| - Oh Co, I was so excited for you to open. We tried to give a good amount of time to work out kinks before trying this new restaurant in waverly. We arrived for dinner on a Friday night and the dining room was full of large parties with tons of children screaming and running around. My friend was actually seated next to one of these parties in a large booth and she told me at one point one of the toddlers was standing on the booth with its pants down. I think the location next to the water play area is not awesome. Additionally, the entrance to the restaurant is awkward, it feels like the main door shouldn't be the main door. We walked up to the hostess and put in our name for an inside table because it was a bit chilly for outside. We waited around 30 minutes and went to check on our table. Miraculously we had chosen the perfect timing and we were seated then. This restaurant was severely under staffed. There were 2 waiters trying to serve the entire dining room AND bussing their own tables. So dirty tables were sitting around because these poor people are so busy. All while there are 2 hostesses whose waiting system is only writing names and phone numbers on a piece of paper.
We are greeted right away but didn't have any time to look at the drink menu. Our waitress is occupied dealing with the complaints of the table sitting next to us. This table actually took out their phone lights when they lowered the lighting around 8 (what the heck people). We finally put in our drink orders and then we are left alone for probably 25-30 minutes without putting in our food order. Finally our cocktails come, my husband got the wrong drink but it tasted good and we weren't about to wait for another. We finally get to put in our food orders, dumplings, ramen, and the Korean bowl. The food came out quickly and it was pretty good. The dumplings didn't taste super fresh, the ramen was good and hubby loved his bowl. The rest of the evening went much more smoothly.
The restaurant needs to adopt a hostess software, hire a busser, have another waiter, and I'm not sure how to deal with rambunctious children taking up seats for hours. I'll probably come back and try again, the ramen really did warm my soul.
