My review is of the Christmas prix fixe dinner. For $26 you get appetizer, soup or salad, choice of entree, dessert and "a cocktail." I put quotes around that last item because a lot of the people in my group of 16 ordered a cocktail with dinner, only to find out after getting the check that we were charged $6 per drink. We asked our waitress about what obviously looked like a billing error and she said that those of us who had ordered an iced tea or a soda before ordering our cocktail were charged separately for our cocktails because that soda or iced tea counts as "a cocktail" for the menu's purpose. What the what? Since when have Pepsi and Lipton manufactured cocktails? Very dishonest way for Primarily Prime Rib to make more money off of a fixed-price menu. If they and the menu would've been honest upfront and said "one beverage (alcoholic or nonalcoholic)," there wouldn't have been any problem; some of us would've still ordered a cocktail, knowing it was going to be charged at full price. As for the food, the spinach dip was good; the salad was salad; the turkey dinner was okay--stuffing tasted like gooey Stove Top, cranberry sauce tasted like oversweetened cranberry jelly, baked potato and mashed potatoes were good; the chocolate cake was superrich and tasty. If not for the "gotcha" with the drink situation, I would give them another star.
How would this review be described in terms of sentiment?
