Our server lied and swindled almost $2000 from us when we hosted my sister's wedding reception dinner there on April 8th. I've sent the general manager 3 emails, I've sent 2 facebook messages (one responded to with a thumbs up), called the restaurant multiple times and sent the assistant manager messages, and we've yet to hear anything back. Our server that night was Angel R. Drian (the assistant manager that was handling the whole event) was told and reiterated that he knew the max amount that was allowed to be spent was $2000. The contract states that with everything, including the tip, the total will be $1826.50. My husband went to pay at the end and asked what is the amount owed because he didn't know the exact price. And because they were right in front of the register, the server didn't give him a bill (i know we should've asked but we didnt expect to get taken advantage of) and explained to him that it went over the budget but they added some discounts to bring it down to $2000 even, tip NOT included. So my husband paid him $2450 because he had done a great job as a server. He then ran it through the system as the EXACT amount that was due (which was NOT $2000. It was $1835.90 which INCLUDED a $309.69 dollar tip) and he didnt offer a receipt. If he had given us either a bill or a receipt, we would've seen that he had lied about the total and the tip. The bride went to the restaurant early the next week to get reprints of the receipts and ask about all the discrepancies. One of which being that we were charged more per item than agreed to in the contract. The bride also said specifically to Drian and the server to not bill us for anything the guests order that is not approved already. On our bill, we have several extra unapproved charges. That night, the groom ordered 40 tequila shots for the toast. He gave the server his card and told him to keep it under $500. At the end of the night, he got a bill for $1871.63 which included a 20% tip that was not explained beforehand either. I told the server to refund the groom and charge me because I knew they couldn't afford that. But i did NOT know the groom gave him a $500 limit and i was honestly quite shocked that he would even consider paying that much...which turns out to be the case...He definitely didn't approve that amount nor was he informed about the mandatory tip. When the bride came to the restaurant to talk to Drian, the server from Saturday night came over and told her that her and her husband were liars and they were lying about giving a $500 limit. They said the groom said there was no limit?!? No one that was there that night EVER would have said no limit. Even if it was some sort of miscommunication, we did not approve 40 top shelf tequila shots totaling the same price as the entire event. So the server, Angel R., didn't listen about the additional charges from guests ordering outside of the menu, didnt follow the contract and rules that were given by the bride about the budget, misunderstood or ignored the groom's $500 limit and charged us for 40 top shelf tequila shots for $35-36 each WITHOUT approval, ran through the transaction for the party as if we had paid him EXACTLY $1835.90 in cash with no change (which is tax fraud), called the bride and her husband liars in front of Drian and he said nothing to stop it. But the worst part of all of it was that Angel lied about the total due (we paid $164.10 more than the actual bill), knowing we were paying cash, and lied about the tip being included. Angel left with $900+ in cash plus the $285 that was charged on the bar bill. That's a total of $1208 that Angel made alone off of us by lying and stealing. I got a hold of Drian last week and he said the the general manager and the owner were going to have a meeting on Monday and he would call me as soon as he found out what the resolution is. I never got a call or a return call when i call the restaurant. I don't understand why no one is trying to resolve this. I am being patient but this is absolutely unacceptable at this point. read more
