Okay, here we go! Had a reservation today and was seated right away, even asked for a table with a good view and got it!! Big plus…. Until the service killed everything I expected (1st time here). Waiter ( didn’t get his name, no name tag, Hispanic male with short shorts) Person #1 ordered iced tea, when the tea was gone (which was mostly ice) he picked up the glass from the table, not a word and walked away. We thought maybe he went to get a refill as he said nothing. When she asked if she could get a refill, he acted stunned and was like “refill” all confused, well he then says no that this from a bottle and that’s it, you only get that glass as to insinuate that’s all that was in the bottle? We were still totally confused. Well if it from a bottle, and that’s all you get ( pretty sure that whole bottle did not fit in the glass of ice), but walked away and offered no further explanation. Anywho, rude about it. Person #2 had a draft beer and when he was done, that glass was also picked up without a word and not even would you like another as any server would have done! Also person #1 ordered a Greek salad with chicken that came out about 10 minutes after everyone else’s meal (Table of 4). But not one time did they say anything. Person #2 ordered a burger RARE ( I know, yuck) but it was far from rare but didn’t send it back, he just ate it anyway. Person #3 had a medium RARE burger that was perfect. I will say, the food was absolutely amazing and delicious (reason for the 3*) however due to the poor service, we may never return. If you dare to brave the poor customer service, the linguini pesto was amazing, added chicken! Birdseye, suggestion to remind staff of customer service and proper etiquette with customer’s. Our server was not the only rude one! ** the young tall blonde kid with blue shirt was very kind ( he is the one who sat us).
