| - PLEASE READ. We were just there last week. The waitress at first was very nice and chatty, the cook even came over an chatted for a moment. At first we were feeling pretty welcomed and looking forward to a nice brunch. The food came out at various times as if it was being prepared one dish, one pancake at a time.?? This would have been ok but the timing of the food was between 5-10 minutes apart. There were 6 of us. So by the time the last dish was served, most of our table had finished eating.
It gets worse. The waitress obviously was drunk at 11am. She kept sitting at our table making small talk. She wreaked of alcohol. My friend, who was visiting out of town, was quite put off by her because she "shared something personal,"...that she doesn't get paid to work there??? What? Why she felt we needed to know this became apparent when we paid the check. ( which she added up while sitting with us uninvited) We gave her $100 bill. The bill was $40. She took the money and came over and kissed my friend and sat down again. Really bizarre. Meanwhile we were waiting for our change. We wanted to move on with our day, as the whole meal took so long to be served.
She kept chatting at our table, while we waited patiently for our change. The cook came over again and started to dance. Which would have been ok, but we realized that they were trying to distract us from the fact that we had not received change, we were sitting next to the register.
My friend spoke up and asked for the change.
The look on the waitress face was like someone had ripped her off. Did she actually think we were leaving a $60 tip? Really. The cooks face went from friendly to not so friendly. WTF? We aren't stupid. Come on.
She got up, finally, huffing and puffing, went and got our change. The "friendliness" ended right there. No thank you, have a nice day, nothing. You would have thought she knew us for years the way she sat with us throughout our meal. Yeah. No!
It was quite obvious that we were being swindled from the get go.
I'm pissed off and embarrassed that I brought my visitors there, and they had to witness that.
Medina needs to shut this place down. I have no doubt that this is a common practice there. We will never be back, and I will be visiting chamber of commerce and notifying everyone I can. Medina square has come to far to have this crappy business ripping people off.
