| - When I think of the word Remedy I think of the a resolution to a problem, or a cure to a sickness. Not Large glasses of Ice cold beverages and delicious Burgers or fish tacos. So with that said, this place is definitely the Remedy to at least one thing... The need for a great plate of food and cold drinks. This is definitely more of a locals joint since it does sit pretty far off the beaten path when it comes to those that are coming into town to go hang out in the human fish bowl AKA the strip. A group of friends decided to go out and before heading over to the KISS golf we hit up Remedy's.
Walking in you come into a dark room and it is like the create your own story situations. Go right you end up in a dining room. Go left and you enter the land of enjoyment... Okay that is quite a bit overboard. When you go left you end up in the bar. This is not your average bar. they offer bar seating, tall table seating around the outside perimeter and more of a living room type setting with comfy chairs and small tables perfect for hanging out with that "someone" you would like to have a more intimate conversation with. Okay, again, that may be a little overboard. It is a bar, not a romantic setting so that intimate conversation may have to wait. Overall the decor and atmosphere of this place is nicer than your average bar here in town and in my opinion takes PT's in a fight hands down.
Now lets talk about the service for a moment, our initial server came to the table to help us and she was great, outspoken and easily adjusted to all the personalities at our table. Now here is where I think they need to rethink the hiring. Our server let us know that she was helping to train a new girl and the new girl is one of the owners friends. That alone should have been a red flag. The "new Girl" came to the table with our waters, didn't say one word and set one of the water glasses on the ledge of the 2 tables that had been put together and spilled it everywhere and instead of grabbing a towel or something she looks at all of us and says, "OMG are you guys already drunk......" Now, let me start off by saying, if we had been drunk I don't know that I would have appreciated her trying to call someone out like that and second take the blame for your mistake. Once the other waitress came back and apologized we moved on with the meal. Take a second and picture yourself sitting at a bar with your friends and they have some great rock music playing the atmosphere is just right and then the new girl comes to bring you your food and everyone is joking and have a good time and one of the guys at the table makes a comment about the fact that AHA's Take on me just came on the jukebox so he says," wow this song sucks" and the New Server of the establishment you are eating at looks at you and says... " Whatever" and turns and walks off. Hmmm, someone new to the service industry?? Unfortunately you wont make it very long in a bar atmosphere with that attitude. Needless to say, the service from all of the other servers was great, they had awesome personalities and were very friendly but the owners friend/new girl is going to need to work on a few things... Okay quite a few things.
The Food was hands down better than the standard bar food I have had around town. The BBQ Burger was awesome and the fish tacos were spot on. I can not say anything negative about the food, especially since the appetizers, meal and drinks were all spot on. Basically to sum up my experience at Remedy's I would say that the food was great, the original server and one other server were awesome and the new girl was a complete downer. I would go back but I would also make sure to sit in another section to hopefully not be served or not served by the server we dealt with.
