| - This place just really shoots itself in the food with the absolutely atrocious service & lazy food fumbles.
We sat at the bar & waited for the bartender & waited & waited. My wife turns to me & says, "I think we're on the pay no mind list." Finally she comes over & blurts out, "Drinks?" That's it. I replied back with one word, "water." All these beers & this chick had nothing to promote. She also didn't offer us a menu.
We finally got menus. Barkeep continued her one word service spiel blurting out "food?" I said we would start with the Cilantro Lime Hummus. Without comment, she left.
The presentation of the appetizer was ok. A large pool of oil floating on top of the green hummus.- not attractive. Nice flavor & the cilantro, which I love, stood out. Menu says it is served with their "delicious beer bread." Not sure what "beer bread" is but unless its tortilla chips or pita bread, it was absent. The chips were good, but, like I said, it wasn't beer bread. There were some small tomatoes on the plate that were wrinkly with age & should never have been put on the plate. Some really tasty black olives were great.
The bartender never offered a beer so I had to ask her. I pointed to some taps on the back bar & asked her what they were & she just said "we don't have that right now" without answering my question. I then asked her if they had draft beer "flights" & she looked at me like I was from Mars, & then said, "Oh, do you mean a beer sampler?" I agreed & asked her what they were & she pointed at a chalk board & said "those over there." She then said, "Here's the menu but it has all the wrong beers listed. Here's a placement but it has all the wrong beers listed too. God I wish they'd get new ones." She then, shockingly, took the time to explain them to me; however, when she picked up the Sunspot Gold sample, she spilled it into the stout & then just shrugged her shoulders as if to say "oh well." She continued, "This is our IPA, it's strong & tastes like rubbing alcohol." Oh, I'll look forward to that one. She continued, "This is our seasonal Winter Brew. It's old, like from November when we made it, so it's like I said, old, & we're trying to get rid of it so try & order it. It's got like 10% alcohol & will knock you on your ass." She also picked up every single beer sample glass by the rim with her fingers.
She was right the IPA had a rubbing alcohol after taste. The winter brew also was hard core strong. It almost tasted like someone poured friggin' vodka in it. The Hefeweisen was awesome, with a nice after taste of bananas -really liked it. I also really liked the Sun Devil ale.
The sandwiches came out &looked rather tired. Both plates were garnished with pieces of red onion & a sliced tomato; generic looking. Come on, pieces of red onion thrown on there, quit being lazy & slice the friggin onion will ya. Her plate looked rather sad & she said to me, "Honey, my plate seriously needs some love. I at least need some lettuce garnish." I agreed. Our bartender never did a check back so I had to wave her down & ask her for some lettuce. "The cooks told me the lettuce order just came in." Are you kidding me? Come up with a better lie than that. She hated it (Cajun chicken) & ate 3 bites. Near the end of the meal the bartender walked by & said "good?" & I told her "mine is, but my wife doesn't like her's." She said, "oh" & turned & walked away without asking what was wrong.
My ground lamb & blue cheese stuffed burger was awesome. I also had asked that they not overcook the lamb & they didn't. MR & oozing with blue cheese! I had the chili with it which was rather blah. It had an ice cream scoop size of sour cream blotted into the small soup cup. Also stupid from a food cost perspective.
When the bartender cleared the plates, she failed to ask how everything was. She picked up my wife's plate, looked at the uneaten food, shrugged her shoulders & threw it out. Never asked if we wanted to bring it home either. Just threw it out. Still on the bill.
I still wanted to have another beer. My wife said, "NO WAY, I'm not sitting her one more second with this crappy service. This chick sucks & I can't take it anymore" How do you argue with that? So we left. We'll never be back either.
A lot of waiting, pulling teeth for any kind of service & a general feeling of being uncomfortable. Great place with awesome potential, but they really shoot themselves in the foot.
