| - Dined here for an early dinner recently and agree with much of what other Yelpers had to say. We used a Groupon as well, GREAT deal for what you got, and what a gorgeous day to sit outside. Agree, the staff tries to be absolutely the best (familiar with other Dressler's restaurants, Jon does a great job of hiring the right people. . server wise). We were there for an early dinner & it was not crowded whatsoever. Our server, Richard was clearly proud to be working there and offered many excellent selections. However, there was what appeared to be a *manager* who wanted to make darn sure that nobody received any special treatment. We enjoyed chatting with our server, Richard, who was an absolute sweetheart. As I said, the place wasn't crowded (most people sat outside, the inside was about empty). You'd think they were packed to the gills considering how that *manager* (cranky and rude) kept stopping by our table & others to bark orders at the servers. What a creep - despite the great food (calamari, crab cake, lamb chops, Cesar salad, lamb (a bit fatty - REALLY) and a delicious halibut dish, that *manager* was a crank, had the staff unsettled and actually dropped a bill in front of me after we'd already paid ours and included a generous cash tip. Our server quickly said he'd already taken care of the bill, so the creep who dropped HIS bill right in front of ME (not my husband) just said "oh" and picked it back up. . .I wonder what it would have had written in it!
Hope this guy isn't a relative of Jon D.'s. . .who is renown for putting his family to work (his mom makes the BEST DESSERTS!!!). Just so sad to leave what was originally an upbeat and happy occasion with such a downhearted feeling. I doubt we'll be back anytime soon. . .sadly.
