| - I wish I could comment on the quality of food, but the first 10 minutes were so horrible I couldn't even stay long enough to eat.
Walked in with a group of five, including two children under 10, and immediately was overwhelmed by how absolutely loud it was inside. There were multiple TVs blaring and no one to greet us, but rather a bartender who screamed from over the bar to pick a seat. We chose patio seating outside in hopes of actually being able to hear each other speak.
We get outside and our waiter takes our drink orders. Before we could even order for the kids, he said that they couldn't have their juice drinks on the patio. Weird, but okay, fine. We asked if we could set them down by our bags and the waiter, without any remorse, said no-- we had to throw them away or put them in the car. Already off to a bad start and we didn't really care to stay for more, so we gladly left.
Sure, if I were to bring in a Starbucks coffee and sit down at the restaurant, I would understand, but these were KIDS with gatorades. Typically, the argument against bringing outside beverages in to a restaurant is that the restaurant wants you to purchase a beverage from them, but we weren't even given a chance to order drinks for them (which we had planned on) because of how abrupt the waiter was. And then not to even let us set them aside? Ridiculous.
Rules are rules, but be courteous and friendly while delivering them, and maybe make sure everyone has ordered before you start barking them out.
