The Squealing Pig

On Memorial day, we dined out at the Squealing Pig West Roxbury (not on the OpenTable network, and, I am glad for that) and experienced really poor service.

I’ve waited tables at restaurants. Because of that, I am always apt to cut servers a lot of slack. It is a difficult job and, as a waiter/waitress, you cannot control every element of the dining experience, even though you are the face of the dining experience. That said, I usually don’t complain about service unless it is abominable. And this was.

This review could have been 5 stars if the issue of the service experience was in a positive way.The food was great, delicious but the service was atrocious, the waitress was a disgrace to the craft..She was just plain rude and we felt unimportant unrespected through out the meal. Looking back, I think I should have asked the manager for a different server as soon as things got off course. Other servers brought out our food were very friendly.

Diners can behave badly, too, and negatively impact their own dining experience. However, great service has the transformative power of making a mediocre meal fantastic. Terrible service can overpower any food, no matter how carefully prepared and delicious it may be..
