Very upset as I write this because Notions used to be one of our favorite places to go. But since they've reopened in March, this place has gone down the drain. Firstly, the service was terrible. We asked if there was any specials and our waitress told us no. But as we walked out, there was a sign of specials. Our drinks took 20 minutes and our food took 30 minutes to come out. This was a busy night, but there's no reason a sweet tea should take 20 minutes to get. Our waitress also knew nothing about the menu. Every time we asked a question, she had to run to the back to get it answered. She asked us if we wanted dessert before we had gotten our food...She didn't even realize that we have been waiting on our food for over 30 minutes at that point. My boyfriend asked if he could get a whiskey flight, because it is displayed on the bar. But our waitress said they weren't doing flights anymore...then why are you advertising it on the bar?? So instead, he ordered a rye whiskey on the rocks. What he received was a 12 year whiskey that was $27, not what he ordered. When we told our waitress this, she scoffed and shot back that the only other option was a $50 drink, as if that's supposed to make us feel better that he was given the wrong drink and had to pay way more than excepted.
Secondly, the food has really gone down hill. We used to love their charcuterie board, so we ordered it. We were extremely disappointed when a board half the size and half as nice as the previous one came out 30 minutes later. They used to have olives, 4 amazing cheeses, a warm pretzel, 2 dips, nuts, and several great meats. But this time, I could have made a better one at home for half the price. The entrees were okay, but still not the same Notions that we were familiar with. The old fashioned cocktail I ordered was terrible. It tasted like perfume. You can definitely tell that their old bartender and head chef have left; this notions is not the one we knew and loved. Sadly, I will not continue to recommend Notions to friends and family. And I will not be spending money here again. read more
