Terrible Crispy buttermilk chicken burger obviously from the freezer and over cooked. Service was friendly and efficient food was tasteless
We are staying at the Algonquin for 4 nights in the lovely and quiet town of St Andrews. The Braxton's lounge is the casual dining option of 2 restaurants in the hotel. I would say that the food is okay but pricey and not all that expertly made. A Margherita flatbread pizza had raw tomatoes atop of pizza dough with melted tasteless mozzarella and some basil leaves sprinkled around. Grilling the entire flatbread would have made the whole thing much better, along with some kind of seasoning. But as it was, it was tasteless. I also had the sirloin hoping that a more straightforward entree would be easier on the kitchen. while the protein was fine the veg was under-cooked. The staff is seasonal, coming from all over Canada to earn money at summer resorts so maybe by the end of the season, the food will improve. Unfortunately, there are not a whole lot of options in town that are not deep fried. Given the beauty of the hotel and the surroundings, I would have thought that the food would be a grade better.
The seafood chowder was delicious and packed with lobster, fish, scallops, potato and a very light cream sauce delicate enough for the seafood flavores to come through in just the right proportion.
It was good quality and a nice break from the more casual restaurants around but for the cost I would expect something a little more special. That being said I would definitely go again.
