| - This was my second visit to the Libertine and let's just say they didn't get any better since that first visit. I originally stopped here with coworkers about 2 weeks ago for lunch since it looked like a nice place and there's been some hype since it's new. On that visit out server seemed disinterested in us and the food was pretty bland. I had a burger and fries, which tasted like I could have made it at home. One coworker had the flat bread, which looked good but the other one with gluten free flat bread looked like it needed more toppings and effort. The only good thing was that the server topped up our sodas before they were empty.
This second visit was for a friends large birthday gathering. When I arrived the hostess had no idea what party I was talking about, so I had to find the group myself. Turns out that my friend's original booking for 30+ people was supposed to be on the 2nd floor, but they bumped her without telling her for a speed dating event. Well, that definitely puts a change on the evening as we were seated in the restaurant area and crammed against the wall - so, we pretty much couldn't mingle past our own table.
Again our server seemed disinterested in us and was hard to find. She would take almost 20 minutes or more to come order drinks and it took an hour to finally get a glass of water with our food - she was smart to bring a jug, but that emptied quickly and we couldn't get another one (I guess they only want you buying drinks here). I ordered the Sin City drink, but ended up with a completely different one... I just drank it because it took 30 mins to get the drink in the first place. I had the fish fries to eat, which were not very tasty and literally came with potato chips on the side (not cafe chips, Lays potato chips) for a lovely price of $10, not worth it. What was even better was that my friend, Reg T., didn't even get his dinner he ordered (we were happy it didn't end up on his bill). He waited about an hour for it and when it just didn't show we all decided to head to another venue where we know service is always good (Melrose Cafe & Bar had a complimentary pizza waiting for Reg when we arrived because they know what good service is AND Reg was really hungry by that point!). It did take quite some time to get our bills, but not too long to pay as there was a different girl taking payment.
In the end, I don't plan on being back again. I don't like to waste my money on poor service and bland food. I can pay less elsewhere for good food and pleasant service.
