Hope that you had a good bar mitzvah, last night, Noah......And, I'm hopeful that the Bolger Center catering staff was ready for this important event and that they were more gracious than my wife and I experienced here, on Saturday.
Neighborhood residents as we are, we occasionally stop by to dine....the outside setting is beautiful and, times past, service and food quality was satisfactory. Indeed, the staff would repeatedly tell us that they valued the "neighborhood" business. As other folk have observed, the restaurant is undergoing the world's longest-tenured renovation.....now into the 4th month, having been originally billed as just a couple of weeks.
We stopped yesterday to see if they had completed their work, walking into the empty restaurant at noon time. Door was open, and we simply stepped inside to look.....immediately, a female employee descended upon us, ordering us to leave in that Noah's party was but a mere six hours, away. We asked as to the completion of their renovations and the same woman responded that more work remained, but that we had to leave --- private function, you know. All of this while she was busy closing the entrance door. Got it; gone for us. No engagement on her part, just rude 'tude.
So, lesson to the Bolger Center.....there's no "B" in the word, hospitality. And, for Noah, I hope that they improved your event signage before your function.....putting your name on copy paper taped to parking lot cones is pretty much bush league. read more
