| - About 5 months ago, after our second time in this place, I gave it a great review. I'm changing my review to a 1 Star after the despicable treatment by the bartender/server (allegedly a relative of the owner).
This time my wife and I brought in 2 other couples. It was a Saturday Evening around 8:00 PM. The place was busy, but still had seats at the bar. It took 10 minutes for the bartender even to acknowledge us, even though we were only 6 feet away (the bar is not that big). It took another 10 minutes to take our drink order. We were patient and in a good mood. It took 5 more minutes to get a seat. By then, half the place had emptied out. Our orders were timely taken but the food came out slow. Nonetheless, the food was good and our table was happy and chatting. Near the time we were finishing our plates, the bar tender was carrying a bin of glasses from the bar to the back. I guess it was a semi-tight squeeze behind my chair. I can't help it where they sat us. I was sitting like normal, pulled up to the table as I was still eating. The BT bumped a picture on the wall with the container she was carrying and the picture swiveled but didn't fall. She got mad about hitting it and SLAMMED her container to the ground. I jumped from the noise that surprised me. I thought she dropped it. The ladies with me were aghast, they all said she slammed it intentionally. As we started talking about it, the BT walked by and muttered some expletive about me sitting too far into the isle. I told her I was sorry but didn't realize it and would have tried to shuffle in closer to the table had she just told me. She rudely dismissed me. Then the other server came over to ask if we needed anything else. We told her, "yeah, the Manager". She said she was the manager. The ladies told her the story. By now we were upset. The BT, from behind the bar says "I can hear you, you know". We respond in kind that she can listen all she wants. The BT then came to the table and slammed a glass down on the table with a Big Bang and says "This one just sat here with his legs all stretched out and spread like he owns the place" (not true by the way). After that I can't remember the words that were exchanged.
The Manager finished our service but No apologies, even though she was obviously embarrassed.
All I can say now is "what * ............." (I think I'll keep that comment to myself).
