FOOD POISONING!!!! BEWARE!!!
The last two times I have eaten here have been disappointing. The young waitress was snarky and short with us, which has never happened in the two years we have frequented this place. My friend asked for his toast to be a little more toasted when he placed his order, and when it arrived, it was burnt. He mentioned that the toast was burnt, and she told him to scrap off the burnt part and eat it. He said that he didn't want to eat burnt toast. She took the toast and brought it back a couple of minutes later. She had scraped it off herself and gave it back to him. He said this was the same toast that he didn't want the first time. She said yeah, and there was nothing wrong with it. He said well, for starters, there are now only three pieces instead of four, and before he could finish his sentence, she grabbed the plate and said I will just redo the toast and stormed away. She returned with another plate of toast, which was done correctly this time. I had asked for some extra butter because my toast didn't have hardly any butter on it. She brought the butter, placed it on the table, and rushed away without asking if everything else was okay.
A short time later, the same waitress was walking by with two plates of food for another table, and in her best efforts to move fast, she lost one of the eggs benedicts as it slid off the plate and onto the floor. It splattered all over my legs and made a mess on the floor. She ran to the back to tell the cooks and left the mess. My friend gave me his napkin to clean my legs and shoes off. She returned with a broom and dustpan to sweep the mess up and left the remainder of the mess on the floor for about five to ten minutes until someone else came to clean it up for her. If anyone had walked by, they would have slipped on the floor. It was that bad!
Yesterday my wife and I went in, and guess who our waitress was? Yup, the same young lady with the snarky attitude. When I ordered my food, I requested that she ask the cooks to please ensure that my toast was buttered entirely instead of just a tiny part of it like it usually is. She said that she would bring me some butter to butter it myself. I told her I liked the butter the cooks use and asked if they could butter the toast. She walked away and said I will see what I can do. Once again, I could sense the attitude. There was a young man that looked like he was in training, and he watched this unfold. She never returned to our table and left the new waiter to care for us. It is apparent that she is young and inexperienced. She lacks customer service skills, and at sixteen or so years old, she hasn't been taught how to work with a customer. It is disheartening that this place is beginning to go downhill. When we were given poor customer service at Nana's kitchen, we stopped going there.
After we got home, my wife didn't feel well and didn't eat anything for the rest of the day. Then she came down with what appeared to be symptoms of food poisoning later in the afternoon. Yeah, I am pretty upset now that my wife is in so much discomfort. I am pretty sure at this point my wife won't want to go back there now, and this sealed the deal with me ever wanting to come back.
Sadly, you can't trust a local small-time restaurant to keep your family safe. read more
