Steam House And Lounge - Mt Vernon

I recently celebrated my daughter's birthday with an intimate dinner at this restaurant and we had a fantastic time. The staff was extremely attentive and welcoming. We absolutely adored their rasta pasta dish! We will definitely be coming back here regularly.

We ordered the battered fish chips, macncheese, chili-tai wingettes and garden salad for takeout. The food was hot, fresh and very testy. Paid $43 for everything which we think was fare considering the food was good. Took a minute to get everything but was worth the wait.

Excellent Fried Chicken with Rice and Beans. Great portions. Seasoned very nicely! Only complaint was very long wait!

Empty for a Tuesday evening. Only one other couple sitting at the tables. The bar area was pretty full. The waitress was friendly, she was new and act like she didn't know what she was doing. Overall experience was not enjoyable at all. It took 35-40 minutes for the chips to be put on the table. As appetizers, the Shrimp Montaditos was over cooked. If it was just right, it would have tasted amazing, but instead we got hard crust. It took 50 minutes for that to come out, and the appetizers came out with our dinner. We were told the kitchen was backed up, but the place was pretty empty. I watched as patrons from the bar kept going back toward the kitchen area and putting in orders. Not professional or appropiate especially when they were getting their food before we got ours, and we ordered first. The Jerk Chicken and Snapper dishes were fine. We had to ask for silverware. The Rum Punch was decent. Not impressed with this establishment. Don't waste your time going here.

I ordered take out and I was the only one there it took me over half hour to get my food which was just OK. I dinner waiting that long that the orders have to be made to order. Being there for my first time I assumed the food had to be out of this world (fried whiting and steamed cabbage) to have taking so long. To only get it and it was OK at best
