| - My brother got married last weekend and was staying at the Plaza. We ended up at JDs for a celebratory early dinner because Remington's was closed on Sundays.
We seated ourselves on the patio area and it would be several minutes before our server Josh appeared. I told him that we were celebrating my brother and his new wife married that afternoon. Josh responded rather sarcastically "Good luck". We were all a little stunned by this remark. I don't remember my exact response but it was something like "at least pretend to be happy for them". Josh held up his left hand to show his wedding band and told us "I'm married ... Good luck". Wow. What a crappy server. You have marriage troubles? So sorry, but don't project your negativity and sarcasm on someone else's happy day. Fake it till you make it, buddy.
We ordered drinks but never got a glass of water as you would receive in every other American restaurant.
We ordered our food and I think ended up putting for a second round of drinks at the same time. It was at this point hat Josh seemed to try to turn it around. All of the sudden he was trying to be friendly - saying he would ensure our drinks were perfect blah blah.
Food comes along....Ho hum. My brother had the salmon with veggies. You know those frozen mixed vegetables that come in the microwaveable steamer bags by Green Giant? Yeah, he got those. At least that's what the side looked like to me. I had tomato, onion and green pepper fajitas with some shrimp- oh wait, sorry, "Shrimp fajitas" is how they were advertised on the menu. With Mission brand flour tortillas. My boyfriend's Cuban sandwich looked good but he only shrugged when I asked how it tasted. That was the general consensus amongst all of us: the food was "Meh". My boyfriend quipped "Coco's by any other name..."
So We brought in a little cake and Josh is trying to be "Super Friendly Helpful Server" now and offered to bring us plates and even offered to cut the cake for us. I guess he finally realized his tip was on the line. I recognize that he did try salvage his service but it was too little too late.
In the end we had a $200 bill, half was drinks. The drinks were good. The food was overpriced, bland fare comparable to Coco's. The service was a little slow. It was a Sunday afternoon, no Big Game was on, not crowded. We weren't in a rush or anything, but it just added to the poor experience.
Hope Josh gets some job and marriage counseling to help with his attitude. As for us, we will never, ever return to JD's.
