A tale of two restaurants\n\nThe Library used to have really good eats. \n\nUsed to.\n\nBut I went there for the first time in a couple years recently and was appalled with my meal. I ordered the scarlet letter:\n\nThe Scarlet Letter - 16\nCheese stuffed tortellini, spinach and mushrooms with a roasted red pepper cream sauce\nAdd chicken 5, portobello 5, salmon 8, shrimp 8, or scallops 12\n\nLets start with the tortellini, low grade frozen crud improperly cooked.\nRed pepper cream sauce? Heavy cream cut with milk that was three days away from bad (I have cooked for a living for twelve years you can't fool me) and mixed with some okay marinara.\n*also charged me four or five dollars for \"extra spinach\" \nThe worst part was the fact that the garlic and shallot were not even remotely sauteed and overpowered any semblance of flavor that might have otherwise existed. Gag-worthy.\n\nC'mon now.\n\n\nThe cheese plate :\nOf Mice and Men - 14\nProsciutto, capicola, genoa, assorted cheese and marinated olives drizzled with olive oil and served with two stuffed cherry peppers\n\nExcept that's not what it was.\nIt was a handful of really mediocre green olives, water pressed spicy ham, hockey puck salami and not a trace of Prosciutto or stuffed peppers anywhere to be found.\nThe cheese was a joke but not a funny one.\n\nThis meal was actually offensive to me. Maybe you can trick some drunk college kids but not me. \n\nIf you are going to buy the cheapest ingredients you can find at the restaurant depot at least price the menu accordingly. And teach your cooks how to actually cook food properly.\n\nWill never be back sorry boutcha
