I am not sure why so many of the reviews are so good with stars. Maybe it is because Queen has lots of potential to be a great restaurant. It has a charming location in the heart of downtown. Several small dining rooms make the place quiet and intimate. But we cannot taste ambience!We ordered the namesake Queen Salad and found a large salad large enough for three kind of large made with what looks like triplewashed greens from the supermarket you know the kind that comes in a bag dressed in Krafts ranch dressing with shredded Cheddar and bacon bitsreminds me of salad bars from my college dining hall. The salad foreshadowed the rest of our meal which was very underwhelming. The crab cake was bland. So was the seafood gumbo, it was thin and tasted like a vegetable soup with a few shrimp thrown in. What happen to the roux? The bright spots of the whole evening was the She crab soup and the mini biscuits and salted butter. Even then, The She crab soup is only average.The staff could have been trained a little betterour server left an unused wine glass on our table throughout the eveninghe should have cleared it since only one of us was having wine. He also did not clear our used plates until our next course was served.Our dinner costs about the same as the one we had the previous night at The Ordinary but the differences between the two meals was like night and day
