| - I've been here twice, and both times the food was great and the service... not so much.
The first time I came here was during happy hour (they have great happy hour deals), and I sat at the bar. I waited and twiddled my thumbs for a few minutes until my neighbor gave me his menu. He then started making recommendations. This gentleman should have been working there. He did a much better job than any of the three bartenders there. When I finally was able to get a bartenders attention, after being in the bar for ten minutes, I ordered a beer and an appetizer. My beer came quickly, and as should have been expected, it was the wrong beer. I tried to flag down the bartender, but that was not fruitful, so I drank it anyway. It was not very good (an oatmeal stout when I ordered a Hefeweizen). Following this mistake, my food took an exceedingly long time to come out, and having not seen the bartender in quite some time, I asked a waitress, and she informed me that there was no order in. She did this in a very quick manner which was great, even though the report was less than desirable. I told her that I did not want to order anything else, and that I was just going to finish my beer and leave. She got the manager (without my request+++), and he apologized and paid for me to get a replacement appetizer. The food was excellent, and half of the staff were excellent.
The second time I came here, I sat at a table. It took me 5+ minutes/three passes of the waitress at our dirty table before I had to raise my voice to get her attention. She apologized and came back with a towel and to take our orders. The service was very slow and the food was very good. I did not see any of the same people behind the bar as last time, and I recognized one of the new bartenders from Mill Ave. This raised my hopes for their future success, because he was a great bartender there.
They still haven't worked out their growing pains in the front yet, but their kitchen has yet to disappoint.
