Loved 2 Ames for years, great spot in Chautauqua Institution for lunch, dinner and late night…read morecocktails. Staff is amazing and the restaurant is super cute and unique.

I've previously given 2 Ames a 5-star review and was genuinely excited to return, which makes this…read moreexperience especially disappointing. Unfortunately, this visit was so poor that I'm not sure we'll be back. We ordered the burger and chicken sandwich. The $30 burger was completely raw inside and had an off, almost rancid taste that made it inedible. The chicken sandwich was the opposite, overcooked and burned. Both were listed as coming with house-made fries but instead arrived with basic bagged potato chips. Our server never mentioned the substitution when we ordered or when the food was delivered. We left the majority of both sandwiches on our plates, yet our server never once checked in to ask whether something was wrong. When we did interact with her, she came across as rude and generally unhelpful. We also ordered the brussels sprout Caesar salad, which was extremely disappointing and bore very little resemblance to a Caesar salad. The portions overall were small, and the quality simply did not come close to matching the prices. Our bill for two cocktails, one salad, a chicken sandwich and a burger was $116. I have no problem paying that for a great meal, but given the quality of what we were served, it felt like an incredibly poor value. The cocktails were really the only part of the meal we somewhat enjoyed. To top it off, we were celebrating a birthday and had noted it on our Resy reservation, but there was no acknowledgment whatsoever. I'm especially disappointed because our previous experiences here were excellent. Restaurants can have an off night, but between the nearly inedible food, unexplained substitutions, lack of service and price point, this was far beyond a minor miss. Sadly, after this experience, it's unlikely we'll return.
