Has anyone been to the new Evergreen Bar & Grill? I went there the other day after golf with seven other friends only one out of eight meals was hot, the other meals were only cool to warm and the portions small. Overall, I was not satisfied and feel the change was a mistake. To be fair the Chicken in the Rustic Pot was the hot one and flavorful. I will not be visiting the new Evergreen again.

It's getting lots of good reviews on the Village Facebook pages.

We went and although it was nicely redecorated the food was not that great. We will give it one more try before crossing off out list.

Our experience was the same. Food was not hot and was incredibly bland, even the hot and sour soup was not at all spicy. We were disappointed.

Went there this evening and were not disappointed. Food was well prepared and hot. Seasoning was more than appropriate for the dishes we ordered. Service was very good for this style of restaurant and we were quite pleased with the value we received.

Big city flavors? No. Above the pale for this area? I would say yes and we all agreed we will return soon.

There are some places you go to eat, and there are some places you go to have a meal......Evergreen is just to go get something to eat, you don't expect much and that's what you get.

If the food is not hot-it indicates its premade & is sitting under warming lights--if you're eating cookie cutter type items-it increases the chance of bland and not being warm

My Wife and I went yesterday for Dinner. Liked the buffet at first, but noticed a decline the last few months they were open. My impression of the new bar and grill is excellent. THe service was fast, and friendly. The appetizer we had was hot and very good. Our meals were top notch and very hot (temp), My wife had Pad Ti, and I had sesame chicken. Both our meals were very good. I will be back again. Its good to have a sit down oriental rest. close by.

Maybe 'splain? And what is "pomade?"

According to "Wiki: its ..... Pomade is a greasy, waxy, or a water-based substance that is used to style hair. Pomade gives the user's hair a shiny, slick appearance, and does not dry it out". So that's what is wrong with the food, used the wrong dressing!!!

Terrible outlook about dining out. If you know the food is less than what you like, why go there.

I tend to agree with KennyP. You might go to Nancy Lopez, Arnold Palmer or Hemingway at Havana to dine. Whereas you would go to Beef O'Grady''s or Perkins to eat. Nothing wrong with the original analogy. Each has its respective price point!

Palmer's Lopez and Hemingway's are nothing to brag about..in my humble view... despite each having its respective price point . meaning one can be as easily disappointed at one place as another. price does not guarantee quality

You're absolutely correct. There may not be any fine dining in TV but would you at least concede that there are different tiers of restaurants in TV, and that it's likely that for some people Evergreen may not be in the top tier?
