Left Thomas's Diner today (Monday 4/29, 6:00pm - 7:15pm), with mixed feelings. First I will share the following. Thomas's Diner is a very special place to my family and I. My first date with my husband was here, over 18 years ago. My family and I have always enjoyed the food and excellent service. Today, on one end, my girls and I had a not so pleasant experience, on the other, a great one. After a nice mama daughter day, we decided to have breakfast for dinner at Thomas's. When we arrived, we were politely welcomed by the Food Runner, whom always has a smile. He proceeded to ask for our drinks and brought menus and water to the table. Here comes the not so pleasant end of our experience. The waitress whom I don not know her name since she never introduced herself to us, never came to our table to welcome us nor ask for our order. We were sitting there for a few minutes with menus already closed, but the waitress kept walking by us tending other tables. To my surprise, THE COOK came by and asked us for our order. He was very polite to me and my girls 😊. He then proceeded to give our order to the waitress. I will emphasize, at this point, she still has made no attempt to approach our table nor exchange any words with us. Our food came out very fast and that was THE ONLY TIME the waitress came to our table. She simply brought our food and mentioned my order (blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes), was very good. We thanked her and that was it, she never returned. The Food Runner came to our table a couple of times, to ask if everything was good. We are so very grateful for his warm hospitality. When he noticed we were done with our meals, he asked if we would like a to go container. Let's just say, we wrapped our food, sat there waiting for our check, and again, the waitress never came. She kept walking by us, chatting with other customers and tending to them. After waiting for a while I asked her for the bill and we continued to wait because she never gave me the bill. The cook made quick eye contact with me and shook his head. It was evident he felt uncomfortable with the treatment we were receiving and by now, even my girls also mentioned the service from the waitress was not very pleasant. At the end I had to go to the cash register and once again, ask for the check. No apologies for having us wait, she simply stated she had to make me a check since the cook was the one who took our order. That was the end of that after thanking her. I have never experienced such treatment anywhere and sadly, I will say, I wonder if it was due to the color of our skin. I say this because the service she gave to the other customers, was so very different, and it was as if we were not even there. Through it all, I kept a smile on my face, I wanted my girls to enjoy our mama daughter day and not dwel on the negative distraction. I felt very much discriminated and it disturbs me even more because my girls were there. With that said, such treatment is simply unacceptable and I will be reporting this incident to BBB, Better Business Bureau. I thank the Food Runner and the Cook for their thoughtfulness and for their professional and kind service, they definitely get 5 stars from us.
