| - Ok, so Hal's has decent bar food, decent atmosphere and a decent beer selection. That's where it ends. First, the service is abysmal. We walked in at 7 P.M. on Wednesday night and stood at the front for 15 minutes before anyone came and got our name for a table. The girl walked up and said "have you been helped?", I said "no", She said What's your name and how many?", I said "Greg, 2" and she says "ok, thanks" and walks away, not to be seen again. No time frame, no nothing. Second, we went to grab a drink at the bar while we were waiting, stood at the bar for 10 minutes before anyone appeared, stood there another 10 minutes before that person found the time to take our order, and was just all around rude. Finally, after an hour wait, we got seated. After the waitress saw we already had drinks, she continued on about her business as if we were good without even asking. We saw her a total of 4 times, once when we were seated, once after we got our food to see how it was and finally to drop off and pick up the check. Management needs to do some serious training on their waitstaff. I was a server for many years and the most important rule is to never blame your bad service on being busy. There are no excuses for this level of bad. By the way, this is the 2nd bad experience I've had with the service here, so its not just a fluke. Train your servers and you have a great little place, continue to allow it and you'll rapidly lose customers.
