I am not sold on Casey's. We go fairly often because Mr. Nanook's parents are regulars.
The things I like about Casey's: The service is very good and the staff are friendly. The ambiance has improved since they went for a more upscale look/menu. Their wine list is excellent with a good selection of Ontario wines - this is taking into account that it's a chain restaurant and all.
But I often find myself flipping through the menu feeling like there's nothing there that I want to eat. And their salad selection is awful... last week I ordered the Spinach salad and there were so many other things thrown in (hardboiled egg, feta, parmesan, bacon, deep fried onions, red peppers) that it was too much. And the shrimp was precooked from frozen then reheated on the grill. It looked great, just not fantastic to taste.
I have yet to try something that impresses me. There's always a little thing about a dish that puts me off, like using a chicken leg instead of a breast.
