| - I went to iPic for the first time with a group from work. We had planned the event for a couple weeks, and were going to enjoy a movie with appetizers and drinks in the afternoon.
The theater was just fine. I had no complaints with the seating arrangements or the cleanliness of hte theater. What we did experience, however, is something that needs to be addressed.
We were told that, along with our movie ticket and appetizers, we'd be getting a buttered popcorn per person. This did not happen. We were given no popcorn, and for a business that states that it's included, this is unacceptable. Even an offer would have been appreciated.
We all ordered off the menu, and many of us tried different items. The food, for the most part, tasted okay. Unfortunately, after the movie and as the afternoon progressed, a few of us started to not feel well. Of those of us who got sick, it was because we ate either the chicken flatbread or the sliders. We had upset stomachs and additional issues, and felt weak and queasy all afternoon.
Also, attached to iPic is the bar Salt. A week later, my work decided to have a happy hour function at Salt to try out the new place. Unfortunately, the service was awful. With a group of 20 of us, you'd think that a server or bartender would come serve us right? Wrong. We were standing around for 20 minutes without any acknowledgment of our presence. Finally, after one person asked for a server, they sent over one server to take all our drink orders while 2 other servers and 2 bartenders stood around not doing anything. Then, the drinks took entirely too long to make.
Along with this experience, we had preordered some appetizers with the manager beforehand. Not only did he not place the order, but when he was tracked down for them, he said he'd take care of it right away and didn't. Then he hid in the back and wasn't heard from the rest of the evening.
We will definitely not be going to this place again, which is unfortunate for them, as we work right across the street and have these events pretty often.
Do not go for the food or the service. You'll be disappointment (and made sick) by each.
