Marathon Restaurant Guide

My family and I went to Annette's for dinner on 1/1/2008. I ordered the prime rib. It was the worst piece of meat I've ever seen. It was also almost raw. I told the waiter (Jim) that I didn't like the way the meat looked. He said "prime rib always has lots of fat." He took it away and brought it back ten minutes later cooked a bit more. It was inedible. I'm lucky, because everyone else in my family complained of stomach aches when we got back to our hotel. Annette's prices are for a decent restaurant, but the food quality is below a Denny's or Sizzler. The waiter wouldn't stop talking. Even when we didn't respond he kept on talking about how he was from New Jersey and on and on and on -- completely annoying. He also didn't tell us when we ordered entrees that if we wanted a soufle for desert we needed to order ahead of time because it takes 20 minutes to make. I was actually happy about this because the food was so bad. Also bad is the decor. Everything is dark wood, floor, ceiling, walls, table, etc. It's very depressing. From the road the place looks like a bunker. The only reason we went there was because my daughter read a review about the dessert and we wanted to please her. The bathroom was filthy and the trash basket was overflowing. Even though there were plenty of tables we were seated at a corner table next to an exit door. $135 dollars later -- I had the worst dining experience in recent memory and on top of it all I never got to eat my dinner -- because it was totally disgusting.
