This is my follow up review from a year ago.

Satuit Tavern used to be excellent and my go to while in town but has outgrown their reason for being a food service provider...

We have eaten here many times before and during Covid and the restaurant has slid downhill for sure...this was from last night...

In these times we all are trying to frequent and support local restaurants.

Tonight was the final blow that pushed me to edit/rewrite my review of the Satuit Tavern... both hostesses were so rude and unaccommodating that we will never go back and we visit Scituate quite frequently over the past 25+ years.

We agreed to wait 25 minutes for a table, now mind you the food/service is not what it was a year ago (and fully understanding the new environment we all live/work/play in) is at best mediocre.

The appreciative atmosphere is GONE! Even with several other poorly remembered visits in the past year we were hoping for a turnaround of how it used to be we STILL agreed to wait for a table.

The hostess asked for a name, then a phone number and said we will call you when your table is ready.

When we went outside and a large group of people had congregated within 15 feet of the door waiting for their tables. Not appropriate and unacceptable. Does the restaurant management just forget about what happens outside of the front door? No Covid plan? Or even direction?

We went across the street away from the crowd to wait for the call.

After about a half hour we went back to see how much longer it was going to be and we were met with a very upset younger dark haired hostess... She truly seemed exasperated that we were told we would be called when our table was ready.

As we watched, she went inside and appeared to get into an argument with the other hostess who actually took our name and number. Obviously they didn't call us and passed us over on the the waiting list.

Then the older gray haired hostess, the one who took our name and number and said she would call us when our table was ready proceeded to come out and argue with us about what she had said, denying she told us we would be called...really??? What causes this lack of professionalism???

She was unapologetic, argumentative and rude.

She then suggested that we would have wait our turn... again...maybe another 20 minutes...we did not wait and left.

All of this could have been corrected with a simple apology and owning up to the mistake, but because they do not appreciate customers...who pay their wages... they would rather appear to be above it all and let this poor treatment happen...pretty sure this was NOT an isolated occurrence!!!

It is unfortunate that this restaurant fails to appreciate its patrons during these difficult economic times.

Well, from now on my contribution to Scituates local restaurant economy will go to the hard working, respectful & deserving establishments.
