Not a soul up on the rooftop and 3…read morewaitresses for the area. Our waitress was untrained, super busy visiting her friend the entire time and unable to handle any request.
Menu says wings come with a choice of two sauces (ranch, honey mustard, blue cheese, hot honey). We ordered the wings with ranch and blue cheese. The wings came with just ranch and so we asked the waitress. Hey we asked for the ranch and blue cheese. She said we don't carry blue cheese. We said, it says it on the menu. She said, I know it does, but we don't carry it. (hold that thought it gets funnier later ) My mom got a salad that came with balsamic dressing. She asked for olive oil and vinegar and waitress said the only dressing choice besides balsamic was ranch. I got the wedge salad with... guess what.... blue cheese dressing which actually came on it so they do in fact, have blue cheese dressing
So then one of the other waitresses from the behind the bar came over to check on us and I said we ordered the wings with blue cheese and ranch, but we only got ranch. And she said OK I'll get you some blue cheese. And I said also do you have olive oil and vinegar. She said yes I'll get you some olive oil and vinegar. Both things that we had asked our original waitress, who continues to be visiting with her friend and taking selfies with her friend and had said these items were unavailable available.
So the attentive waitress comes back, not with oil and vinegar, but with a dressing container, full of just olive oil , and not a dressing container with blue cheese dressing, but a dressing container full of just blue cheese crumbles. OK, we are going to deal with that. I mean, blue cheese crumbles are great, but they were a little hard to dip your wings into!!. So we asked that waitress for an extra ranch which she immediately brings and we put the blue cheese crumbles into one of the ranches and basically make our own blue cheese dressing. Problem solved. (except for the olive oil and vinegar situation which we just dropped at this point.)
Our original waitress never bussed our table for over an hour. We had long finished our cocktails, and they were obviously watered down and done, and we had moved onto a bottle of wine. (I had to go up to the bar and order a bottle of wine myself because again she was clearly at work for other reasons besides actually doing work). Long after we were halfway through the bottle of wine she swaggered over and asked if we needed anything which at that point the only thing we needed was a clean table, but we chose not to ask her for it at that time.
So this is the Farmville plague. We have places that have potentially good food, have a nice venue, in this case, a fantastic view, but management continues to hire Longwood students who have no experience in the food, industry, or even any personal experience of nicer dining themselves. And there's no manager watching what these kids are doing and guiding them. We see this over and over again in Farmville where the restaurant has potential, but they just won't train their waitresses.
Un-bussed table for the duration of our stay.
Incorrect information about what dressings they do and don't have.
Lackadaisical attitude about getting us anything outside of what she could punch into the computer straight off the menu.
And as seen in the pictures, getting paid by the hour to socialize with her buddy.
A real shame for such a beautiful rooftop bar that actually has good food
