WORST .., literally. Worst service EVER. We didn’t even get a chance to sit down yet. The woman running the podium (Sherry should not be dealing with people. Absolutely running around like a chicken with her head cut off. Rude to customers, even more rude to the poor woman behind the bar. Barking orders to everyone, barely calling out names to people who are waiting for tables, mumbled the name once, then mumbled a second time, and before the name was out of her mouth the second time, said “going twice”, and then said, forget it went on to the next people (group of 4 . The bar area was busy, which is where people have to stand, so it’s difficult to hear. We were told that a table would take about 20 minutes. We stood there for 50, (our choice , and watched obvious locals come in (they chatted up other folks there, as well as bartenders who seemed very friendly and sweet , and be seated ahead of us. We watched a couple come in. Stand there literally for seven minutes after chatting and be seated. Saw their name be put on the list in front of ours. I questioned, then was told they had a “reservation on the phone”. Suddenly. NO apologies or even updates, zero. They don’t care. It’s a revolving door, and if you’re lucky enough to get in when the door is spinning around, then good for you. It wasn’t even busy when we walked in and thought we were lucky. It turned into a madhouse about 10 minutes later. Our name was on the list in the third spot when we walked in. A group of three people ahead of us, and another pair. No one else. How that turned into us standing there for 50 minutes watching couple after couple be seated, I have no idea. Had nothing to do with reservations. As we turned around after waiting PATIENTLY that long, obviously upset, we got a sarcastic “have a nice day“. This is how they treat people who are obviously new to the area and not local. New faces. My jaw is literally still on the ground. DON’T bother i’m sure there are many other wonderful food establishments and restaurants who deserve and will APPRECIATE your business. (PS; the other two groups were also NOT happy!!!
