| - I've been to Saving Gigi a few times before. They have good coffee and a nice atmosphere. I live down the road and wanted to get together with some friends and have some drinks and relax before having a pretty major surgery. My girlfriend and I arrived around 8:30 and a week prior we had asked if it was alright if 10 or so people came. They assured us that it would be fine and there would be room.
Right away the server was rude to my girlfriend. She asked for 2 rye and gingers, and the server coldly replied with 'we don't have ginger ale.' My girlfriend pleasantly asked what the server would recommend and the server laughed at my girlfriend, saying 'we don't have pop.' Sorry but not everyone drinks booze on the rocks, or whiskey and apple juice, which the server recommended next. If you're a coffee shop wishing to serve booze at night, is it that hard to buy a few cans of pop?
The server returned to our table with 1 drink, and was again very rude when my girlfriend reminded her that it was 2 drinks.
All night my friends had to go up to the counter to order food and drinks. This is not unheard of for a coffee shop serving liquor at night, but at least show some friendliness. All night, both servers behind the counter were rude to me and everyone else. I've worked as a server, so I am nothing but polite when out for drinks/food. The only time the server/barrista talked to us was when she asked us to push in our chairs so she could get by. 'You reallllly need to push in your chairs....'
After settling up my $45 bill (2 sandwiches, 2 whiskeys, 2 ciders) I was leaving with the few friends left, our server chased us out telling us that one of our friends who had just left, did not pay for her food. She began to describe her so we decided to call her to find out that she didn't order any food. The server then stood there, as if we had no other choice but to pay the friends bill that the server had forgotten about. A few of my friends offered to pay, but I felt bad and paid the missed bill myself (another $8).
The next day my girlfriend and I had figured out who had the plate of food that was unpaid for, and we sent them a quick text asking if they had remembered. They told us that they had paid 3 separate times, and that the plate of food was for sure paid for.
People make mistakes, but when someone is cold and impolite to you all night long and make you feel like you shouldn't be at their bar or coffee shop, it makes it a lot more difficult to enjoy yourself. This was an important night for me and i wanted to be able to enjoy myself one more time with my friends before surgery. I would have recommended this place before in a heart beat, but now Ill have to tell people to stay away.
