Valentino's, Lincoln, Nebraska Restaurant Details

Food:

A Lincoln icon! Wish we had a Val's in KC.

Food:

We haven't eaten at Vals for several years - it used to be a go-to place when we came to visit family. Now we live here and the other day I took a bunch of co-workers there. I was disappointed.

Sure, the food tasted good, and there was enough of a selection for my vegetarian friends, but the servers concerned me. It wasn't just that they didn't seem to enjoy their job, nor that they didn't interact with customers in a friendly manner - no, it went beyond that.

Unhappy employees in a restaurant concern me because I worry about cleanliness and quality. If an employee isn't happy - especially when they are in the front with customers - what are they like in the kitchen and out of the public's eyes? If they can't keep the dinner plates stocked, the mac & cheese stirred, or the countertops wiped - what is happening to my food when I can't see it.

This isn't because Valentino's employees are bad people - this is a management issue.

The overhead music was too loud and too "energetic" for a relaxed dining experience. The employees were rushed and unhappy. The countertops and utensils needed closer attention. Many of the food dishes needed to be stirred and/or restocked.

Of course the pizza and other cheesy, greasy, fatty, sugary foods were great! But that's easy.

We talked afterwards, and of the seven adults in our party, none of us want to return. It's just scary - one doesn't want to get sick from eating out.
