The cottage

Last night, Monday may 11, 2008 (mother's day) My family and I went to The Cottage located at 190 Linden Street Wellesley MA 02482 that can be reached at (781) 239-1100. When we first walked in we found out that they normally don't accept reservations but that didn't matter on that night. After we were seated in the main room we sat down and the first thing we noticed was that the seat was very comfortable BUT very low with a highish table making it a little akward. Afterwards we observed that the place was very noisy and it wasn't very crowded when we went at 8:00At the beginning of the meal we had one waitress take our drink order then our real waiter cam along a minute later apologizing for the hold up and the confusion. This statement was very weird because we weren't there very long before this happened and usually we wait a long time. Other than that the service was very good except that he never noticed i had run out of pepsi but i didn't really care. What my family and I ordered was: 2 Sodas, Grolsch, GL Alisa Pinot Grigio, Homemade Guacamole & chips, Aloha Chicken Tenders, 2 Organic Arugula Salad, Ribeye Steak, Cottage Fish Tacos, Classic Cheeseburger, Chocolate Souffle Cake, and Coffee Decaf. With this order our subtotal was 109.20 and then the tax was 5.46 making the total 114.66, which is very expensive. I was the one that ordered the Chicken Tenders for an appetizer and the ribeye steak for the main course and the chocolate Souffle Cake while we shared the Homemade Guacamole & chips. The chips were very good as well as the guacamole and i am not that big of fan of guacamole. Afterwards i ate the chicken tenders which were very good at first, then got really bad with the last few pieces. After finishing that the steak showed up and the first few bites were delicious but near the end it was very bad. When my cake arrived it was the exact same thing which pissed me off so much. When my parents finished their meal and had some of mine they said it was good and my sister said the same thing about her half-eaten cheeseburger. Overall, i think it was pretty bad but that is just my opinion.
