The star is for the food, it was ok. The service was terrible. We walked in through the bar, sat outside and waited for about 15 for someone to swing by to take our order. There were 2 customers there when we arrived. We had kids with us, maybe the bartender/server is not a fan of kids? Finally I walked in to get beers as our bartender/server was sitting at a table with guests. I asked to get two beers. I almost felt as though I needed to apologize for interrupting her to place my drink order. Later.. the server/bartender took our food order and was becoming a bit more welcoming. I went in later to get our check. I said "can we get our check" she replied " Well I have to write it down because our computer system us down" she said it as if I were a total inconvenience, not the computer system but ME. I should have said "well if it's too much I can just leave and not pay" :) We live within walking distance and only go to Shalimar a few times a year because the service at the bar is unfriendly. I think they're missing some serious revenue do to their unfriendly staff. We would probably go weekly if it was a bit more welcoming.
