Disappointed; hamburgers were overcooked, fries were soggy and rolls were served cold, not toasted. We have had better burgers there and elsewhere.

The sommelier needs some lessons. She opened our wine and then took it away and poured it out without us seeing it. Then she took away the carafe when it still had wine in it and then added a new bottle again not in front of us. Such bad training. Very disappointing.

This was our second dinner at Ardelia’s. This evening we had the Caesar salad, the lamb shank with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and the apple crisp for dessert. Husband had Pinot noir and I had a mocktail that the bartender made for me. Both were excellent. We throughly enjoyed our dinner. Our server, Abdullah, was very attentive.
