| - I thought the food was ok, although the pork was almost all fat and hardly edible. But this review is about the service. It was terrible. Let's start at the beginning, we waited outside in the cold because we were early, fine, no big deal. But when we and another party both entered the restaurant around 5 minutes before open, remind you - the door was open - we can hear the staff mumble to each other about how they are not open yet. One waiter informs us that they are not open and that if we wait they will be ready in a few, alright, we were fine with that, although it could have been phrased slightly better with a proper welcome, have a seat, like sophisticated cultured staff would do. Kitchen staff who didn't communicate directly with customers are seemingly nice and concerned about getting the food out to the customers. In fact the cook had to call over the waiter twice to have our food delivered. Finally when we were ready to leave our food was not picked up and no check brought, so one of us went to inquire if we should pay at the register - me. This is where we meet the rude long dark hair uncouth waiter. He informs me in rude manner that I don't have to visit the register and like any other restaurant they can bring a check. I apologized and said we were unsure and this was our first time at the restaurant, he was not impressed, I waited for a minute assuming he would print the check since I was standing there. Finally he prints the check and abruptly hands me the check. He walks off and I proceed to separate mentally my portion of the check from my companions, now rude waiter returns and asks if I 'wanted it separate' - not a polite offer mind you but a more matter of fact, he shouldn't be bothered attitude. I said yes please that would be better since we had three persons. He then mumbled about how "you could have said that earlier". Then before I could open the check envelope to see that there were three separate checks, he asks "did I want him to bring it to us to the table too" I said yes, because I thought he still had the other two checks. He now proceeds to throw up his hands in the air, and huff and puff. I gave the separate checks to my companions as it were, since we now had separate checks. This is a case in point of how a waiter should not be, I recommend that this staff member be reprimanded or possibly fired. This is the epitome of rudeness and incivility. If the owners are aware of this behavior they should be embarrassed. I will not be returning here strictly for the malevolent nature of the service staff. Kudos to the cooks since the food was still pretty good, but frankly, the service does not invite another visit. Unbelievable, that service like this must be tolerated, anywhere.
