G's Wood Grille

Well thank you http://www.restaurant.com/!
You can get "gift" certificates on clearance for local restaurants, so I snapped up $150 worth of restaurant food for a total of like $15! Talk about a deal!
First one I used was for G's Wood Grille after house hunting on a Friday night. 25 clams off the purchase of two entrees! G's is literally in a converted house in a neighborhood! No joke!!!
When the keys got locked in the car when we got out I should have known where things were headed. And when I walked in and saw that all of the cars belonged to people sitting at the bar I should have walked out and not worried abot the 3 bucks I spent on the certificate...
One other table had people in the DR (dining room) at 8:00 on a Friday night... I should have known, but I am cheaper than dirt and thought "what the hell"!
The painting of the abused children that lined the walls in the fake brick paneled room were a little off-putting. They were the saddest faces you have ever seen... until you saw mine walking out that night...
We ordered the fried calamari as an app... it was fine... The bread that was brought to the table I swear I heard them using a chainsaw to cut up for the basket... I thought it was just inedible and the strange garlic spread was not a help to cover the brick crust.
The entrees were Chicken Parmesan and Veal Oscar.
Chicken Parmesan looked like it would have been OK, but a huge portion of it was left on the plate when we left...
Veal Oscar... what can I say, I love eating baby cow... more than just about anything, except crab. Oh, you nasty crab, how I love you... Serving it all on a cream sauce; My GOD I AM IN HEAVEN... unless you order it at G's Wood Grille in Scranton, PA and then you swear you are in Dante's Inferno! My goodness, it was bad... just really, really, really, bad! The veal was so tough and grainy I would swear it was actually the venison my nanny used to cook in Alabama.... And the crab... it was an odd flavor... not really crab like and there was so damn much of it on the plate that unless the dish was $100 there is no way on this earth it was real... unless it was going to "turn" overnight so they threw all they had on my plate... The lemon lemon lemon garlic garlic cream sauce did nothing to salvage it... And the baked hockey puck, oops I meant potato, was so hard you could hardly get into it...
So, for one of the worst dining experiences in Scranton, it cost me $3 for a $25 gift certificate and $45 on my debit card that night. Let me say, it was a rip off for $48.oo! Completely and utterly not worth that kind of money... However, that $3 certificate kept the cops from being called because had I had to pay $70 for that Shiite there would have been a foshizzle kerfuffle!
G's is all wrong, except apparently for the old people at the bar... Nothing works. Not the interior, not the service and most definitely NOT the food!!!
This place and it's location is not suitable for fine dining, especially when the food sucks. If the owners were smart they would turn the place into a true pub. Bar on one side with pub food in the DR. People can drink at the bar and you have a separate dining area for families serving GOOD CHEAP FOOD, especially in that neighborhood, a street from the ballpark... , Meatloaf, Fish and Chips, Shepherd’s Pie, Pot Roast, Good homemade burgers, real fries. KISS (keep it simple stupid). They would have a gold mine on their hands, as it sits they have nothing worth ever visiting again...
Owners of G's: I am happy to came in and consult a new strategy for you... I love a good restaurant, unfortunately, yours isn't one...
