| - Poor service is putting it too kindly. In fact in this day and age, I can rightly fully say it was downright racism. They weren't even subtle about it. We walked in on a Friday night and they were fairly busy but we were seated within 10 minutes. However, it quickly went downhill from there.
The server came by fairly quickly, but we still needed some time with the menu. But then, she decided not to come back.. even after we summoned her. And yet she had time to serve and make chit chat with the people at the tables around us. Then, after she *finally* came by and taking our orders, for another 15 minutes we never saw our drinks or anything else. So I asked her again for our drinks, after seeing her refill the glasses of several of our neighbors, she dismissed me with "he will get it for you when he is free" (pointing at the table busser). Now he clearly didn't get her message, as he was standing around looking for people to refill their water glasses. And so at that point, after more than three incidents of non-service, we just ditched the place.
So you're wondering where the racism was? Bad service was bad service right? Well, when the Asian server in a Chinese Restaurant is diligently serving everyone else (who were all white) and just paying my table (2 Chinese Americans) lip service, well that just smacks of dining in the segregated deep south in the 60s.
I hope one never has to experience that kind of treatment here or anywhere else. But you have to wonder... if they do this to someone, could they do this to you? Even if you've never gotten the same treatment, how would you feel about this establishment knowing that they discriminate?
