Bradford House

Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : The Bradford House is a unique experience and one in which we enjoyed staying. The staff checking in was exemplary. The bartender was very nice, and she made a good drink. She respected that I was driving and pointed out that they had several non-alcoholic libations for the designated drivers. Check out was a breeze, and we would stay again.
  : After looking for unusual places to eat, we determined that eating at The Bradford House restaurant would be a good choice due to needing to be at The Civic Center at a certain time. After the reviews, we were expecting a top-notch experience. Alas, we were left sorely wanting. We were shown to a table that had a pretty severe list to the east. The waitress was very nice but didn't seem well versed in the menu. My wife went for the Filet, and she ordered it with fries instead of the sides offered. She ordered it medium rare without the pepper corn sauce. I ordered the salmon. Her steak arrived well done and covered in pepper corn sauce, which looked more like a gravy than a sauce. That stuff was thick, and it was cold. Once the food arrived, we weren't checked on to see how our food was. When we were finally able to flag our waitress down and showed her the steak, she agreed it was overdone. She said she would see what they could do, and we told her that we didn't have time for them to cook. another one. The waitress spoke with the manager, and they discounted the steak by $13.02. Maybe we are just used to eating at great steak houses, but when we are paying $44.00 for a steak and fries, it better be good, very good. The best thing on either of our plates was the fries, and they weren't even fresh cut fries. They were frozen. After our experience with the dinner, we chose not to experience breakfast. That might be a completely different story but not one we were willing to take a chance on.
