| - "Should Had Known Better Based On Our Waiter's Attitude To Walk Away"
Went there for a late dinner on 11/27/2014 with my husband. As soon as we sat down out on the casino floor, my husband left to take a call. The waiter came by with a rather "I don't want to be here, but I have to, so deal with it" attitude. I asked him for his recommendation on their Croque Madame Sandwich was since I had previously had it at the Mom Ami Gabi there at Paris and found it be extremely bad. His response was why did you have it? Well because I normally like them, and it turned out to not be so good. He then said, "if you didn't like theirs, I am pretty sure you won't like the one from here either, their food is better." "Ok, we are off to a good start" I thought. When my husband returned, he looked tired and hungry, so I did not mentioned the conversation I had with our waiter.
The waiter came back, and disdainfully took our orders. My husband then mention to me, "what is wrong with him, looks like he has an attitude and we just sat down to eat, he seems a bit odd." At this point, I just wanted to eat and go as fast as possible. I had the St. Louis Club and my husband had the Turkey Croissant. Both were less than average. In addition we ordered the Cheese Fondue, it was average at best.
The waiter came by once and asked if we needed more water, my husband said, yes for him. Another 10 minutes went by and my husband decided he would just get the water himself from the waiter station. At this point when he saw my husband headed to get the water he came running and started pouring the water, half of it ended on my husband's plate. He did apologized out of fear my husband would get upset. However, my husband didn't get upset with him; he just brushed it off since we just wanted to leave. At this point, I understood why another couple who was paying their bill when we had just sat down were looking at him in a way like " what is his problem"? Another sign we should have walked away before ordering.
So after a very lack luster, unusual, weird, and nuts dinner, we paid the bill and left. After we left I realized I had left my sweater behind so I told my husband I needed to go back. I did and the waiter mockingly pointed in front of the last group of diners that it was inside and to go get it. Of course my husband was not with me at this point, so he was his old mean, weird, crazy self. I went inside picked up the sweater and ran out rather embarrassed. I really meant to go back and speak to management the next day and tell them about our experience, but just ran out of time. If the restaurant's management hires people like him, then I am sure my words would have fallen on deaf ears. Please do not waste your time and money on this place. It is lovely to look at but it is bad to the core in more ways than one.
