My first visit three months ago was pretty bad and I initially gave the restaurant 3 stars. That review read: "Burgers are OK. Fries are above average. Slow service and high prices knock this spot down a bit."

My second visit has lead me to drop the restaurant down to 1 star with good reason. I revisited, after being contacted by the restaurant and asked to give them another chance. Fair enough. I visited again. Same experience as the first. What brings us down to 1 star is this: the restaurant's front-facing all-male staff's completely inappropriate handling of a table of men making loud, inappropriate comments about women. That table wanted me to leave after I tried to engage them about gender politics and women in technology (and they laughed at and ignored me). Instead of addressing the behavior of that table, I was presented with my check before I was done and pushed out. The restaurant is not responsible for customers acting like jerks. The restaurant is, however, responsible for how the staff handle customers making discriminatory comments. Siding with the bullies is never the correct response. I will absolutely not be returning.
