| - WORST SERVICE EVER. We were so excited to try out this place, but very disappointed. Such cool decor and so close to my house; I wanted it to be a local favorite like Good Food.
First of all, we were a party of 5 on Sunday evening. The inside was pretty empty, but we wanted an outside table so we said we'd wait. The hostess said it would be about 15-20 minutes; no big deal. All 5 of us head to the bar. We want to order a bottle of wine to share while we wait. Although there are servers behind the bar, no one comes to take our wine order. It takes about 15 minutes to get a bottle of wine and 5 glasses. We keep waiting and a manager comes over and notices and says a table will be ready soon. After about 40 minutes of waiting the original hostess comes over and apologizes - she forgot all about us! Which is difficult to do since we were the only people at the bar.
So we finally get to our table after 40 minutes instead of 20. By this time we are starving because we've waiting 40 minutes. We've all got our meals picked out and as soon as the server comes we start ordering. There was an appetizer special that we got for the table as well as several other apps to share. I have to say, the only saving grace was the oysters. They were all VA oysters and they were delicious! Apparently they do a half price oyster special in the afternoons, but we missed it.
We order our main entrees. When the appetizers come out, the server forgot to tell us he was out of the special. He didn't even remember to tell us this - we has to ask where it was! Then, my husband and another guest ordered a salad - but only one came out! Again, the server never apologized or remembered. It wasn't until we asked where it was that he realized he forgot it.
Lastly, we finished the first bottle of wine. One of the guests asked for another bottle; instead they brought out a single glass! They fixed that and brought out another bottle, but it was just annoying by this point.
Overall the food was decent; but pricey. Again, the only way I would ever go back is to have the raw oyster happy hour. And that's only because I LOVE raw oysters.
Such a disappointment!
