Hey reader, I came here with a special lady for a special afternoon and the food was great. We had the salmon with salad and the green curry mussels and both plates made us happy.
The service was lacking and that really sucks. I am a fan of interacting with staff who love their jobs and I figured that maybe this guy applied to the wrong location. How could anybody have been so grim, working on a beautiful summer afternoon in the Distillery District during a time when it wasn't even busy? I would describe this grumpy grumpster, but you'd probably recognize him as the mid-thirties male waiter, who wants big tips from big tables. If he was actually providing service, perhaps I could describe him better. Yes, I was green with envy when he was talking up the table with the 6 or 7 older folks seated a few tables behind us since he had no smiles to share with me and my lady =(
I've been working in the service industry since I was 16 and I know boring customers are no fun so I make an effort to be social with staff everywhere. I know I didn't do anything to provoke his cold shoulder since we barely had a chance to have small talk or even exchange glances!
I still left a nice tip ($11+) for a $75 dollar meal for barely any service, in hopes that he can learn to appreciate everybody who walks through the doors.
That guy needs to learn how to turn lemon into lemonade. All he did was deliver the sour.
