It's worth coming to this restaurant because of good crab cakes, egg rolls and smoked salmon salads. Try tasty apple pie, white chocolate bread pudding and chocolate waffles. A collection of delicious martinis, american ale or draft beer is provided to guests. Based on the guests' opinions, waiters offer great chocolate frappe, ice tea or americano.
sweetwater tavern short smoked salmon recipe
I've always been underwhelmed by the food at these places, to the point where they are all redundant (short smoked salmon anyone?) and it's difficult to find something worth eating on the menu. I've been to at least six of them, they are almost always crowded and overly noisy, and finding something to eat other than short smoked salmon on cloyingly sweet salad or too salty drunken ribeye is difficult. I once tried the pork chops at Silverado, thinking they would be a nice change of pace, and they were cooked to an inedible dryness. At least at Clyde's, most of the entrees have different sides carefully matched with the entree. Not at GAR....
Some people have a soft spot for the GAR chain. I personally find them appalling. First, they are uniformly too noisy for a pleasant meal with conversation. Second, I swear there's a trained monkey in the kitchen of each one of them, with one hand in a bucket of sun-dried cranberries and the other hand in a bucket of salt, making sure that each dish that comes out of the kitchen gets one or both flung at it to excess. Third, the creativity of menus are cringe-worthy -- must I have short-smoked salmon on every menu and all over it, and must I have those vapid garlic mashed potatoes as my side for every entree? Fourth, the quality of most ingredients conjures up the Sysco truck, at best. I could go on, but why bother? This is a religious war around here, and I am decidedly anti-GAR. And getting back to the heart of this topic, I have had better meals at M&S Grill than I've had at Mike's or Sweetwater or Silverado.
I find this restaurant group to be atrocious. The same basic boring menu at every restaurant, with salads that can't exist without sundried cranberries (yuk!), short smoked salmon (whatever that is) all over every menu, the same unimaginative redskin mashed potatoes for every side dish, a sandwich menu that doesn't have a sandwich worth ordering and far too much salt on every entree. And this is at every one of their restaurants, each of which add the additional dining enjoyment of deafening noise. I can't imagine the draw of these places, and I equate their food with TGI Fridays or Applebees.
