| - I've been waiting for this place to open and this week it was their "soft" opening, so they were only open from 5-9pm. This place was packed since it opened and the wait and service brings this down a star.
We tried to make reservations over the phone, not possible. So we arrive and have to wait another 30 minutes to be seated. That's fine. Typical, for a new busy place. However, once we were seated, it took about another 5-10 minutes for a server to wait on us for drinks and to ask for our orders.
The killer: We waited over 40 minutes for our food to arrive. After 30 minutes, I even reminded the waitress about our food, and she had to ask what we ordered again. I'm almost positive if I didn't remind her, we may have never gotten our dinner.
What we ordered:
Max's Platter - It came with a quarter chicken (honestly I have had better tasting chicken) along with a choice of two noodles, and rice or fries.
Kare-kare - Peanut butter based dish with beef/oxtail, and veggies. It was good but I could tell it was sitting on a counter for awhile, because it gets that solid film over the top as it cools down. The veggies were a bit too crunchy, the beef was okay but there was not enough.
Drinks were refill-able.
The place inside was nice and clean though.
Will have to try to review it again when they have their "grand" opening.
