| - This place quickly became one of my favorite spots to eat down town. Their Pastys are delicious, so many options to choose from but my favorite is the carne adovada. The rest of the menu is great too, the pasta salad is perfect for sharing and so are their oven chips.
My favorite sever is Jason, he is always so friendly and gives great service. I've been there when he's super busy and always does his best to inform you of it and apologize for the wait, which makes you know that he's aware of you and is doing his best to get to you.
With this being said, last night was a different story. My friends and I took 4 new people to check out Cornish for their first time, we bragged about how amazing it is and were celebrating my best friend having just had a successful event across the street. We went in and unfortunately ended being waited on by Shonn who didn't smile, greet us and right away gave the impression he was pissed off. We ordered drinks first (Irish car bombs) and when he came back with them we asked if our friend who had just joined us could get one too. You can tell he was pissed because he wanted to take our food order so he could move on with his tables. I understand he was busy, but we were very patient did not rush him, we wanted to order food because we were all starving but we wanted to get the celebration shots out of the way. He eventually started taking our order and what made me go off on him is the fact that when one of my friends asked "what's the best meat pasty?" He replied "there is over 40 options on the menu, go ahead and review it and let me know when you are ready to order" and then looked at the next person for their order. I don't care how busy you are, if our table has a question for you, you don't give a smart ass reply. We then informed him we were done with his service and when we went up to the front to ask for a manager one of my friends asked a cook if Shonn's attitude was always so bad and he replied "only if the costumer deserves it" this came from someone who had no idea what had happened, didn't know us, and felt that we were deserving of this treatment, just because he wanted to defend his buddy. We have always been nothing but nice to everyone there and to get two people treat us so poorly just felt so aggravating.
We spoke to Hoku, the manager who handled the situation and apologized for our bad experience and took care of our shots. If it wasn't for him and the other sever I would never go back even if I love the food. These two jerks almost ruined such a great night for us and almost lost 9 costumers.
I plan on going back, but I will refuse to ever be waited on by Shonn.
