| - Being a frequent visitor of Downtown Summerlin, (Sephora....need I say more?) when I first noticed this place my boyfriend & I decided we needed to eat there ASAP. We came here on a Friday around 5:45 or so for happy hour. It was packed & we were told happy hour was in the bar area or outside on the patio. We chose the latter. It wasn't too hot & each booth had a fan. I absolutely LOVE the theme of this restaurant. The menus look like the old school composition notebooks. The managers walk around dressed like teachers I mean, it's adorable.
When we sat down it took a while for our server to come over to us & ask for drinks, but it was super busy so it wasn't a big deal. By the time he came over we already knew what we wanted to order from the happy hour menu (which has really good choices!) so we put in our food order as well.
My boyfriends beer came out first, and about 10 minutes later I finally received my drink. I ordered the crushed velvet which it's their spin on the classic Moscow Mule. It was REALLY good, and I'm not much of a drinker. It had the distinct flavors or blackberry & lavender. Super yummy.
Our food came out pretty quickly. One by one. We ordered the speck & eggs which were really good! The ahi street tacos, also good. The farro & Brussels sprouts salad wasn't all that great, only because it's not my kind of thing. After receiving all our plates our server went to another table. We decided almost immediately that we wanted to order a couple more things before happy hour was over (at 6:30). I looked at my phone & saw it was 6:10 or so. I knew our server would be back before 6:30 so I wasn't worried. Also as a side note, when we got our first plate, my boyfriend ordered another beer.
But here's the thing...our server didn't come back. Not to check on us & see if we liked the food, not to drop off my boyfriends beer. Nothing. Finally another server or runner brought out his beer....20 min later. Yep. 20 MINUTES! What? That's just nuts.
So from 6:10 or so to 6:28 we waited for our server to come back so we could order more from the happy hour menu. Finally he came & we told him we'd like to order one more beer, and another dish from the happy hour menu (PB&J sliders) and something off the happy hour menu (shrimp & grits). To which he responded..."well happy hour is actually over right now. But I'll try & see if I can get it in." I responded with "but it's only 6:28. I thought happy hour ended at 6:30." And he replied with the same thing: "I'll try to get it in". I didn't bother telling him that if he had come back to check on us before 18 minutes...we could've put in our order sooner. I knew that if he couldn't "get it in" then I was going to speak to a manager.
So he left our table & went to the table directly across from us where a group of women were eating & they too ordered from the happy hour menu. He told them the same thing, that happy hour was over, but he'd "try" (like he's doing us all a favor. -__-) and they said what I didn't want to say. "Well we wanted to order sooner but we couldn't find you. You never came to our table again. If you can't do it, I'd like to speak with a manager." He replied with "I'll try".
Alas we all got our food at the happy hour prices, and it was bomb. Our server was a SUPER nice guy. He just needs to work on spot checking his tables more often.
I have to say the shrimp & grits were delicious, but the star of the show is the PB&J sliders. We weren't expecting them to be a mind-blowing revelation. But they were. They have a beef patty, crunchy peanut butter, and habanero jelly. They are DIVINE. if you've made it this far into my review, (I applaud you.) and you take away only ONE thing from it, please let it be this: ORDER THE PB&J SLIDERS.
Carry on, fellow Yelpers.
