as gut bombs).<br /><br />The first thing that jumped out at me regarding your entree wasn't the cup of tartar sauce (strange, and unnecessary, but I bet they were asked for it more than once and it became habit), but the monochromatic and unimaginative plating. <br /><br />Something green on that plate would have been welcome. Are vegetables ala carte?DineInDivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455567651099532923noreply@blogger.com
