| - The food was very good, no doubt. Bang Bang shrimp, bread with a pesto dipping sauce, corn chowder with crab, Caesar salad with blackened shrimp, Maryland crab cakes, potatoes au gratin ... It was all very yummy (though admittedly a little heavy for lunch). I would definitely come back for the food.
But the service was just meh. We had to ask for bread three times, and each time the excuse was "we're waiting for it to come out of the oven." Then why wasn't it hot when it finally came to the table? Toilet paper dispensers in the bathroom were mostly empty even though we were among the first customers of the day. And paying for the bill took forever. Granted, we threw them some curveballs with our coupons, but it still took entirely too long for them to tell us that the coupons wouldn't work and to process the bill. Manager also seemed a little rude and kept our coupon because he thought we were trying to scam the joint -- no, buddy, we were using a valid coupon that's worked at other locations, and it's never been a problem before. Don't appreciate the feeling that you're treating us like criminals when we also happen to be the only group of foreigners in the place.
To end on a good note: the host was the cutest. Happy and clearly enjoys his job. He danced all around the patio when preparing for new guests, singing Taylor Swift!
