since we moved here 27 years ago, dales has always been talked about as one of the finest restaurants in this area. the first time we went there i was astounded to find the butter and sour cream being delivered to our table by a waiter who spooned a big "plop" onto our plate from a bowl under his arm. also, it was so dark in there we could not see-maybe there is a reason for that. for business purposes i have attended dinners there in the group room. last week i had the worst meal i have ever had. how in the world would a "fine" restaurant serve a salad with nothing in it? lettuce and a few shreds of carrot and a couple of purple cabbage parts. the baked potato was at least a few days old having been reheated until someone came along to be the poor recipient. and the steak, oh my. do they ever clean the grill? it was stone cold and tasted horrible. and worse than anything, the whole restaurant was pitch dark, enough so that you can't see where to walk. and it had apparently had just been cleaned because of the lingering aroma of pinesol. sorry for the bad report but please, this can't be someone's idea of a fine restaurant.
