Mellow Mushroom, Carolina Theater, mixed bag

Dinner and a movie with family in downtown Greensboro last night.

Mellow Mushroom:

Good
  • Kosmic Karma is deeeeelicious!
  • Server was friendly
Bad
  • An 18% gratuity added to the after-tax bill of a party of four adults and two children is just plain rude.
  • Our second pizza was not the large we ordered. They tried to compensate by making another small for us, but it was so slow to arrive we had to get it in a box in order to catch the movie.
  • Jerk chicken lacked any hint of jerkiness.
Vertigo at the Carolina Theatre:

Good
  • Classic movies on a big screen.
  • Beer and wine.
  • Beautiful venue.

Bad
  • Seating is getting worn and broken.
  • Sound is unidirectional and tinny. 
  • Digital copy of the film (as opposed to projected film) was muddy and washed out.

    Thanks for the warning. I usually leave 20% or more on the table but knowing that in advance I'll not dine there at all.

  2. There are a number of factors that go into my tipping calculations and I prefer that it be left to me, especially with what any other restaurant would not consider a large party.
