We went to Dylans for lunch one afternoon.  We entered at the clearly marked NO SMOKING side.  I am not sure what the smoking side looks like, but I hope the decor is better.  Between the wait station the clear view of the back room, and kitchen (thru the glass in the door) and the sparse decoration, I felt like I was in the dining area for hired help.  I was less than impressed.

We started with Potato Skins $6.00.  They were pretty good, but not the best.

My kids both had the Tutto Mare$7.95.  It is Shrimp, crab, and mushrooms served over cavatelli noodles. Choice of red, white, or oil-butter garlic sauce.  One had red, one had white.  All pasta at this meal seemed a bit chewy, maybe undercooked?  The red sauce was ok but nothing special.  It was kind of plain and almost too sweet.  The white sauce however was quite good. 

My wife had the Chicken Mudega-Chicken breast dusted with Italian breadcrumbs and grilled, served in a white wine mushroom sauce and topped with provel cheese. $11.95  It was very good, the sauce complimented the chicken well.  She had a side pasta and salad.  The salads at this meal were fresh, but very.......small.  Basically, a few pieces of lettuce, onions , croutons and cheese set on a saucer.

I decided to try the Ribeye, Mudega style.  I shouldn't have.  I think the steak would have been ok on its own, it did not go well with the Mudega sauce.  The combination ruined both.  I am not sure why, I have had Steak Mudega that was great. I also had a salad, but opted for a baked potato.  I hate to say this, but it was the WORST potato I have ever had.  Instead of fluffy white, it had a blackish tinge to it and tasted bad.  I actually should have sent it back.

There was also an issue regarding differences in prices and value of a discount in the Entertainment Book.  However, I believe that to be a problem with the publishers of the book, NOT Dylan's. 

 All told, while not a terrible experience, enough was wrong to make me not want to return.
