| - Wow...I don't even know where to start. (The beginning...that's usually a good place)
So, the little lady and I had just finished up with yoga, and Switch was in the very near vicinity, so we figured it'd be a good choice. Wrong. We were greeted in a somewhat timely fashion and seated. Then we waited for a while...and then a little more. The hostess was wiping off a nearby table and asked if we had been helped yet, and when we said no, she went to find our server. Apparently he didn't know we were his table. Ok, it's happened to me before, I'm willing to forgive. Our server, Chris, came over and we ordered our food and drinks. He came back with our bevs and then he didn't stop by again until food came out, meanwhile we had pushed both of our empty water glasses and my empty coffee mug to the end of the table...hoping that he would get the hint. Nope. Then the food came and he finally asked if we wanted more to drink. He dropped off water and coffee and was gone until the END of our meal (which wasn't even good). Was this a joke? He comes over and says "So, how is everything guys?" My woman replied with "I've had better, can we please get the check?" and he didn't even ask what was wrong. He brought the check and we were going to split it down the middle, and he said they were having system issues and couldn't split it. Fine, one card...just get us the eff outta here! When he brought the card back he literally tossed it on the table and told us to have a good day as he was walking away.
Yeah, where's the manager? I told the manager all about our sucky experience and our even suckier server. I was given some excuse that their computer systems were down due to a hacking of sorts and blah blah blah...give me a break. I understand things running a bit slow due to a computer problem, but NEVER coming to check on our meal and us having to ask a different server to please get us condiments and then to not even acknowledge when we tell you we've had better...that's not a computer issue. That's a server who doesn't care about good business and doesn't know how to do his job.
We were given a comp card for the next time we come in, but really I doubt that will happen. It's a shame, because I really do love supporting local gay businesses. But they make it so damn hard with their declining service and mediocre food.
Switch, our relationship must come to an end, because when it comes down to it...it's not me, it's you.
