Shiver Me Timbers

I just had lunch at Bennigan's in Clarks Summit. I am not generally a fan of chain restaurants, but I quietly went along with a group who was determined to go there. I figured that I would review the place for lunch as it seems to be a fairly popular spot for people on break with a tight schedule. Well folks, I'm sorry, but I cannot give a decent review of the experience. The reason for this is that I can hardly remember what the food tasted like or how the service was because it was so damned COLD in there that I literally had to go to my car to get a fleece that has been in my trunk since January just to be able to tolerate sitting in the place. I watched four other patrons do the same thing. Come on, how hard is it to maintain a comfortable temperature? I asked the bartender and she said that people often complain. I love hearing that sort of thing. On the upside, I could probably have scratched glass with my nipples. Thanks for the stiff neck, maybe I'll come back in December.

UPDATE: Bennigan's in Clarks Summit is now Charlie's, and Charlies is good.
