After many trips to AB, and a varying degree of experiences I feel compelled to offer up a review.
Location is fantastic - convenient for anyone and any occasion.
Menu is OK - no wow to it. Best thing there are the pretzels!
The biggest complaint I have is the almost too common, TERRIBLY SLOW service.
I recently went to AB with a group of 6 people for lunch at 130pm. Mind you, lunch rush was over. Took a little too long to get seated because we had called ahead and made a reservation - still had to wait 10 minutes.
After being seated, it took about 15 minutes for our beverages to arrive - sparkling water and lemonade ... really?!?!!? It was even worse when we ordered our food. Everyone ordered a salad, get this, it took a full 20 minutes for the salads to arrive in a half empty restaurant. AB should take notice and fix the problem. More and more restaurants are opening up in downtown, people will have more choices and AB will have to eventually address lousy service.
