I will not be returning here for a while.
City Tavern is a fairly expensive restaurant to have such crappy service. My friend and I went in yesterday (Friday) around one in the afternoon. It was dead, no hostess at the door, nobody greeted us for a while. The hostess was nowhere to be seen so another server, who looked like a third-shift Waffle House Nanny McPhee, hesitantly sat us. Mind you, the restaurant only had a total of like seven patrons, and there were several empty tables but she threw the menus down on a filthy booth that had crumbs and French fries on the seats.
My friend and I looked at each other like, wtf? but the woman had already walked away so we hesitantly wiped off the crumbs ourselves. There was a dirty RED washrag on the table adjacent from ours. Aren't those supposed to be white? Just saying.
The hostess appeared from the bathroom looking frazzled and honestly strung out in my opinion. None of the female servers were wearing a standard uniform. For the price of the lunch menu, they should have at least combed their hair that morning.
By the time Eric greeted us we had made a decision not to eat there, but instead each ordered a Bud Light and asked for the tabs. He was the only good thing about this place - or maybe it was the beer - so we tipped him accordingly even though we did not eat there.
Unless management gets a better wait staff, I'll stick to the City Tavern by SouthPark.
