Cafe Deluxe Tyson's

May be it was just a lousy, rainy day. Or may be it really isn't as good as it used to be. I'm getting tired of making excuses for places we used to like - a lot! We always worried we would never find restaurants we liked as much as the ones we frequented in Milwaukee. Cafe Deluxe became one of those here. We tried going to the one located in Tysons for lunch last Friday, but couldn't find a parking place, so we left. Because it has a covered parking area, we tried again today because of the rain, sleet, and snow mix. There was only one parking spot left when we arrived, and it was going on 1 PM. We ended up waiting close to 30 minutes and getting entertained by toddlers throwing around the pagers that are given to customers to let them know the table is ready. We were finally seated, and were handed menus with different items. It was so loud we were hardly able to have a conversation. My husband did not like the Greek salad he usually gets. The turkey BLT was substituted with a turkey Reuben. We don't care for mussels, and they were front and center. I left my comments on the feedback card after being asked by the manager. I'm hoping this was an unusual day rather than what might turn in to a routine. We haven't been having much luck lately. The food is all tasting mainstream and airplane like rather than unique and interesting. We had the same experience at Hawk and Dove earlier this week. When going out becomes a hassle, we'll need to decide if it's worth it. But what will we do when we have out of town visitors? Darn it!
