| - What a disaster of a place! Wow!
A group of friends got together and decided to have drinks and dinner after work here. We made a reservation to ensure that we would have a table and collected there over a few minutes. the place looks nice. It's clean, bright, and the industrial look and feel works nicely. One side is completely occupied by the U-shaped bar and the woman working there was relatively quick in getting our orders. She did tend to disappear for long stretches of time, so getting refills was a chore.
Once our whole group arrived, we asked her to point us to our table only to find out that was not her task. She pointed to someone else .. who then pointed to a table with a piece of paper on it, so we walked over there. We were quickly provided with more menus than we could use as well as cutlery, and then left to look things over. We decided on an appetizer to share - the nachos - as well as what our main meals would be... and then we waited ... and waited ... and waited some more. About 20 minutes in, I asked a worker who walked by if we were forgotten? She gave me a startled look and ran off without saying a word. However, a few minutes later, our waitress showed up. She only wanted to take our drink order but we "convinced" her to take the appetizer and entree orders as well.
Drinks and the appetizer came out quickly. However, the nachos were a mess. Take tortilla chips that you get in the supermarket, pour some thinned-down Velveeta on a corner of the plate, throw some pickled Jalapenos (maybe 10 slices) over the top, and then garnish with some shredded Kraft "Mexican blend" cheese and serve cold. Not good.
For our entrees we had to wait another 40 minutes. Not sure why it took so long as they were on their regular menu. One of us got the fish sandwich and he said it was practically inedible as it was fried until the whole thing was a brick! Another got the Chicken Fajita Warp which was completely tasteless and room temperature. Other got the Chicken Parmesan plates... and most of it was left in the plates because of overcooking the chicken and a completely uninteresting sauce. We waited for so long and we get ... trash.
The beer menu was also a disappointment. Mostly humdrum offerings that you can pick up in any supermarket around town. Definitely a place to be avoided.
