| - This new restaurant suffers from what can only be called an identity crisis.
I went here for the first time last week to try out " the new place that took over Teakwood's location" and encountered the following troubling items. Knowing this place just opened, I figured I would give it one more shot and went again this week for dinner and drinks. Unfortunately, my experience was the same.
1. The service was friendly, but suuuuuuuuper slow - it took a minimum of 20 minutes just to get a cocktail and 45 minutes to get my food - the restaurant and bar were not busy.
2. The woman's bathroom smells like a "porta potty" - strong urine smell - absolutely disgusting. If the women's restroom door was propped open, it actually smelled up the rest of the restaurant.
3. The food was blah and uninspired, there is absolutely nothing special about anything they served. Additionally, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the menu at all; mac and cheese, enchiladas, burgers? This isn't Applebees...choose a genre of food and stick to it.
4. There seems to be little to no communication between anyone on the wait staff or the bar staff making asking for something, i.e. condiments, extra napkins, another drink, etc, a pain. Their response is painfully slow and then I would receive either doubles of what I asked for or nothing at all.
As for the overall restaurant - there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either...it seems to be suffering from, as I mentioned earlier, an identity crisis.
So - I want Teakwoods back - it was fun, laid back, had a pub kind of feel, the food and service was good, the bathrooms didn't stink, and so forth.
I won't be giving this new place any more of my business. I'm all for supporting a local eatery, but this time, two strikes and their out.
The one good thing about this restaurant? The wait staff was painfully friendly...I mean incredibly friendly, which was great.
