| - A few weeks ago, it was my friend's birthday, so a group of us decided to do dinner and drinks. Now, we know the food here isn't great, so we ate dinner elsewhere before coming here. We got a nice window seat, so we could people watch. But the chairs were ridiculously uncomfortable. Also the tables were so close together, my chair was pretty much right against the chair of the person at the next table. I know they're trying to get as many people in as possible, but at least space out the tables a bit more.
Our server was awful. I can't remember her name, but she certainly went out of her way to make us feel unwelcome. We came for some bulldogs, which were yummy as usual. But, the server was like a succubus everytime she walked over to our table. Never smiling, slamming our drinks down on the table and not caring about how we were doing. I use the term succubus because whenever she was around, she sucked the birthday party spirit out of us. The real kicker was when we paid. Now, I usually tip at least 20-25% if not more, as I work in the industry and get that things can get rough sometimes. But, there was no excuse for her bad attitude as they weren't that busy. So, my friends and I left her a 10% tip, which she counted in front of us and then gave us a dirty look before disappearing again. Sorry sweetheart, if you want good tips maybe you should be attentive and at least pretend like you give a damn! The birthday girl actually told us that she came back a week later with some school friends of hers, and the service was even worse than last time (how that is even possible, I don't know?!)
I only come here for drinks, but this experience was so bad, I might just give up on Julios and head over to Los Chilitos. At least they have half decent food, good beergaritas and the servers are actually friendly and attentive.
