| - Sooo... I know that people are all "don't review new places harshly! they are new!" But my experience here was the weirdest, most confusing dining experience I have ever had.
Also, I should point out that I recently started watching a lot of Gordon Ramsay shows, so while I am forgiving of mix-ups that are corrected, I'm less inclined to be ok with those that are not. On the flip-side, I was also a waitress myself for years, so I understand that shit happens sometimes.
Here's a point form synopsis:
-Server got visibly angry/had a mini-rant at us about his co-workers 'stealing' the coffee when he was the one who had brewed it. I get that that would be irritating, but it made us super uncomfortable.
-Food took almost an hour, and then was wrong.
-Manager comped food, which was great, but then noone brought us our bill for about 20 mins after we were done, so it became a confusing guessing game about whether they had also comped our coffees.
-The dining room was really well staffed and not that busy, but we were often ignored. We kept trying to flag down either our server or the manager when we wanted to pay to leave, but they just scanned the other three tables, then went back to wiping down the bar.
-The wait staff are SUPER noobs. They don't really seem to have any idea how a dining room runs, or what serving professionallly looks like. I'm fine with casual, but this was awkward. The whole dining room seemed like it was being run by teens at their first jobs.
-French fry salad was delicious, but veggie club was boring and awful. Bland, untoasted, skimpy amount of veg slathered in way too much mayo. They might have rushed it, since this was the dish that they had to remake (they accidentally gave us chicken). Pro-tip - if someone is waiting for over an our for a vegetable sandwich, please take the time and care to make it properly.
Overall, brunch took well over two hours. Not in a good way. I know that this review will probaby make me sound like a high maintenance a-hole, but this is one of the worst, most awkard feeling service experiences I have ever had in my life.
Really wanted to love this place, because the menu looks so awesome; I might be back for their dollar an ounce wine on a slow weeknight, but probably not for food.
end rant.
