点评:As a Long Islander, visiting Oheka Castle has been on my bucket list.
I finally made it and was impressed by the grounds and footprint of the building. Once inside, I was surprised to find that it is essentially a restored mansion with none of the original furnishing or artwork. In fact, I found the decorative art of poor quality, some furniture in need of repair and the mansion itself lacking character. This would explain why guests are free to roam the castle at will. There really isn’t anything of value to harm.
Our docent was informative and clearly devoted to Oheka. She was the one bright spot of our experience.
Afterwards we had lunch at the restaurant and once again, I was disappointed. I ordered fish tacos, which were $27. I was served two small tacos that were tasteless and so flimsy I could not pick them up to eat them. My friend ordered the risotto which had the consistency of dry rice pudding. She took it home and a doggy bag .
I cannot remember a worse lunch.
Perhaps a summertime experience may be better.
翻译:作为长岛人,参观奥赫卡城堡一直是我的愿望清单。
我终于做到了,对建筑的场地和占地面积印象深刻。进入城堡后,我惊讶地发现,它实际上是一座经过修复的豪宅,没有原来的家具或艺术品。事实上,我发现装饰艺术质量很差,一些家具需要修理,豪宅本身缺乏特色。这可以解释为什么客人可以随意在城堡里漫步。真的没有什么有价值的东西可以损坏。
我们的讲解员知识渊博,显然对奥赫卡很忠诚。她是我们体验中唯一的亮点。
之后我们在餐厅吃午饭,我再次感到失望。我点了鱼肉玉米卷,27 美元。他们给我端来了两个小玉米卷,味道很淡,而且很薄,我都无法拿起来吃。我的朋友点了意大利调味饭,口感就像干米布丁。她把它带回家,还打包带走了。
我不记得有比这更糟糕的午餐了。
也许夏天的体验可能会更好。
