| - I had lunch with my mom and grandma today because it's less than a mile from my office! I walked into Eat with a 5 star mindset. Unfortunately, I didn't get a 5 star experience.
Eat is decorated beautifully. It is rustic and urban and modern and east coast meets west coast all at the same time. Brick walls and simple art and a few rustic wooden tables and I'm in love. One star for ambiance/decor.
We sat down and our waiter came by to take our drink order. He wasn't very nice and had this look on his face like "I can't wait to walk away from this table and I couldn't be less interested in what you want to drink." The drink prices are a little ridiculous. Grandma ordered tea: $4 for a cup? And $3 for a soda? Hmmm...
Also, they DO NOT have bottled water. I don't understand this. My mom tried to order bottled water and the rude waiter just said "we don't have that." I asked if their water was at least filtered and he said "well, it's not tap water but it comes from a fountain." ::blankstare:: What does that even mean? We ordered a glass anyway and it definitely tasted like Vegas tap water. Mom ordered coffee instead and believe it or not, the coffee tasted stale.
I ordered the DWBLT. It was DELICIOUS. I'd give 5 stars just for this sandwich if it weren't for the shitty service and awkwardly unhappy waiter. It came with lettuce, tomato, bacon, avocado and chipotle mayo on toasted sourdough (but it actually tasted more like lightly fried bread?). The flavors were amazing and the bread was soft, but crispy. Also, the bacon was out-of-this-world good. The sandwich was oozing with freshness and definitely one of the best BLTs I've ever had! It came with homemade potato chips which were pretty good too.
My grandma had the chicken caesar salad. She seemed to enjoy it. Mom ordered the chicken sandwich and she loved it. She got potato salad with her sandwich. I took a bite and it was pretty good - not as good as the DWBLT though!
Before we were even finished eating and before our table was cleared, a waiter who wasn't ours walked by and placed our check on the table. I REALLY hate when this happens. I didn't ask for the check yet and it makes me feel rushed. And, how do you know I didn't want to order something else?
I'm not usually this critical, but this restaurant has a lot of potential. It's already popular and the food is wonderful - that's the hard part! The easy part is good customer service... and Eat is severely lacking in that department.
I'll give it another shot , though!
