The Bbq Duo - Roseville

We made reservations for a business meal for 4 people, we were seated in a small booth which isn't ideal for a business meeting, but more importantly the service was poor and extremely slow. The server was slow to take our drink and food orders, and the food did not come out at the same time. Two meals came out, the 3rd came 5 minutes later, and the 4th was about 10 minutes after that. Overall, we were there an hour and 40 minutes... while the table next and seated immediately after us ordered, ate and left all before we got our food.

It was Thanksgiving and one of a handful of open restaurants. We were seated quickly but the good service stopped there. Cocktails were expensive and tasted cheap, barely palatable. Food was okay but was very overpriced. $250 later (3 people), we should have made grilled cheese at home :

Despite a reservation we weren't seated until 20 minutes past. I asked why and the hostess said the people had been there for almost 3 hours even though reservations are made in 90 minute blocks, they won't kick them out. The food was terrible! The server noticed I didn't eat my meal and removed it from the tab without me telling her I was displeased. Would not come back!

My wife and I had reservations for her birthday. I had the seafood pasta and my wife had the steelhead salmon en cassolette. The linguine in the seafood pasta was undercooked and the shrimp tails were smashed and mixed through the dish. It felt like I was eating small pieces of rubber at every bite. The salmon in my wife's dish was undercooked/raw in certain sections. We ate as much as we could and left. It was so busy that we felt like complaining would just cause more havoc. Plus, my wife asked me not to complain. I am hopeful that the restaurant will see this and avoid these situations for future guests.

Our server was very knowledgeable and went through each entree to even make sure we liked all the garnishes that accompany the main event. We went for a birthday celebration and every person had a great experience.
