Normally, I am not one to complain about service, but my family did not have a good experience at this restaurant. First, there is barely any parking so you have to drive far and walk along the side of the road to park, but they don’t seat parties unless everyone is there. This is especially frustrating if you have older family members and they are dropped off. What is the big deal to allow people to be seated as they come? The restaurant isn’t even that big and there were like 3 hostesses at the stand anyway.

One of my family members (who is 25), ordered a drink but his ID was not scanning for some reason, and they confiscated the ID. Coming from working in the food service industry, many of us understand that that is their policy to hold it, but the manner and attitude in which our server told my family member about his ID was completely uncalled for. She acted like he was an annoying petulant kid. The bartender was okay and way nicer, and we requested for the police to come and run the ID, but the way in which our server handled this was extremely rude. Once the police ran the ID and everything was fine, like we knew it would be, she came back with an attitude, his drink, and his ID and didn’t say anything.

Overall, we had very poor service from our server. We had empty drinks for about a half hour before we had to flag her twice to get refills. One of my other family members got a burger and did not eat it because it tasted very wrong and off. They also made it wrong with the wrong toppings (when we pointed it out, she blamed my family member and said “well it’s really hard to hear you”). My family member said it had a funky taste and we were concerned the meat was bad. When we asked the server to please remake or take it off the bill, she said that is the way the burgers taste because it is wood-grilled. At the end of the dinner, she sarcastically asked if we wanted a box so we can take the burger “home to feed our dog.” Additionally 4 out of the 10 meals we got were cold when they came out. The steaks were tough despite ordering medium/medium rare.

We are reasonable people and understand people may have bad days, but this was supposed to be a night of celebration for my family, and it was a very disappointing night, especially...

I've been to old causeway on numerous occasions and the food never disappoints. Most of the time when I go I sit at the bar and never have an issue with the service. However, I got seated at a table at 8pm on a Tuesday after waiting about 45 minutes. I have never felt more rushed and uncomfortable by my waitress along with the food runners. While our appetizers were out they came around a couple times to ask if we were done and if they could clear our plates to which we said no. Our entrees came out while our apps were still out. They came around again, and started picking up our oyster plate while I literally had my oyster in my hand. While we were eating our entrees they came around a few times asking if they could clear our plates both the busboys and our own waitress and we were clearly still eating. I was picking on my french fries (which my amazing lobster roll came with so many) at the end of the meal to the point where when they came back a 4th time I let them take it, mid-eating my french fries. We ended up ordering dessert and another round of drinks at the end and you could tell their annoyance with that too. The waitress came and took the salt & pepper shakers and basically took everything off our table until we were ready to ask for the check. Our waitress didnt even take a minute to grab it, she already had her check in her back pocket ready to give it to us. We got the hint she wanted us to leave (it was 10pm). Just upsetting because I've never had such rushed service before for a restaurant that closes at midnight and our waitress was waiting other tables in her...
