"? Content: In my opinion, the entire army is out of force. I can't understand 424 reviews in 4.5 stars with a tasteless lunch here. The restaurant attracts charm and interior design is charming, service was friendly and professional, Negroni was perfection, wine list very good, but the food was blazing. August 2022 near Pasadena for a 10:00 a.m. meeting, that went better for me than I expected on a beautiful day blue sky, puffy white clouds and long come break from the expanded heat wave that we have experienced, I decided to drive the short distance to Annapolis for lunch before I return to Vienna a bit more than an hour drive. I've been visiting Annapolis for more than four years. I have a friend who lived there that I borrowed in the past for restaurant selections that did not pick up my call for a spontaneous lunch. On my own to choose a place for lunch, drive on West Street, I parked in the game next to Stan and Joe?s Saloon find a bank a few doors away, neatly peruse Google reviews of the many restaurant options around me just a few steps away and all oozing attractive Kurb appeal. Luna Blu right across the street from where I sat looked particularly attractive and showed 4.5 stars Google review with 424 reviews. Within LB the restaurant dripping with charm, as small places like these often have the tendency. The compact, narrow dining room looked at my eye on place approx. 45 guests and there was no bar. At the dinner solo I prefer to pull it at a bar that is usually available. One of two servers, Chrissie, friendly and professional, put me right away. At 13:45 a.m., the crowd of lunch paid their cheques and left. Chrissie took my drink order with my Negroni recipe (1 shot gin, 1/2 shot compari and 1/4 shot sweet wormwood on rocks and spanned in a rock glass). It was perfect. Then I asked about Ciabatta or a rustic bread and knew that I was in trouble when she said neither was possible, only house bread. The house bread was like a store bought frozen dinner rolls. I ordered Shrimp and Asparagus Risotto, who had the taste profile of tap water. Although the dish served piping hot and shrimp was fresh, Risotto was lumpy and tasteless, asparagus finely chopped and tasteless. I decided to check other options nearby for dessert and coffee to save the day. To tasteful risotto seasoned bearings are added in steps. Stir each increment until the Aborio rice softens it before adding more experienced bearings. Repeat cycles until Risotto is creamy. It is a labor-intensive, labor-intensive process that delivers a great taste accounting. Not here."
