| - Really love the vibe of this place and I do enjoy the food however the service is always hit or miss. This past visit was a total miss! Although we were seated promptly on a Saturday night our server was genuinely not interested in being there. Barely spoke and not a smile to be had when I said "HI! How's it going?" We were given waters, the other person dining with me asked for lime and a straw, I did not, so when the server came back, thats all that was provided, even though one would think that the server would have asked if another straw was needed or just place one there anyway! In my experience as a regular diner and being in the service industry its like a given. Ok onto the food, we ordered the Bar Plate and a standard BLT, I know that sounds ridiculous and boring but its what I wanted! When the food came out the Bar plate came out first then the sandwich was delivered on 2 separate plates, I thanked the server for being so kind, little did I know what was to come later. The Bar Plate comes with fresh prosciutto, parmigiana cheese, both green and black olives, pistachios, melon and bread. I felt that the bread was stale, but my dining partner said it was ok. The BLT was good, bacon crispy and they lettuce and tomatoes were fresh and they use just the right amount of mayo (Hellmans).
So now we wait for the bill, instead of the server walking around to our table, she leans across from behind me, from the walking aisle, to place the bill on the table, geez, would it kill you to walk a few extra steps? I look at the bill and notice $2 charge for splitting the sandwich!!!!! Uh Um, I never asked for it to be split, she assumed we would have wanted it that way, and here I thought she was being nice, no, she was still the same server we had in the beginning. When I asked about the charge she said, well werent you going to share it? I said not necessarily, we ordered 2 dishes and they came out at different times, we didnt ask for it to be that way. She said well you shared it anyway. WHAT!!!!! Ok its $2 but its really not ok to just assume these things and maybe had she used her words and told us about this we would have said something.
So overall, food good, service bad. Would want to go back but with so many other options with better service and good food, why bother.
