| - I have to be honest, this has been a favorite hangout of mine for years. I know much of the staff and love them. Maybe because I am a regular my comments are unnoticed? The floor is FILTHY. Has been for years. The food has been consistently inconsistent and the wait staff are not professional cleaners, nor should they be expected to be; cleaning up after a shift is their job but never doing ANYTHING else to the space has created years of grime. HIRE SOMEONE, to come in and DEEP CLEAN the bathrooms and dining room. I personally know the kitchen is clean. COMMERCIAL CARPET SQUARES HAVE A PURPOSE - to be replaced when they get crappy - they've been crappy for about 4 years. Overall, the bar, dining room, etc. is just worn out and dirty. The bathrooms have mop slosh stains on the tile walls that I have seen un-removed for more than a year. I have never been to the SP or Ballantyne CT's because this one is close and has a group of great regulars - sort of a 'Cheers'. But it has really been neglected of late and it shows. Paint a wall, change out the ceiling tiles with stains from 2009 smokers, just a LITTLE bit would make a difference. This side of town is growing with many new spots coming in, to compete there has to be at least a minimum amount of revamping and money spent. The concrete floor is stickier than a movie theater's... having a dishwasher slosh around dirty mop water in the a.m. isn't cutting it. It needs to be SCRAPED, then cleaned, then re-stained. Also, CT Rivergate has to be losing in the THOUSANDS on the keg system that has been messed up for YEARS - they have to pour out two or three glasses of foam for every beer they pull. Temperature? This is not staff's fault, but really, when is this going to be updated? Love it, but would love to see it get the attention it needs and become a great place again. Thanks :).
