| - So I have been going to Tides for years, wrote a great review and love the place so much my boyfriend took me there for my birthday yesterday.
Good food, average service, nice atmosphere, then I saw it, a server, with long hair not pulled back by the way, is walking across the room with a damp wipe in her hand, she sneezes, into the wipe, drops it on the floor, picks it up and proceeds to wipe down three tables with it. I was so dumbfounded I yelled, I then got the (I can only assumes) mgrs. attention, he came over, I was stuttering I was so upset, told him what happened and he smiled and said he didn't see it, I said I did and it happened. He smiled and said he will talk to her, I said I will yelp and he laughed. As I was leaving the server crossed my path, I said "what you did was disgusting!!" she asked what, I said dropping the wipe then wiping the tables not to mention the sneeze, she still had it in her hand, she says "oh I'm sorry " she acknowledged that it happened, That was it!!!! So I am scared to death that this is not uncommon practice, that I am the one that's out of line and that scares the hell out of me because is that the same wipe that wipes the edge of my plate I almost threw up.
I am from an area where seafood is prevalent, it is not here, I loved Tides for its oysters and crab but it will never happen again I have eaten many many many places and NEVER seen such a blatant disregard for sanitation. Shame on you for the training and the flippant attitude your staff has.
I gave it one star to get the attention of readers, it deserves no stars, it deserves a call to dirty dining, if this goes on right in front of us what on earth happens in the back?
