I drove from the North Valley to Mesa to have a birthday dinner with one of my girl friends. She picked Peir de Orleans and from what I saw the place didn't seem too bad. A couple bad reviews, but the prices seemed reasonable so I was 'all in'.
When I arrived (I was a tad late) everyone was sitting and the complaints were already flying. The waitress was brand new and would only take a couple order at a time before leaving - taking care of the bar- and then taking down more of our orders. There were 2 different menus on the table, and one of which had lower prices on some of the meals. We asked our waitress if she would honor those lower prices and she went and asked the owner; wanna know what the answer was? NO. What a crock of $@*#!!!
My individual beef with this place is the fact that I had to wait 5-10 minutes to get some ranch for my appetizer and after my 1st drink the waitress took her sweet time. THEN when I got my bill it was around $22. . .which wouldn't be too bad except I thought I had bought the appetizer and my 3 drinks under Happy Hour pricing. They then told us the pricing is only for patrons who sit at the bar. MAYBE you should put that on the website, or on the menu so we would know. But heck, what do I know?
The food was so/so, the service was horrible AND oh when they brought out my girlfriends birthday cake (after all the checks were passed out and a couple people had already left) the waitress said "We made this special for you so you have to eat it or. . . " and then rolled her eyes. I seriously thought the world was going to go off it's axis she rolled her eyes so much.
Turns out all the bad reviews on here speak the truth. I'll NEVER go here again or tell my friends to visit this place.
I'm just sad that my friends birthday dinner wasn't the amazing dinner she deserved.
