The Henry

My fiancé and I went in today for our wedding planning dinner, right before a hard rainfall. There were six other seated guests- almost empty restaurant. The restaurant staff was standing around for ten minutes before noticing us. We were asked for the amount of people that were in our party. I responded with two. We waited another five minutes. That is after I listened to the hosts complain and chat about what they were doing after work. Even the bartenders ignored us. I shared with my fiancé the only reason why we didn’t leave was because it was storming. The host finally grabbed menus and walked us to the table directly behind a large dinner party. I couldn’t help but notice that we were all African American so my guess was that she wanted us to all sit together. I requested for another table - one that was more intimate given that it was the two of us and other guests our size or smaller were towards the front with a view. We picked our own table and was immediately approached by a woman who could have been a waitress (she didn’t identify herself and no name badges were worn) to ask about my dog who was in his dog bag. Then our waiter came. I asked for a glass of water with three lemons. He brought back the water with one lemon and no straws. We ordered the house pretzels with cheese, they came out and the cheese were cold. I never got my lemons and I had to ask for straws and appetizer plates so we can eat. I we ordered the mule and the grapefruit cocktail- cool. Entree I ordered the short rib and substituted the mushrooms for grilled onions because of my mushroom allergy and my fiancé ordered the lobster pasta.

Our food came out. Mine was great. His was overwhelmed with lemon. Had huge chunks of asparagus, and baby peas in there with a half of lobster tail (disgusting and not worth the money. ) I told the waiter, he recommended more bread crumbles that he never brought to the table. At this point I was fed up with the blatant disregard of our President in this restaurant and wanted to leave. I asked for the bill to see that the onions that I asked for were added to our ticket for $10. It’s not okay to blind charge a guest for anything but he did. To add icing to the cake, I overheard him telling the table next to us that he’s discounting their bill because it took the kitchen too long to bring their food when they arrived 30 minutes after we sat down my food being great, I will NEVER EAT HERE again . Hopefully gkj can see the cold cheese through the photos
