Mediocre food and HORRIBLE service. As soon as we walked in we felt rushed. When I assume it was the busboy that took our drink order (he was wearing an apron covered in food holding a bucket of dishes) came over to the table he had no smile whatsoever. The two young ones ordered some cokes, my aunt ordered a glass of wine and my mom a water. We had literally just sat down at our table so i didn't have much time to think. i asked if they had a specific type of beer and got a quick "no". He didn't let me know what they did have or explain their selection but proceeded to just point to some dusty bottle above the bar. "That's what we got" was the help I was given in deciding. i fealt even more rushed and he looked angry so I said "I may need a minute to decide". He proceded to stand there and stare at me until I gave him answer. I spouted out the first thing I saw that I remotely liked and he walked away without another word. When he came back with the drinks the cokes were obviously filled too full and when he put them one the table in front of the two little girls he says "Dont spill these". I was in shock. Who does this guy think he is? All this time we still havent met our waitress. Finally a woman comes to the table and without introduction shoots right to "Are you ready to order". What are these people in such a hurry for? We order and after way too long she comes back to tell us they were out of what we had ordered. In a restaurant that seems like theyre in a hurry to get us out, youd think they would have told us sooner. Im a vegetarian and there are NO VEGETARIAN OPTIONS besides a couple starters (not an exaggeration) I was forced to eat a hummus appetizer that was clearly store bought, disgusting, and over priced. The waitress never came to check on our table. If she was busy I would have understood but she was standing in a corner chatting it up with another waitress. Our drinks were never refilled and when my aunt realized that they had forgotten to bring her coleslaw with her sandwich that came with it we tried to get attention clearly being ignored to the point where I had to shout out a firm "EXCUSE ME" just to get this woman to the table. When my aunt explained that she hadnt gotten the coleslaw that was supposed to come with her meal without the slightest apology proceeded to say "Oh yeah, they were making more and I forgot" ....really lady? This is your apology? She brought the coleslaw over, said she'd FINALLY be back with some water and when she was walking away she licked away some coleslaw she had gotten on her hand. SHE LICKED HER HAND.
At this point were just trying to get as far away from this place as possible. We had tickets to a show at Playhouse Square and came to this restaurant besides its right around the corner. This alone schocked us that there isnt a nicer place in their spot. The decor was horrible and not nearly what we thought it would be when we walked into a restauant near Playhouse Square. This place was just a dirty diner and dont get me wrong, I could care less about how a place looks if they have the food to makeup for it. Anyway, to end this horror story she brought our check. All on one, even though we needec it split but decided to just get out and worry about it later. She puts the check on the table and my mom says let me just give you it now and pulls her card out. Right as shes doing this the waitress says "Ok...as she turns her back and WALKS OVER TO THE NEXT TABLE WITHOUT IT!" Yes she comes back shortly after giving them ketchup but c'mon! This was the dinner from hell.
I'm sorry we've inconvenienced you with our sitting and wanting to eat... Waste of money...waste of time.
