| - It's been a while since I've reviewed a restaurant but I've been thinking for a whole week, about my unfortunate experience last Wednesday. I previously had an underwhelming visits there about 6 months ago but figured I'd give it another go- maybe they just had off nights? Turns out I should've just stayed away.
The hubby and I came for dinner and sat at the bar. We were hyper-greeted by two different bartenders who couldn't seem to figure out who's customers we were. But over-service is good, right? As soon as drink orders were in they both forgot about us. We went through 2 drink rounds before we were even served bread. And finished that off before our dinner came- a salad for me and fish special for hubby. Took 34 minutes to get our food from placing the order.
Let's talk about the salad: I keep expectations at check when ordering a salad as I'm not going to have a heavenly filet mignon experience. But I did order their large salad with shrimp (which costs almost $20). What I got was an iceburg mix, 1 large mushroom cut into 4 pieces, 1 large tomato cut into 4 pieces, 4 slices of avocado and 4 shrimp grilled with no seasonings.
My husband got a plate with 3 pieces of deep fried fish...nothing else on the plate. He also got a side bowl of greens- pretty yummy.
Our bill was $85 before tip- mostly because we had 2 martinis each waiting for the food which was horrible.
The other thing that was kind of off-putting was the whole demeanor of the staff. This locations is far less professional and inviting than the Charlotte location. We had one waitress who was singing in the corners, and then a waitress and the bartender were complaining about shifts. At any given time about 3 servers would be huddled at the hostess station, just hanging out. In fact several customers came in and the wait staff made them wait around until the hostess returned from wherever she kept disappearing to. Also- and this was harsh- a small group of the staff stood at the hostess station laughing and making fun of a young lady that had tried to walk her elderly family members to their car in the down-pouring rain. The poor girl looked like a drowned rat, but she was helping her grandparents, bless her heart. And the hostess and a few of the servers just watched, laughed and pointed. Kinda mean if you ask me.
Anyways, 3 strikes and I'm out. This place is a huge bummer and overall we spent almost $100 for a horrible time. Live and learn I guess
