State Park

Worst service. My partner and I were the first in our group to arrive and we were seated promptly (which was great!) only to have a hostile server. When placing our order we asked what was on draft: ignored. She came back after a few minutes, then refused to place our food order at the same time as our drinks. We had only asked for one beer and one burger. She returned a few minutes after that and it’s like the order never happened. She then became hostile, asking if we had spoken with a different server, gesturing towards the seats where the rest of our party would sit, rolling her eyes, and giving us an awful attitude the entire time. The poor dead bug on the table had to watch all of this.

She then proceeded to walk outside, talk to the host, and had the host come inside to ask us to give the rest of our table to another group of people that just walked in who “wanted to eat,” as if we hadn’t just ordered food, as if we hadn’t gotten the table for 6 of us, as if there weren’t tables in the rest of the restaurant or outside, or as if every other table in the room was stacked with food (there were no plates in sight at any table, one of which was getting up to leave a perfectly available spot).

I have no idea where the hostile energy came from, whether it was the fact that we were a queer POC couple holding hands, that we had an outrageous order of a beer and a burger, or that someone was simply having a bad night. I have not felt so unwelcome in a space.

I love the cool spots Cambridge and Somerville have to offer, and have made some phenomenal relationships with these places. AVOID this one!
