| - Based on other reviews, I was very excited to take my hubby here for his birthday dinner. I made reservations as I expected a busy Saturday night. I was right. We had to wait for our table at the bar but that was fine.
There were a few young ladies and another lady who I assume is the owner serving. This is where I think relying on your staff to serve a section is really important as although the food was great, the service was terrible.
After ordering our meals (of which owner was walking away from the table before I finished ordering), I was only offered one glass of water with my food for the whole evening. Hubby got a Coke but no offer for water. Dinner arrived and it was really good...I could understand the previous reviews. But no one came to check on us to see if we were ok. But, the owner managed to check in many times with the table beside us.
Another server came by to take our plates and asked if we would like coffees or espressos. Espressos sounded great in keeping with the theme and would have been nice with dessert. They only had two items for dessert and no dessert menu, so if you have a sweet tooth, I would suggest dinner at 5-6 pm, and not 8 pm like we did. Anyways, the pecan pie came which Owner made and it was really good. But no espressos! As owner was hurriedly walking away with our plate, I asked about the espressos and she said no one told her. We did get them...after dessert.
Soon after we were finished, another waitress arrived with the bill at our table. Funny, I didn't ask for the bill. It wasn't busy and no where near closing time.
We really enjoyed the food but we didn't appreciate the service at all. Hubby tried to make the best of it, but I was embarrassed to take him to a restaurant that treated us like an inconvenience. I mean, if i wasn't interested in being served, we could've gone to McDonald's or some other fast food place. Instead, we supported a local business and this was our "thanks" in return.
Their food saved this review or it would have been one star based on their service. I'm not sure if we will come back.
