Read moreMy partner and I visited this restaurant recently and had the most HUMILIATING experience ever.
When we arrived, things were good. Our host was nice and even let us choose our table to sit at. Our server, Javier, comes by for drinks quickly enough and then asks if we were ready. We still needed a few minutes to look over the menu as we'd never been before and said as much and that's when all the issues arose.
We waited for almost 10 minutes after saying we needed a minute to get a decision for our server, Javier, to even come back and take our order. Which fine, we said we needed time but normally no server wastes that much time before coming back.
Our orders come out and a busser brings them to us. We start eating and uncharacteristically for restaurants, our server, Javier, doesn't stop by to see how the food was or if we needed anything else.
When we finished, we waited for almost 45 minutes without our server, Javier, or busser coming over to check on us or remove plates. We watched as our server, Javier, visited the table directly behind us three times in the time we're waiting for him to come by and give us a check. We watched him stand in the doorway to the inside talking to his co-workers, the busser, or staring at tables but never once looking at us. The busser came over to tables near us and refilled drinks, grabbed plates, but ignored us. Remember, we haven't even been spoken to since our orders were taken.
We watched as Javier visited all his other tables and didn't spare a glance at us. Tables around us were being sat and leaving before us as we waited. We watched as he brought out the check to the table behind us and went back inside to chat with his buddy at the bar.
The only time he acknowledged us was when my partner got up to go to the host stand after 45 minutes of us sitting there waiting to be acknowledged to ask if they would be able to get our server, Javier, for us because he hadn't come by in almost an hour. They politely said he'll be by shortly. The entire time my partner was up there, Javier was staring at me who was still at the table and my partner at the host standing and talking to the busser.
As soon as my partner returned to the table Javier appeared and asked if everything was okay and we asked for the check immediately. He came back within the minute and we were all checked out within 3 total. That was the most service and attention we received from him the entire time we were there.
I felt so humilated to be so ignored and treated like garbage that I became upset immediately after leaving. I would not recommend this place to anyone because of Javier. The host were the only lovely people to us but Javier and their busser treated us like we weren't human and like we were less important than any of the other people there.
So if you do decide to go to this establishment, make sure your server isn't Javier because you may also have a terrible and...
