"Went to Chilli's, having been a regular at the namesake with just one "L", and expectations were for a similar chain restaurant experience, which are not the highest. This expectation was not met.The location is nice, inside an older building with a spacious floor plan. Outside it has a large porch and lots of space for outside seating, which I expect to be very nice in the summer but visiting in November obviously was not usable. The restaurant also has a customer parking lot on the premises, which is quite convenient. Service was good and speedy. Drinks were reasonably priced, not cheap but also not too expensive, pretty much right for cocktails, and the evening was off to a good start. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. The Nacho starters were out of a bag, with a little bit of cheese on top, nothing that you couldn't have managed at home with ingredients bought from the supermarket and no cooking skills. Main dishes were not much better. The beef Quesadillas were tolerable but forgettable, as was the fajitas. The prawn quesadillas was a disaster, with mealy cheap prawns that made you stop after the first bite. The staff's reaction to the uneaten quesadilla was the kind of shrug that indicates the problem is known to the staff and no improvement can be expected, and no attempt was made to rectify the situation.Overall, the place has potential, but seriously needs to step up its act with regard to the food. As it is, it probably is an ok location for drinks if you can skip the bar food."
