| - Service poor, drinks poor, kitchen poor.
Arrived and seated ourselves at a table about 7pm on a Saturday. Should have realized since it wasn't bustling, it wasn't a good idea.
Waitress came over and brought menu and left before taking a drink order. She came back to take the drink order. Within the time it took to order two drinks and an appetizer, she wiped her hand across her nose at least 5 times (I stopped counting.) Not sure if it was a new nose ring or whether she had an itch, but it was a turn off. When I wanted to order an appetizer the same time as the drinks, she asked that I hold on, she wouldn't be able to remember 3 things (complex drink order consisted of Windsor and coke, plus a beer). She took my credit card and came back with drinks (sans bar naps) and now wanted to know what we wanted for appetizer/food order.
Grimm Platter with variety of fried foods served only with ketchup and small side of marinara. Marinara only came about 5 minutes into eating it. The cauliflower, zucchini and mushrooms would have benefited from more than ketchup. The marinara barely covered the cheese sticks. Kitchen could do better.
For second round of drinks I asked if they could do a margarita (dive bar), and she said she wasn't sure she remembered how (bottled mix- how tough is that?), but other bartender/waitress did. Fine, ordered rocks, no salt. I also ordered a Rachel.
Maragarita was fine, albeit a bit light on tequila, but adequate. Rachel came out and she announced as a Rachel, but it was clearly a Rueben. So much for the kitchen knowing the difference between corned beef and turkey, sauerkraut and coleslaw.
At this point I just accepted it as kitchen error without complaint. I ordered another margarita, rocks no salt.
Waitress arrived with pink concotion. I asked what is this and she said it was like a margarita, but she added something most people liked. One sip and I told her, NO, this is too sweet, I want a margarita. She replied she'd take it off the check be back with a margarita as ordered. 30 minutes passed and I got tired of waiting. Asked for check and told her, this pink thing is still sitting here, I want it off my check. She came back, placed check down and ran.
Sure enough that pink sweet drink was charged at cost of $7.50. I went to bar to argue. She said she could not take it off check that a manager had to do that and a manager was not there. "But, I never ordered whatever that was." Her reply - it was only a margarita with a shot of grenadine. "Who does that?" Some customers like it that way - which to me meant either they are too drunk to care or since she's young, cute and blonde they forgive her. Since they already had my credit card, I couldn't do anything but demand the drink I ordered.
She arrived back at my table with margarita mix, sans tequila. It wasn't worth drinking mixer for $7.50.
There was no reason for the crappy service and poor kitchen or lousy bar. A woman wiping her nose, making your drink is NOT what you want to see. Getting drinks you can't swallow and didn't order and being charged for them is NOT what I signed up for last night. Getting the inverse sandwich and appetizers that aren't served with any sauces... what kind of place does that? BAD BAD BAD, all counts.
