I was surprised to find the place quite empty for a Sunday evening. Nonetheless, the hostess and our server were very friendly, which made the experience enjoyable. The drink menu offered a decent selection of cocktails and IPAs. However, I must admit that the food felt rather basic considering the prices charged.

One aspect that dampened the experience was the extra charge for credit card payments. In today's world, credit cards are a widely accepted and convenient form of payment, and penalizing customers for using them could distract from an otherwise pleasant dining experience.

As a restaurant operator, recognizing the benefits of credit card payments, such as convenience, security, and the ability for customers to track expenses and earn rewards, is crucial. Removing the additional charge would demonstrate a commitment to customer satisfaction and create a more seamless dining experience.

Moreover, eliminating this fee could attract a larger customer base, as many people rely heavily on credit and debit cards for transactions in the digital age. Adapting to this trend is essential to ensure customers feel welcome and appreciated, remaining competitive in the dining industry.

Additionally, I'm concerned that imposing an extra charge for credit card payments may inadvertently affect the gratuity amount left by customers for the servers. Some patrons might reduce the tip to compensate for the fee, impacting the hardworking staff who contribute significantly to the overall dining experience.

I strongly urge you to reconsider this policy and prioritize customer convenience. Embracing the benefits of credit card payments and removing the extra charge would enhance the overall dining experience. You also need to work on improving the quality of the food to be more in line with the prices you are charging. Until these things are corrected, we won’t be back.
