| - I feel like if I had any other server my first experience here would not have been so awful. I came in with my boyfriend and his friend and we stood at the front for a while not sure if it was the "seat yourself" type of place or if a host was suppose to seat you. So after standing up there for a long time without being helped we figured we could just walk in and sit down wherever. We walked over to the only open booth at the time and it was dirty so we just stood in front of it waiting to be helped. Finally someone saw us and cleaned it off for us and brought us some menus. After 15 minutes of sitting there and not being helped our server, Andrew, finally came over to take our drink order. Then it took him such a long time to bring us three waters. Finally after waiting a total of 20-30 minutes JUST for waters, he took our beer/food orders. I decided to get the Belgian s'mores waffle since I recently ate. I wanted to get a vodka cranberry but I knew it wouldn't go well with the waffle and asked him what to do. Instead of suggesting drinks that I might like with the waffle, his response was "Yeah, the vodka cranberry wouldn't go well with that waffle." So I ordered the waffle and was looking through the beer list while waiting for it to come. The waffle arrived at a decent time and I was surprise to find out it wasn't even a full waffle. They were four tiny bite-sized pieces. With no help from Andrew, I found the double chocolate stout beer and I really wanted that with my dessert. My only problem was that Andrew already dropped off the waffle and DID NOT come back to the table after that for a very long time. I could not wait any longer so I decided to eat it with only water. After 30 long minutes without being checked on and finishing my four bite-sized waffle pieces (which was absolutely delicious, it's the only reason this review gets two stars instead of one), he finally came back. I asked him for a refill of water since I was without water for most of my meal and for the double chocolate stout beer. Once I ordered that beer he had the AUDACITY to tell me "That would have been good with the waffle." Are you kidding me? I WAS TRYING TO ORDER THAT WITH MY WAFFLE BUT YOU NEVER CAME BACK TO CHECK ON US. AND I EVEN ASKED FOR HIS OPINION FROM THE BEGINNING BUT ALL HE SAID WAS THAT VODKA CRANBERRY WAS "NOT A GOOD MATCH." So I angrily responded "Oh I know." Then it took him 15 minutes to bring us the chocolate stout (it could've been the bartender's fault, but at this point, I doubt it). Finally it comes, along with another beer for my boyfriend's friend. My boyfriend wanted to make another beer order but he never came back after dropping off the chocolate stout. At this point we had been there for AN HOUR AND A HALF and did not even order that much. We look around the restaurant and find him flirting with some girls at another table. Once he was finally done doing that we asked him for the check (WHICH TOOK HIM A GOOD 10 MINUTES, WHY?!???) He put it all on one check so we asked for it to be split and he split it almost immediately and brought it back (fastest thing he did all night). We left our cards at the edge of the table for another 10 minutes until he finally came by to take them. My boyfriend's friend stiffed him and my boyfriend tipped him $1. We ALWAYS tip 20% for decent-good service. We all work in the food industry so we know how it can be sometimes but this was absolutely AWFUL AND SLOW service. We were finally able to leave after TWO HOURS. We saw that his main priority was clearly to flirt with the women at the other table. I will give this place another try sometime in the future, and when I do I'll make sure Andrew isn't my server.
