| - Who is the obnoxious broad on the front door?
My wife and I had dinner at The Cornerhouse during the summer. The service and food were excellent, and the waiter paired some nice wines with our dinner. However the hostess was rather loud, and seemed to be constantly barking orders at the rest of the staff. And there seemed to be alot of swearing coming from the kitchen, the 'f bomb' in particular.
Another couple invited us there for dinner last Friday evening. This was the first night of the Winterlicious restaurant festival here in town. We all arrived on time and that same hostess told us it would be a few minutes for our table. We waited for about twenty minutes. Hey, it's a weekend night in a busy place, and it happens. I felt though that they could have offered us a drink or a comp appetizer, but they did not. We finally got to our table and felt absolutely rushed from the start. Bread was plopped down even before we got water, and even before the waiter came over to say hi.
The waiter then arrived and asked us what we would like to drink, and we were still trying to decide on our wine. He then asked us to order our dinners. It seemed they needed the table back in under an hour and a half. We took a couple of moments, feeling the constant gaze of the staff for us to hurry, hurry, hurry. Our appetizers arrived in record time, even before our wine arrived. My wife was still eating her app when someone cleared the other app plates. As soon as my wife was finished, someone swooped in and took her plate, and our dinners were immediately plopped down on the table. They didn't even change our cutlery that we used to eat our appetizers. Same thing with our desserts. The dinner plates were cleared, and our desserts were served before anyone offered us coffee. We did get new cutlery for our desserts. Our coffee arrived, and the waiter gave us our bill a moment later. We asked for coffee refills, and a moment later we could overhear that woman barking to the waiter that we couldn't have refills. Then, to make us feel more uncomfortable, someone came by and started to clear our empty water glasses, We hadn't even paid the bill yet, WHICH WAS OVER TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY DOLLARS (four dinners, two bottles of wine, plus taxes) !!! We had been sitting there for only one hour and twenty minutes.
We were kindly told by the server that they needed the table back, as they had a considerable amount of reservations. I will point out that he seemed ill at ease, somewhat stressed out, as were the rest of the staff. I cannot imagine why. Could it be from that woman constantly harranging them? She wouldn't shut up. We paid our bill, and feeling sorry for the waiter, tipped him well, considering that it would be tough to work in a place like that.
THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A ZERO STAR REVIEW, BUT YELP WON'T ALLOW FOR UNDER ONE STAR. WE DID NOT ENJOY THIS EXPERIENCE, AND WE WILL NOT BE BACK. THEY OVERBOOK THIS PLACE FOR WINTERLICIOUS, AND HAVE TO RUSH THEIR GUESTS OUT TOO QUICK. THAT STINKS FROM GREED, THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. AND THEY GOTTA DO SOMETHING TO SHUT THAT WOMAN UP. SHE HAS NO EFFING CLASS !!!
