| - Came here for the first time last night. Wasn't very impressed. The hostesses were nice & since there was an hour left of happy hour and my honey is a beer connoisseur we decided to sit at the bar. Wow, wish we would have just gotten a table.
One of the bartenders came around & asked me what I'd like to drink. I asked if they had coke. She said "umm..." And had to turn around to look at the sodas to see. Then she said yes they did. After she brought our drinks, somehow she disappeared & another woman bartender, Samantha, took over.
Now I'm not sure what was going on behind the bar, but there was some drama & confusion because the three bartenders were muttering to each other. I'm not sure what the problems were but you could tell they were stressed out. I've worked in restaurants before & I understand how stressful it can be, but that's no excuse to give bad service. And that's what she did.
We asked for menus & decided we'd just order some apps from the happy hour menu. Samantha, in the middle of listening to our order, walked away from us when another bartender walked by her and said something to her. Just walked away! I wasn't sure if she had gotten all of our order or what! Then she came back and said "I'm sorry" & looked at us so we ordered again.
Basically once we ordered we hardly saw her again. Pretty sad considering we were AT THE BAR and so on front of her the whole time.
Our food was good, especially the beef tacos & the tempura sushi. Very good.
When it was time to pay the bill we put the money in the glass & waited for Samantha to close it out. Only she didn't pick it up. She kept walking back & forth, making drinks, etc. completely ignoring us until finally my boyfriend called out "excuse me. We'd like to close our tab out". Pretty sad.
All in all, we'll probably go back again. But never will I sit at the bar.
