| - Not worth your time.
Terrible service. The food was mediocre at best.
At Dunning's I did something I've never done before and hope to never have to do again in my life, I didn't tip a waiter. Gave him nada. This guy was the worst waiter I've ever had in my life, ever. First, he forgot our ticket, completely botched it. Which, no biggie, mistakes happen. He never re-filled our water, never checked on us, at one point I saw him walk by and look at us, he had an "oh, darn" look on his face and then he looked down at his tickets. He never turned us in.
Finally after 30 minutes we asked about our food. "I'll go check on it." 10 minutes later he shows up, checked on another table and then turned to us, "o, I checked on your food, there was some conflict in the kitchen, they'll take half-off your meals, sorry about that." And then he gave a whatever wave. This guy was totally checked out. You don't give a customer a whatever wave, he was down to 10 percent at this point. Especially since he lied. Conflict in the kitchen? Really? My girlfriend ordered a salad.
We continued to wait, I told my girlfriend if our food didn't come by 20 after we were walking out. It came at 18 after. The waiter said he'd get me some ketchup, I told him please. I also told him I had somewhere to be so could we get the check now. 10 minutes later he dropped off the check. Never apologized, never asked us how it was, nothing. I never got my ketchup either. I had to go to the hostess and ask for ketchup. O, I almost forgot, at one point said waiter dropped a plate of food all over the floor, never apologized to anyone, goes without saying at this point. To top it off, he didn't CLEAN IT UP. One of the other waitresses cleaned it up for him 5 minutes later. Let me point out too this establishment was not very crowded.
Now, if you're going to be terrible to customers, that's your choice, you can deal with the consequences of getting a low gratuity, but if you hang your co-workers out to dry too, then you don't deserve a penny as far as I'm concerned. As I said, the food was mediocre at best.
When I got my tab I wrote a big fat ZERO on the tip. Then, I wrote an explanation on the back of the receipt.
"You did this to yourself." I went up to the hostess and explained what happened and gave her a couple dollars since there's no reason she should suffer for his incompetency. Regardless, I won't be back. When you've got options like Green Mango, D's, Map Room, and now Root 174 and Cibo all in the area I'm surprised this place can manage to stay in business as it is beyond lousy in comparison.
