| - This meal was so comically bad I kept expecting a hidden camera crew to pop out and announce I'd been punked.
As we are seated our server informs us that we can order from the menu or partake in the $9.99 lunch buffet, which features "soup, pasta and pizza" and comes with a starter salad. When I ask if the buffet has anything vegetarian our server informs me that "usually they try to have a vegetarian pizza out there". I inquire about the soup, to which she replies, "Another table asked about that too! I'll go find out!" Apparently if you'd like your questions answered here you'd better hope another table has the same question!
As luck would have it the soup and pasta dishes both included meat, so I ordered a 9" pizza off the menu and my friend said she'd have the buffet.
And then we sat.
After FORTY-FIVE minutes our server came back, apologized for the wait and said my pizza would be out shortly. As we approached the one-hour mark a manager came out and said that my pizza was on the way; apparently all the toppings had fallen off when they tried to cut it, so they had to re-make it? Meanwhile, my lovely friend showed excellent restraint, eating only her starter salad (bagged shredded iceberg lettuce with two cherry tomatoes and two green olives) and not beginning her buffet dining.
When my pizza finally arrived my friend did go to the buffet, which was totally picked over and hardly had anything left. (Aside: Always be suspicious of poorly-lit buffets!) She had two small slices of pizza and a little bit of pasta. Amazingly, when she went up for seconds THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT. THERE WAS NO PIZZA!
Shortly after the staff brought out one more pizza. My friend quickly grabbed a slice, and by the time she was halfway through eating it they were once again out of food, with a line of about ten people waiting for pizza- any pizza- to appear at the buffet.
The weirdest thing about the long waits and picked-over buffet is that the restaurant wasn't even busy. What on earth happens when this place is slammed?
When our server cleared our plates she asked how our meal had been. We informed her it had been "disappointing". When she brought the bill- no discounts, no coupons for future visits, nada- she did have the courtesy to say, "Sorry for the disappointment."
Thanks.
I can see why this place serves three-ounce cocktails in buckets- you'll need to be pretty darn drunk to tolerate the apathetic, inefficient service here.
