| - Finally visited Pickle Bills, after hearing from a friend who lives near there said he liked it. Drove nearly an hour to surprise wife, thought it would be fun. Four o'clock on a Saturday, only 15 minute wait for outside table. Not too busy, tried to get a drink at inside bar while waiting for table, could never get bartender to serve us, though only four other patrons were at the bar. Arrived at our table outside, served a glob of dough with cinnamon butter, no utensils. Ordered bottled beer with frosted glass, got small glass, would only chill half of beer. Wife ordered two 5oz lobster tails, liked them and the salad but, the green beans were awful, bland and greasy. I ordered the King Crab legs. Big mistake. No different than the snow crabs that the table next to us were eating .Tasty, but rip off. Terrible wait service although the waitress said she and another waitress would be taking care of us. Never checked with us, waited fifteen minutes for another drink to come. Both seemed to spend all their time with another table. I normally tip 20 to even 40 percent, on this occasion, I couldn't find it to leave a tip at all (on a $99.93 tab). I have never done it before, but have never been as disappointed with service like this. We talked about going to Delmonico's in Independence, about the same price, except excellent service and quality. I have never left a restaurant after spending nearly $100 for two, and still have been hungry. If ever in the neighborhood again, will go to Brennen's across the street. Spoke with their customers on their way in, all insisted I should have went there instead. Good advice.
