| - Worst. experience. ever. I've been in the business, so I know how things roll and tend to be more forgiving and a big tipper. Went for lunch with my mom before she left town, so it was supposed to be a pleasant experience.
Ordered our food and noticed that when we said we wouldn't be having any alcohol, the waitress's demeanor completely changed. She brought our coffee and then our food. And never returned.
I saw her standing, chatting with other wait staff, but she never looked over, so I went over and nicely asked if we could get a refill. She looked at me like I was a big pain in the ass and said, "I'll be there in a minute" and turned around and continued to chat.
I've NEVER not tipped - even this woman - she got a penny. In restaurant speak it means, "I didn't forget your tip - this is all your service was worth". It's considered an insult.
On the way out I told the manager what happened. He never apologized or offered to comp anything. He just said, "Yeah, they're unionized. Not much I can do"
This happened a few years back, but I've never been back since - and reading the current reviews, I don't think I ever will.
Because it was such a horrible experience, I later stopped at a cafe with a nice atmosphere to remove the stench before I went home. Had such an amazing experience, that I became a regular and still frequent the place.
Mr. Greenjeans started out as a really cool restaurant/plant store, but it has strayed WAY off the garden path.
