As someone in the restaurant industry, after 25 years, this is the first derogatory review I have ever left for a restaurant. We had seen this restaurant many times but have never had the opportunity to stop here. When arriving home after a trying day at work, I asked my husband to take me there as it seemed to be the perfect way to end this day. To state the positive: the menu is eclectic and every item ordered was prepared perfectly; the environment was busy and inviting; small and charming. Unfortunately, we sat at the bar. There were two bartenders, one was a male with tattoos and a younger female. He took our initial drink order. After that, we were left to sit there as he continuously walked by and looked quite displeased to be there, he never looked up to ask if we were ready to order or to see how our drinks were or if we needed additional drinks. The young female was kind, and once I stopped her to order drinks, she was sweet and accommodating. She asked my husband if he wanted an additional drink and then asked us about our food order. We happily gave her our order. She then asked if I needed another drink, which I ordered. As we were waiting for our food, we watched as the disgruntled looking male continuously walked by. He looked like he was busying himself to close the restaurant. When we received the food, we ate it and was never checked on to see if everything was satisfactory or if we needed anything else. My husband and I ate our meal while we watched the male bartender continuously walk by without an ounce of acknowledgement. Honestly, after having a hard day and going out of my way to ask my husband to take me there, I felt uncomfortable and disappointed! My husband and I were ready to leave. I felt the restaurant must be closing soon since the male bartender was more focused on putting things away than the customers! I stopped the young female bartender and asked to pay our check. I was quite verbal about our discomfort - honestly, to my husband’s embarrassment because he has never seen me so verbal. She was, again, sweet and tried to assure us that they were not closing and that we were welcome to stay as there were still customers waiting for their dinners. I thanked her but explained how uncomfortable we were made to feel being ignored and completely disregarded by the other bartender. Again, I have never in my life been so openly and publicly honest about my feelings of poor service. The blatant disrespect by the male bartender was a breaking point for me. Honestly, if she had been the only bartender, I would be leaving a five-star review. Sadly, if we could have directed our tip to her, it would have been well beyond the customary 20%! My words to him… SMILE and treat your customers as if they are the ones that are important in the moment; because they ARE!!! They are the ones who tip and the hour or two they may spend at your bar may be what they need to get away from their day; even if for a moment or two. Tattoos are nice; smiles and a welcoming demeanor mean so much more!!! We will never go back as long as that bartender works there - unless we happen to be in the area and starving and can sit at a table!
