| - Update: The first 5 or 6 times I ate at Uncle Sal's it was amazing. However, it has gotten worse and worse since then. On our most recent visit (on a Tuesday night) it was pretty busy. After being ignored at the hostess stand for what felt like 5 minutes, I was finally told it would be "about 15 minutes" for a table for two. After 45 minutes to an hour, and after every other group of people who came in after us were seated, we were finally seated in that "oh, shit, I forgot to seat these people who have been waiting way too long that even though I wrote their name down on the list I seemed to keep skipping over them for no apparent reason". It was uncomfortable.
We were finally sat in the back section of the restaurant where there were a good 5 or 6 open tables around us. After waiting 10 minutes for our flustered waitress (who never apologized for the wait or introduced herself) to finally come over, she asked if we were ready to order our food yet. Didn't tell us any specials, didn't ask if we have any questions, didn't even give us a chance to order a bottle of wine... We saw her one more time the rest of the night when she brought our check with out even thanking us.
Oh, and the food was disgusting on that night. My pene vodka tasted like frozen Michelana's, and my boyfriends shrimp fettucini alfredo was inedible. The shrimp were so over cooked they were hard and crunchy, and the alfredo sauce was so tastless and heavy it gave us both a stomach ache. At this point I was so annoyed I didn't even have the energy to complain to the arrogant host/manager that forgot about us for an hour.
Hopefully in the summer time it will have slowed down a bit and they will get their shit together. They obviously don't operate well when they're busy. It was like being on Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares
