| - I hate to give this event a bad review because I liked the concept of it and thought it was a great idea, but the actual event itself was disappointing.
I'd like to start off by saying none of this was Rachel's fault. I am not sure there was anything she could have done to make the waitstaff friendlier, the food taste better, or the service decent.
Pros- Cute decor, open kitchen, adorable little plates, cool bar set up, great pineapple (or whatever flavor that was) cocktail
Cons-FL 2 did not seem to be prepared for this event what so ever? I am certain yelp informed them of the number of guests attending, however, you would have thought they only prepared for a party of 10.
I could not hear anything they were saying when talking about the restaurant or the food they were serving. One of the bartenders was purposely avoiding people with drink tickets, which was very rude! I witnessed him finally take someone's order, and whenever they did not order something he felt like making, he told her "well it's going to be a while on that?"... really? After she just stood and waited her turn for 15 mins? We were served sangria with no fruit... would have preferred just a glass of wine at this point.
As for the food, nothing I tasted had any flavor. Nothing they served was on the menu, so I'm not sure why I'd want to go back when we couldn't even taste anything they typically have. I was under the impression this event was to sample some menu items? They would bring out 1 tiny plate of samples at one with about 12 bites each, but there were way more than 12 people there. I was actually confused as to what was going on with the food samples...where were they?
Moving on, menu was placed on the table if you wanted to purchase something, which I did because I was starving & there was hardly anything to eat. Well, not a single staff member came to my table to ask how everything was or if we'd like to order something. Sadly, we eventually ended up leaving & went somewhere else to get an actual meal.
To put the icing on the cake, whenever we went to leave, the man at the desk said $24 for valet parking. WOAH! My friend who I rode with called Fl 2 before to ask about parking options and was told valet was $12. Whenever we told the desk agent this, he apologized and said sorry that's the price only for people dining in the restaurant who get their ticket stamped saying they were there. Unbelievable that not one staff member at fl 2 asked if anyone parked in the garage or valet so that they could stamp our ticket for the discounted rate.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be going back to Fl 2 & will be sure to leave my feedback on their yelp page so they can work on improving some things
