| - Went in on Saturday, a few days ago. I made sure to check in using the yelp app. Because I want to make sure this review sticks. First, I should tell you that this used to be one of my favorite restaurants in the valley. The food has always been outstanding, service was always decent, but let me tell you about this disaster.
When we walked in, we each ordered a glass of water and I ordered a fresh squeeze juice. There was only one waitress, and there were six dirty tables in the restaurant. So when we walked in, we didn't get to sit where we wanted to set, but just had to choose one of the only clean tables. After we ordered our water and juice, the waitress promptly went over to a table, on the other side of the restaurant, and sat down with her friends. While the restaurant remained filthy, she sat down.
After about 15 minutes, we hear the juice machine grinding. She heard it too, because she got up off her ass, and finally brought us our drinks. A good 20 minutes after we sat down.
It was after 8 PM, and we did not want to order anything too heavy. So we ordered the cold appetizer plate, and a fattoush salad. The hummus and baba ghanouj were both bland. The tabbouleh was horrible, and desperately needed more lemon juice and olive oil. It was basically a plate of parsley. The salad, which used to be a bright colorful, crispy salad came out looking like it was made hours ago. The Romain lettuce was wilted and brown. The tomatoes were pink and orange. Way, way underripe. As soon as she dropped the salad, I told her to take it away. I'm not paying $10 for a pile of wilted lettuce that looks like it came out of the dumpster.
It was for that reason, that I dared to point out the shitty salad on my table, that she never came back to check on us. Instead, she went across the restaurant and sat down with her friends again. We wanted water. I wanted to tell her that the hummus was bland. But she was too busy talking to her friends to care.
I left, disgusted. And all of the tables were still dirty when I left, and now there was one more-the one we just used. If the dining room looks like that, the kitchen must be a filthy nightmare. I will never, ever eat at this restaurant again.
Yelp-- we should have a zero stars option.
