Mondo’s Draft
House
We needed a
place to eat in Iowa City and wanted to try something new. I did a little
research and fell in love with this picture.
A salmon BLT!
It was all I could think about. So Mondo’s Draft House it was. The overall
theme I would call an upscale sports bar it was very nice. The décor was rich
and elegant for a sports bar. The service was good but for what I would call an
upscale establishment (that serves $30 steaks) the dress of the wait staff did
not match the décor. Their attire was a takeoff on Hooters, just out of place for what
you can see here a very nice place.
When the food
arrived I knew immediately that my expectations of Mondo’s Draft House were set to high. I did
not take any pictures of our food but now wish I had. If you refer to the
picture of the Salmon BLT above which is amazing. What I ordered came on a
regular bun in a plastic basket on paper! Far from what the picture showed. I
will say despite the let down it was a good sandwich. The fries that came with
them were undercooked and soggy. I won’t go into a lot of detail about the
other dishes I sampled at the table, the French Dip was average, the Mac and
Cheese was okay, the mashed potatoes were the worst I’ve ever had and the steak bruschetta
salad was just weird, almost greasy. With all that said Mondo’s received one of the
lowest value scores I’ve ever given. My sandwich served in plastic was $12.00.
I would have valued it at $7.00. Needless to say a bad experience but when it
comes to eating out sometimes you win sometimes you lose. This time we lost, never give up trying.
