| - Well, for those that don't want to read a novel I'll break it down:
The food is really good. The service SUCKS. It was seriously dreadful.
Unfortunately we won't be coming back.
I had dinner there last night with my parents. We were all excited to go, cuz someone told us it was really good. I really don't like leaving a negative review for places, but It was that bad.
We came in about 7pm, and we went to the hostess stand. She just kind of stared at us, and never greeted us. Not a hello, nothing. Ok, whatever, maybe shes having a bad night or something. So we tell her that we'd like a table for 3. The other hostess came over to seat us, and kind of dropped menus in front of us on the table and just left. No "hi" or anything. It was weird.
The restaurant was a little busy, but there were still many open tables and a lot of FOH employees on the floor. It was a normal dinner time type of busy. Not anything extreme.
Our server comes over and gets our drink order, and right off the bat he seems to really not want to be there. OhhhhKay.... do we like have the plague or something and not know?? We'd really like to know if we are contagious or something.
The food DID come out quickly, and we really enjoyed our appetizer. But, we would have enjoyed it even more IF WE HAD SILVERWARE AND NAPKINS. Like we tried to get ANYONE'S attention to get silverware, but employes passed our table and glanced at us, then pretended not to see us! omg! So we used our 3 beverage napkins. We seriously tried to obtain some utensils. It was super lame.
A runner came out and delivered our meals, and then she tried to bounce out all quick! So, we flagged her down as she was leaving and asked for silverware. And I hate flagging down an employee because I think it's rude and tacky, but we couldn't get ANYONE'S attention any other polite way.
Our server did keep our drinks topped off, but I would have loved to get another beer - but I couldn't!!! I was never asked if I wanted another, and I could not get him to stay at the table for more than like 3 seconds. By the end of our dinner, we actually laughed amongst ourselves because the service was unbelievably bad. We actually felt uncomfortable there. What sucks is we went there to enjoy ourselves, and the food was good. But wow... we made contact with 4 employees there and they all seemed standoffish, unfriendly, and we got the feeling that they all hated their job. Like they really hated it. I'd go as far to say they despised working there. I mean, is there like a horrible manager there that they all hate?? We felt like we entered the twilight zone.
As I stared longingly at my empty beer glass we got the 68 dollar check, paid and left. At least, at this very point we got a "thank you"! That was nice, however too late to retain us as customers. What's sad is we really enjoyed the food, but we felt very uncomfortable. We were kind of annoyed that we felt obligated to tip, but we felt like it's just not right to not tip someone.
So yeah... AKWARD!!!
