Question

He first dish was supposed to be creamy tomato soup; however, it was being prepared astoundingly slow in a kitchen supposedly renowned for excellent food and service. Today of all days, the restaurant decided to work at a snail’s pace to create any entrée. By the time the soup came out, it was already cold. The dish had great potential with its tomato base, but it was executed very poorly. The soup was just bland. The second course was grilled salmon with steamed vegetables. Again, this unremarkable dish was served cold and was under seasoned. The dessert course was unimpressive and lacked flavor. Overall, the experience at Le Pleut proved to be disappointing because its courses lacked all of the components to make a great meal.
