| - Two coworkers and I went to the Counter for lunch yesterday. The entire experience was terrible. When we arrived, the hostess told us it would be about a five minute wait for a table, despite there being at least 6 empty tables that would have fit our party. We waited about 10 minutes before being seated. After we were seated, we sat at the table for at least ten to fifteen minutes without anyone coming over to our table to take our drink or lunch order. So, we decided to just go to the bar and order the food as takeout. While waiting for our takeout order, the hostess attempted to toss trash into the bar trash can (approximately 10 feet away) and missed the can but hit a customer. After about 15 minutes of additional waiting, we received out takeout.
We ordered two Hippie Salads and added grilled chicken breast to them. Those salads were $14 each (because grilled chicken breast adds $4 to the price). We also ordered a Caesar Salad which was $8.50.
Upon returning to the office the discovered the Hippie Salads were fine, even if a bit overpriced. The Caesar Salad, however, was ridiculous. It consisted of THREE leafs of lettuce, a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese, and a few croutons for $8.50!!
I will never return to the Counter. The service is terrible and the food is overpriced.
