| - The short form of my two experiences at Bar Fancy: the food is good, the service is so incredibly terrible I will never return.
The long form of my two experiences at Bar Fancy:
The first time I went to Bar Fancy I chose the spot for a friend's birthday. As someone who loves trying all the talked-about places in the city, I usually get to choose the spot for various events. In their defense, we did walk in with a group of 10 people. The way they handled the situation could have been significantly better. Even besides the literal (and very visible) eye-rolling we got from the staff when they had to push some tables together, the service was horrible. When an order of nachos was was forgotten, the servers actually blamed US saying that "it got to the table but we'll get you another one". Considering this one was ordered special (cheese on the side) we would have noticed if it had "got to the table". The food came extremely slowly and piecemeal so that my boyfriend got his fried chicken after asking where it was twice and after half the table had already finished their meals.
I tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt and decided I would try it again (with a much smaller group of people).
So, experience number two: I came in with four people. The server got our drink and food orders and everything seemed like my hunch had been right and my previous experience could be chalked up to the amount of people we had -- I was very, very wrong. In the hour and a bit we were there, never once did the server come to ask us how the food was or if we would like another drink (the first ones being done about 20 minutes in to our receiving them). When we finally flagged her down to get our bills and I requested the machine, the server handed it to me without even turning toward me or looking at me. I wish I could leave a GIF of how she handed me this machine. I wouldn't hand anyone anything in that manner.
So, in conclusion, I will never go back to this place. If you want to try the fourth best friend chicken in town and you're willing to sit through excruciatingly poor service to get it, by all means. But you're better off at Stockyards,
