Slip 56 - Bar & Restaurant — Restaurant in Kenosha

This was one of my favorite restaurants in Kenosha. My wife and I came here almost every week (take out or dine in) for her favorite comfort meal- the linguine alla diavola. Whenever any family or friends came into town we’d recommend Slip 56/take them there for lunch or dinner. Unfortunately, after last night I will not be going back and I’m going to make sure I let everyone I know about my horrible experience. I took my wife and her family out for dinner. Everything went great until the bill came. I paid and tipped- even though our waitress spent a total of 3 mins at our table collectively. Then she comes back puts the bill in front of the table and asks if there was something wrong with the service and why I tipped so low. Everyone heard except my wife who is autistic & had an air pod in because it was very loud. My wife just gave a big smile & a thumbs up and said she did a great job thinking she was asking how she did. When we left my wife gave the waitress a big smile and said bye to which the waitress rolled her eyes and put on a very rude expression. My wife couldn’t understand why the “nice waitress” looked at her that way. I told her the waitress wasn’t happy with how much I tipped. She started crying and made me turn around so she could go back apologize profusely to everyone around and tip an extra $20-30 because she loves this restaurant and doesn’t want anyone there to be mean to her. For the rest of the night she was anxious and sad about the situation. I’ve never experienced such disgusting & disappointing service/ behavior from a waitress & restaurant. We spend at least $100- $150 whenever we come in and to have a waitress be so rude is just mind blowing. If I wanted service like that I’d go to Dick’s last resort. I don’t know how the owners condone their waitstaff speaking to customers like that. However, I will say that this has never happened before. Every waiter/ waitress we’ve had in the past has been amazingly kind. Especially the waitress with the curly hair- my wife thinks she’s so nice. I wish I could remember the rude waitress’s name, the only thing that I remember was that she was wearing dangly earrings with crystals or stones & a necklace with a large heart...

Honestly, it’s hit or miss. One day I came in and loved the drinks and food but the service was really bad- one of the waitresses was sooo cold & bothered like she’d rather be anywhere else but there (and it’s work so I get it, but come on, don’t take it out on the customers- especially if you want a tip). Next week the food I liked was no longer on the menu (seafood pinsa) but the service was great. Came back a diff day for drinks and fried calamari just to be told they were out of some of the ingredients for the drink I wanted and the calamari that’s usually a large serving was merely a hand full of over cooked & chewy like calamari jerky. Next time the calamari was great again & the pasta was amazing plus the waitress (very pretty with brown curly hair) was so sweet and accommodating. Then came back again and the pasta and salad were on point, same waitress and great customer service. Fast forward to last week and the same pasta I’ve ordered multiple times came incredibly watered down/ soupy? No thick sauce, nothing that would stick to the pasta at all- almost like eating Italian ramen… so it was a big, bland, splattery mess. And this time we were unfortunate and got the same waitress as the first time. It was BAD, she was so rude at some points that I thought she was joking and she only came to the table a couple of times. Then at the end she asked for more of a tip. My tip is- ask your coworker (the waitress with the curly hair) for advice on how to be a better waitress. Will I try to give the restaurant another shot? Yes, but this time I’ll ask to sit in a different waitress’s section/ leave if that’s not possible. **I don’t know the waitress’s name but she had a pointy and a large heart necklace. I looked at the restaurants IG and she’s...

I’ve been here twice. The first time I went for lunch with my son, we were sat outside and were forgotten about for about 20 min until we said something. Waitress came took our drinks order and disappeared for another 20min. Took our food order that took over an hour to get served. Food was good. But service was terrible. How ever I gave them benefit of doubt and figured maybe it was just a bad day. Went again last night. AGAIN same thing happened. They sat us outside and never came back. We didn’t even have menus! Finally we asked for a server and this girl took our drinks order. Took her 25 min to bring me a mimosa. Then took over an hour to bring my food. When my food arrived she didn’t have silverware for us. She said sorry she’d be right back and was never came back. We had to ask another two servers to please bring silverware! That took another 15 min to finally have a fork to eat with. Then when I asked for the check I told her if I don’t have the check in 3 min. I’m leaving. I have somewhere to be and this is taking ridiculously long. Well surprise surprise!!! She came out with the check IMMEDIATELY! So this place sucks!!! If you can come and bring me the check that fast, then you could’ve certainly provided better service. I’m Never...
