| - I visited Afton Tavern a couple weeks ago on a Monday night. There were 8 of us, 4 adults and 4 kids. It was a kids eat free night and they had a movie playing that the kids could watch while they ate. I was expecting it to be pretty busy, but it didn't appear to be overly busy. There were no long lines waiting to get in but tables were turning over and there weren't many empty seats.
Let's start with the good. The food was decent - about what I would expect from a "tavern". I had the buffalo chicken philly and wasn't disappointed. It was tasty and came with sweet potato fries. It was also $3 margarita night and it was a basic margarita - nothing fancy, but nothing wrong with it. My daughter had a hot dog and fries and it was a good sized hot dog for a kids meal. The rest of the group had no complaints about their food.
Our server came to our table and introduced himself to us by writing his name backwards and upside down on the disposable paper table cloth - that was the highlight of his service. Several times he told us he was new and apparently was absent on training day. He was slow, unfamiliar with the menu, inattentive, and apathetic. After waiting 7-8 minutes after being seated he showed up and asked about our drinks. We weren't given a drink menu so he had to go get that. When we finally ordered drinks, the four adults all ordered something from the bar plus a water. We received the bar drinks, but had to ask about the waters - which were difficult to get refilled. The kids meals did arrive before the adults - which I like, because kids generally eat slower and have a small appetite for waiting. The entrees came out next and the two people whose meal came with a salad/soup didn't get those. He blamed the kitchen for not bringing those out, while I suspect it was his responsibility to handle those. There were other things missing from our meals and again it was "their" fault. Once we finished our meal it was again a waiting period to get our check and then check out. If not for the automatic gratuity charged to large parties, he would not have received much of a tip.
One of the guys in our party is a frequent patron and assured us this was an anomaly. He spoke with the manager to let him know about Hans and got the impression that the manager wasn't surprised to hear the feedback. We weren't looking for a free meal, but more to let them know that he's not cutting it.
I would go back as there was nothing wrong with the quality of the food, but if I got another server with a similar experience it would be the last time.
