The Rail - Grandview

We made plans to eat at The Rail for my Wife’s birthday as a party of four. This place was highly recommended by several people, so we decided to indulge on my wife’s special day 🙂🎉

When we arrived, one of the hosts told us it’d be a 15-30 minute wait which is completely understandable. When we asked about leaving a phone number, one of the hosts said “oh no don’t worry about that, you can just sit over there and we’ll come get you when a table is ready”. About 30 minutes went by and we continued to sit. Several new groups came in and were seated while we sat and waited. After about 45 minutes of waiting, we were told it would be another 30 minutes. When we finally got sat (one hour and ten minutes of waiting)..we were told that they couldn’t find our phone number to give us a call. Which is weird because they told us we didn’t need to provide them with a phone number…and we were literally sitting right in front of them the entire time.

After we finally got sat, our server was extremely nice and apologetic about how long we had to wait. Unfortunately, that trend continued. We waited another 25 minutes just to get drinks. They weren’t anything fancy, just pours of bourbon and two simple mixed drinks. My sister-in-law thought her drink tasted really weird, but everybody else enjoyed theirs.

The food tasted good! Although my burger was not medium like I requested. It seemed like everyone else enjoyed the food. Our party was really bummed by the amount of time it took to get sat, and get our drinks. We almost considered leaving and going to another restaurant.

In conclusion, I probably wouldn’t plan any special occasions here again. If it was just a random dinner with two of us, I wouldn’t mind trying it again.
