| - If I can rate a negative number, this place is -10. I couldn't believe how horribly slow the service here is. This is the second time I have ever walked out of the restaurant. I couldn't believe that after sitting down for 45mins in the restaurant, my appetizer still didn't arrive. I stumbled here at about 8:00pm. When I walked in, the hostess/server asked if I'm here for a pick-up or take out. My eye brows just rolled up with confusion. I thought this was a restaurant. Shouldn't they ask if I wanted a table instead? Shouldn't they be promoting their dining service instead of their take-out service? I should have known that was a clue. So when I told her, I'm here to sit down, she was baffled. Was I dressed inappropriately? Was I supposed to hear a suit and a tie in this place? Was my Club Monaco sweater, Zara jeans, and dress shoes too casual for this establishment? Or was I supposed to be Anglo? I'm freaking Filipino if one might ask. Finally she understood what I said and she politely suggested to me to sit down anywhere I want. So I sat almost to the far back corner since that was the only table available. I felt bad since it was for a table for 4 and I was by myself. But then again the place was dwindling down other than the group of ladies who seem to be having a great time. They were loud but it didn't bother me other than the occassional shreaking and Lezzie harking. So I sat down and the male server came over and cleaned the table. Then 2 mins later, the female server/hostess came over to clean the table. I just gave her a smile and told her that the other guy already took care of it. With that attention, they gave me a good impression in the beginning. Then it took about 5mins for the waiter to come back if I wanted anything to drink. I asked for a half bottle of the house cab and also as a starter, I'd like the coconut shrimp. I'm not ready yet for the main course. He politely obliged and walked away. Then he brought my cab but didn't pour me a glass. So I had to pour it myself apparently. While enjoying my wine, I opened up my Kindle to read a book. That is my normal date when I am on a business trip. Fine dining or casual dining, my Kindle is my date. I read and read. And read and read. Poured myself another glass of wine and read and read. I looked on my watch and 40 mins has surpassed. So I prarie dogged my head to try to get the waiter's attention. But he was busy with the touch screen teller machine. The female server noticed me and must have notified my server. So he came over and right away before I even opened my mouth, he goes "I'm so sorry but the kitchen is really busy with take-out orders, yours should be out any minute". It didn't hit me and I said, "oh, ok". But then, I realized...wait a minute, I've been here for almost an hour, ordered my appetizer and 40 mins later, it is not ready???? That just didn't make sense. So I tried I brushed it off and continued reading my Kindle book. After ready for about 5 mins, the coconut shrimp still has not arrived. I was just perturbed. So I stood up, put $10 on the table for my wine, put my scarp on, grabbed my gloves and told the server that I'm just going to take my business elsewhere. I cannot believe that it's taking awhile. Instead of being more apologetic, he just responded with an "okay" and continued on with cleaning up the rest of the tables. At this time it was only me and the group of ladies that were there. The restaurant was half empty. I was pissed then. I turned around and grabbed back the $10 and said, "you know what, you do not deserve this." and I walked out.
