Our server at this location was a cheerful young woman who spoke so quickly that she became breathless and as she told us the types of beers on tap her speech became unintelligible. We had to ask her to repeat the list and still not quite understanding her rapid auctioneer style speech we just ordered what we thought they might have! Our beers were delivered quickly to our sticky table (luckily not from food residue but from a gooey build up of furniture polish, wax and oils).
We both decided on the Everyday Value meal of Spaghettini Bolognese that included an all-you-can eat soup or salad and garlic home loaf. My date was the Big K, the slender man, who can eat for four. How fortuitous and brilliant to choose a restaurant that could quite possibly fill his stomach. Alas, it was not to be. Our server was somehow able to sense that the Big K had hollow legs and began to play a clever game of cat and mouse. When the Big K was asked if he might want another serving of soup he said, "In a while" and she replied that she would return in three minutes to check. We didn't see her again until she delivered the bill.
Other servers took over the delivery of and the clearing away of food (that could be best described as mediocre) and backed away so rapidly from our table and from the man with the hollow legs (had they been warned?) that it was awkward and impossible to beg, "Please, can we have more? " The garlic home loaf was very small and gone in two bites. They even skimped on the sauce on the Spaghettini. Offered "fresh" cheese, we were not surprised when the server "ran out." This restaurant was a complete tease.
