  Last night my wife and I went to Tony York’s Restaurant in Glendale with my brother and his wife for a nice Valentine dinner. My brother made a reservation two weeks in advance. The evening turned out to be a major disaster. First the wait staff was either stretched too thin or overworked. After being seated we had about a ten minutes wait before a waitress appeared to give us a menu and pour water followed by another ten minutes before she came back to take our order. The menu was pricey and we receive two menus with different prices for the same dishes apparently they marked the items up a couple of dollars for the Valentine weekend. They do not serve any alcoholic drinks but we could have brought our own wine which we did not know until we were seated. We were not offered any other drinks such as coffee or tea. We place our order and waited another 15 to 20 minutes before the waitress reappeared with our soup or salad. Meanwhile the table of 6 adjacent to us had arrived after us and had finished their soup and salads. My wife had the tomato basil soup ($7), which she rated as excellent and I had a Caesar salad ($8) which I consider to be adequate. My brother’s wife had house salad ($10) which was excellent. My brother could not have the soup or salad due the health reasons. Now came the big wait, about 45 minutes before the entres were served. Meanwhile, we were seated near the piano with a pianist playing good dinner music but overly loud on a slightly out of tune Wurlitzer grand piano. Apparently, she did not know the meaning of background music and did not know how to use the soft pedal. It was nearly impossible to carry on a conversation so it made the wait very unpleasant. Finally the entrees arrived. My wife and brother had the chicken Cordon Bleu with asparagus and rice ($20). My wife said hers was good but prepared in a quick way like a recipe out of Better Home ad Gardens cookbook. The Cordon Bleu was a flattened chicken breast and grilled with a piece of Canadian bacon (not ham) on top with a square slice of cheese on top and placed in a broiler until the cheese was rubbery. My brother’s Cordon Bleu was nearly inedible as the cheese was rubbery and the Canadian bacon was overcooked and dried out to the point that it could not be cut with a knife. The asparagus was tough and the rice was dried out from setting too long. My brother’s wife had the salmon ($24) which she rated as very good. My big disappointment was with my entre, chicken alfredo on fettucine ($20). The chicken was a flattened breast seasoned a grilled until it was over done and dried out. The alfredo sauce was unlike any I have ever had and I make chicken alfredo often and order it often in good Italian restaurants. The parmesan cheese was not melted as it was made from dried out cheese, the sauce was thin, lumpy and had little taste The pasta was overcooked and strips of fettucine that had stuck together in clumps and were not cooked. Over my wife’s objections I complained to the hostess who apologized and offered to serve me another dish but I refused as I did not want another 45 minute wait. The waitress came and apologized and offered another entre but I refused so she took my entre off of the check. The shock was that on my brother’s check was a $50 annual membership fee, which he was aware of but I found to be ludicrous for the poor food and service. Overall, this was one of the worst dinning experiences I have had in recent memory. I believe I know a good food as my wife and I have traveled extensively, having recently been in Budapest, Vienna and Prague where the food was excellent. I do not know how Tony York can call this an upscale restaurant. Save your money and eat in Louisville where there are real restaurants.
