I have never posted a review on a restaurant in my life. My recent experience at this establishment has upset me greatly. I understand servers and bartenders and people in general have a bad day but today was different. My wife and I love this restaurant and even went so far as to request information on franchising. Myself and my grandfather-in law sat down and talked numbers. The owner literally stayed at my grandfather in laws home in Arizona to scout future business endeavors. My wife and I came back home to Chicago for a wedding and went to a Cubs game. After the game we decided to visit one of our favorite food places, Cheesies. However, we did not know we would be treated the way we did. My wife sat down as I used the restroom. She asked the bartender if she knew the owner and if he was present to say hey. I came back and we ordered out food. After receiving our food, we ordered drinks. My wife was refused a drink and I was given one without hesitation. After this I asked why my wife was not given a drink and Spencer, the bartender informed me that she was slurring her words and did not need a drink. My wife hadn't had a drink since the 4th inning of the Cubs game. I asked again for him to serve my wife a drink and he refused after giving me my drink. I informed the bartender of my displeasure with the service my wife was receiving and he continued to deny her a drink. Between asking him a second time and finishing our food, about 7 to 9 minutes had passed and we had not seen him. When he finally walked by, I asked him for our bill and refused my drink in disgust for his mistreatment of my wife. He then explained that he will comp our food for the inconvenience and misconception. I love my city and this restaurant. However, I have never been anywhere where my wife has been disrespected the way she was. The disrespect and mistreatment was so blatant and obvious that, when we walked out, a couple customers clapped as we walked out. I absolutely hate politics and respect every race, ethnicity and sexual preference. I have never felt more hate in my life. The political climate has changed this bartender. The manager, Chris, walked up and stuck up for his bartender. As a former manager, I would have never condoned this treatment. We will never visit this establishment again and I hope anyone that respects the general public and political climate will do the same.
