Had dinner there this last Saturday and I ve went back and forth about leaving a review since I ve worked in the restaurant scene and I try to be understanding of all the things that can go wrong when going out to eat but my experience here was awful and I ll never be back. Reservation was for 8 and we waited for twenty minutes which isn t awful, but the 15 minutes we waited at our table after with no greeting or even a look from the many servers who had walked by was unacceptable. When we finally got greeted it was a rushed woman who told us our server Jason would be with us shortly. Moments later we hear her ask Jason to stop by our table and he very loudly says he doesn t have time for anyone else and trots off. Again, it s a rush and probably understaffed but to hear that and still not have our order taken 20 minutes in isn t ok. A server stopped by to get drinks and food put in and ten minutes later she comes back and tells us she s lost our food ticket and needs our order one more time. It s now almost 9 and we haven t even gotten out order in. The calamari was barely cooked and tasteless. The chicken was dry and the chefs choice of veggies to go with mashed potatoes was potatoes. We got our food from a food runner and didn t see any server again until we asked for the box and the check. The whole time I was looking around the place to see if other tables were being treated like this but I didn t see that. The servers looked at my young wife and myself and assumed we wouldn t tip well and we weren t worth the same energy as the other guests. I ll never recommend this place again.
