How one single person can ruin your entire dinning experience!
As foodies my wife and I are always looking for the hidden gems here in town and after reading the reviews we were very excited to dine since we love cafes. Upon walking in my wife and son went to use the restroom when the server hustle her way past them shoving herself in the restroom first, leaving our five year old to do the potty dance while she took her sweet time.
The menu looked fantastic and we debated over many of the delicious items on the menu. The server quickly took our order. The food arrived roughly 20 minutes after ordering.
We ordered the three cheese panini with bacon. This item came out without the bacon on it. Due to the inexperience in the service industry, when we informed the server she looked as as if we had three heads and said, "You didn't say bacon!" She sent the sandwich back to the kitchen. Rather than heating a new sandwich so the cheese was properly melted. The chef simply slapped a couple of pieces of bacon on the panini and sent the sandwich out cold with unmelted cheese. Thus, no longer being considered a penni.
The watermelon salad was indeed not a watermelon salad but rather a tomato salad with some chunks of watermelon in it (80/20 ratio at best). The salad would have been amazing and to be fair the server did take off the bill but server never stopped by the table to ask how our meal was until we had completely finished and she came to clear.
The flavor profiles of the dishes tasted good; however, the execution was poor. If the restaurant took a little bit more pride and hired experienced servers who cared than this could've been a five star review!
