Bad food in Mendocino

So here is a story of the worst 150 dollars ever spent. This restaurant known as St. orress in Gualala, ca(middle of nowhere)
produced one of the oddest meals i have ever had.

Starters $15/piece
The mushroom ravioloi(their signature dish that the waiters have to fight over............right...............) this dish was o.k
The crab cakes (Honestly I would have to say the Van Kamps fish sticks are a bit better). Zero stars for the taste and 5 stars for the nice squiggly designs on the plates.

Prix Fixe Menu 45 bucks
Hot fennel soup (Safeway soup will smash on this crap).
The worst thing of all was after serving us our appetizers and soup, they gave us this watermelon aruguale goatcheese
thing. This think looked great, but then after eating all these different hot/cold items and 7 wineries, this cooling effect the watermelon gave us made us want to puke. Both of went to the restoom after this but luckily nothing bad happened. However ,
flushing these toilets were extremely weird. They have a tubes that go along te back of the toilet and a big white porcelain box.
We then found out after much investigation that u must pull this giant lever to flush the toilet(made me wanna puke even more).
We come back to our seats and we get ready for our entrees. She got filet mignon and i got lamb. Both were overcooked and lacked much flavor. I returned my dish. The worst thing is that the chef pairs her meat entrees with carrots, baby tomatoes, eggplant, and corn bits. This was not a vegetarian dish. I don't think there could be a worst combination of food here. At least give me a slop of garlic maches potatoes or some type of rissotto.


We both had about two bites of our food and the rest went into a brown bax that was heated the next morning for breakfast.
Got the bill, paid 150 bucks and never felt so happy to leave this shithole.
