Went out to a special dinner here, celebrating athe one time of the year I can have dinner with my father and stepmother.

As we entered, host staff somehow seemed irritable rather than welcoming. Then, as we were sat we were told "you have to scan the QR code for the menu". I was already turned off from the walk to our table, before even sitting down. Here we are in a quaint little town to feel "off the grid" and were instantly REQUIRED to use our own internet devices at the dinner table in order to see the menu. The free unsecured wifi was spotty at best. It seems anti-hospitable and full of irony to require guests to being an internet device for a rustic-themed restaurant on the Kanc. (We did ask for a paper version, and the repu was they maybe had something but it was outdated and they sometimes have their own tablets to use, blah blah blah. I was thoroughly unimpressed)

I was wholeheartedly disgusted by the inaccesible menu. It felt like I was at the self-checkout at a walmart.

The server greeted us and seemed way more interested in turning the table than actually serving us, her current patrons. The server seemed annoyed with our questions about the menu and even more annoyed that I had stepped away to the restroom when she had wanted to take our order.

After the lackluster food arrived, we were luckily checked in on one time so I was able to switch out an empty condiment container for a full one.

The next time the server came back, their arms reached out across the table to gather plates while I was still eating. I was then offered a box. I accepted one for part of my meal, stating that I did not like the side that came with my meal so I didn't want to take it home.

This was a missed opportunity: not only did the server not notice or not care that I hadn't eaten my side, I was also not even offered a simple "I'm sorry " about the food I didn't like, nevermind an offer to make the customer happy with a discount, free drink or dessert. Nothing. Because noone gave a f***

The server was also very quick to pick up the dropped check. We had just enough time to gather the payment and the server was there immediately to grab it.

We are good customers. We complain very little. We assume it's the server/cook's worst day on the job. We never overstay our welcome; always leave a good tip.

We were in the buildung about an hour in total, which seemed way too long for our server although most tables around us were there before and after us.

I've been in the restaurant business for over thirty years. I know everyone has a bad day every once in a while. I also know when the entire staff seems over it. they all seemed over it.

I'm over it too. Probably not coming back here
