| - This may actually have been the worst restaurant experience of my entire life. I wish this was an understatement, I really do; the staff were very nice, the atmosphere good, the food overpriced but not bad. But they are so completely in over their heads trying to run a restaurant.
We were a polite and well-mannered group of about 12. It took almost 30 minutes after ordering our drinks for me to receive an underpoured beer in a dirty glass - and it was the wrong beer. Most of our meals arrived soon after our first round of drinks. One person's meal lagged behind, arriving "in just a minute" - for almost 30 minutes. She ate after everyone else. Nobody ever checked on drinks, empty glasses all around, we had to try ordering from other staff as they bussed our table. There were a few beers on the menu I planned on having but I only managed to order two.
When we asked for our bills - which the servers had been running separately, by name, since the start, at their own suggestion - it actually took over 45 minutes. Longer than you could ever possibly imagine, with everyone already three hours into a very long meal and eager to get home.
Various servers and managers stared at a screen trying to get the bills figured out. At one point they even came back and auctioned off some beers they had lost track of. Finally they processed everyone's credit card except mine, and I had to chase them down to pay while others had already left.
TL;DR, sat down at 6:45 for post-work dinner and drinks, only managed to have a burger and two beers, and still didn't make it out until 10:30. With good service and food that lives up to the pricing, this could be a good restaurant, but I honestly can't see myself ever going back to find out.
