| - Food, not bad. It Is what it is, and usually what you see is what you get.. However the service... it's PAINFULLY slow, ugh. Took a couple of friends from out of town for din last week. Tons of staff running around it seems, but no one serving you? Quite bizarre frankly, like they're all wearing blinders or something.. Waited 5 mins. for table sitting on bench at front door, three staff walked by and ignored us, at least three times each, (not busy on a Tues. night btw, mostly empty diningroom-side tables!). Eventually flagged somebody down and got to one, then waited almost 20 mins. to order some wine (only to be told it was out of stock... one of their few 'featured bottles', really?), after all. Double ugh. Half an hour later, got to place an order for food, and finally got a drink. Never did see our original waitress again after the initial drink order, she just disappeared somewhere in to the 'netherworld' it seemed.
I have never written a negative review before and hate to, but I have been to this place at least 5 times since it opened and keep trying to give it the benefit of the doubt, but geez! Each time the service has, sadly, been disinterested at best, AWFUL at worst.. doesn't seem to be a staffing # issue so I don't get it at all?!
Glad to see I'm not the only one who has had similar probs re. this issue. A shame... otherwise they seem like nice people. I wish success to any new restaurant in the 'hood, no matter how 'fancy'. Sorry for the not so poz post, but I'm frustrated!
(Note: 3 reviews have been 'removed/filtered' that are 1 or 2 stars also saying the service completely sucks, so I guess I'm not the only one who's had issues? Hmm. May want to work on that BP?)
On the upside, good/easy parking and may be fine for a beer & wings and to watch a game or something when you've got a lot of time? Lots of tv's all over :) Cheers all.
