| - First off, let me start by saying the food here is absolutely delicious. I will continue to come here solely for the food and not so much the atmosphere or service.
We attended on a busy Friday night, anticipating this,I decided to call ahead and make sure to reserve a seat on the patio. My conversation with the lady who answered went like this:
Her: Hello, thank you for calling NextDoor, How can I help you?
Me: Hi, I am calling to make a reservation on the patio..
Her: Ok no problem, what time?
Me: How about 7?
Her: Sorry, we only have space around 8..
Me: Okay, no problem, ill take it.
Her: Actually, we dont take reservations..
Me: uhhhhh, okay.. so just walk in? or..
Her: yeah, sorry..
okay, no problem, maybe she misunderstood, new employee. no big deal. so we arrive at 7.. wasnt busy, got a table on the patio in less than 1 minute.. cool. We sit down, scan the small menu, I guess smaller is better, keeps the dishes more "fresh".
We quickly decide on a few different things and end up ordering about 5 different plates. 2 plates come out, The brussel sprouts and the mushroom caps. We slowly but surely polish them off and both were delicious. Our waitress comes by, takes our plates, refills our water, and we wait... and we wait, and wait.. and wait.. to the point where it is now 35 minutes later, now cold out.. and noone has checked on us.. so we make our way inside to the hostess..
We tell her its a bit cold out now, we rather sit inside.. still no problem.. another 10 mins goes by. The hostess comes over and asks if everything is okay. We tell her were still waiting on 3 plates, its been -/+ 40 mins, dont know whats taking so long, cause we got our apps so long ago.. clearly our waiter didn't key in our mains.. we also havent seen her in the last 40 mins.. the hostess, such a nice young lady, goes over to see whats going on..
10 mins later, our pipping hot dishes come out.. apparently the hostess is now our waiter.. since we cant find ours, she's disappeared while in the process of serving us LOL. No big deal, weve experienced worse, food is friggin delicious.
FINALLY, its time for the bill; who brings it to the table, none-other but our ghost waitress. Not even a mention of I am sorry for the delay, her disappearing, not a peep about how the food was, if we enjoyed it (we did btw, alot, kudos to the chef, he's really good), absolutely nothing .. we paid and left. Tipping only the hostess might I add, seeing as how she was the only one who took care of us the entire evening.
SOOOOOOO all in all, food was delicious.. service was horrible.. HOSTESS deserves a raise and we will return with our fingers crossed for a better experience!
3/5
