| - This is supposed to be a DINING experience at a RESTAURANT.
NOT: a stand in line, order your food, get your own drink, take your # to the table, wait to be served DELI SITUATION.
Now let me quickly state here that Beto, the waiter, greeter, order taker, should be manager because he is so AMAZING, was JUST as wonderful and gracious and quick to get the food to us, offer additional drinks, etc as he was when this was Sammy's! They are lucky to have him!
However, shouldn't a restaurant afford all the accommodations of being 'a restaurant'. Come in, sit down, order drinks, take your time, order appies, entrees etc, all at the diners convenience and time table? Not the restaurant's?
Table 89 has succeeded in taking the enjoyment out of meal time.
Their little hook of "We are committed to using the freshest local produce and organic ingredients from farmers we know and partners we trust." Is sure to entice some foodies.
But intelligent, aware foodies are going to look for the words: Organic or non-GMO on the menu. And you will not find them. Because by law, the only way you can state that on a menu is if it is true. Organic ingredients are one thing, organic menu items, meats and produce are entirely a different matter.
Maybe this is a case for the younger hipper crowd who don't mind standing in line to order food, read through an entire menu and order everything they may want to consume, all within 5 minutes of walking in the door.
