I have never left a restaurant review in my life. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a very long time. It started when we walked in the door, and were told "we are very busy and you need to go stand on the porch until the hostess comes out" - nice way to welcome guests. The hostess came out and appeared inebriated, but sat us inside by the bar. She then proceeded to tell us that they were very busy and that we needed to "have fun with us ok?" which was strange. It was myself, my 22-year-old daughter, my 10-year-old son, and my husband. We went there for my birthday and Father's Day.
After about 10 minutes, our server came to the table, which was fine because they were moderately busy. She told us that they were out of most of the beers that we wanted to try, so we went with cider. My son ordered a soda. About 10 minutes later, our server brought our drinks and did not bring my son's soda. We had to flag down the hostess after about 10 minutes and ask her to get his soda. We asked our server for food, suggestions, and she basically picked the most expensive things on the menu, which was fine because we are always willing to try something if a server says that it is good.
We sat there for about 45 minutes to a hour waiting for our food, while we watched the other tables that came in after us get served their meals. A table next to us had a husband, wife, and four small children who came in shortly after us and they were also still waiting. While we sat and waited, the apparently inebriated hostess was behind the bar and chatting very loudly with all the bar customers. This is a place that touts a "family friendly atmosphere", and we realize it is a bar, but the hostess had the most profane language I have heard in quite a while and nobody told her to tone it down, yelling very loudly while talking to the bar customers, and every other word out of her mouth was f*ck, motherf*cker, sh*t etc. In a room full of families with children. One other table next to us asked to be moved outside to the porch because of this.
When our food finally arrived, my daughter's, bison burger was literally cooked to a charcoal briquette. It was black and NOT edible. Our "oyster mushroom" Philly steak sandwiches were almost all peppers and onions with hardly a mushroom to be found, even though it was one of the most priciest items on the menu. We waved our server over to tell her about the burger and that we'd like to send it back and her demeanor immediately changed. We heard her chatting up the other tables, telling them Happy Father's Day and attending to them and we were basically ignored after that and had to flag her down to get our check.
My daughter is a server in a bar and could not believe this place. We read lots of reviews for restaurants in Drigigs and were so excited to try this place. Even changed our plans so we could go here. The food was terrible. The service was sub-par. The atmosphere is NOT family friendly. This was the most disappointing birthday dinner I've ever had. My son started crying because my birthday dinner was ruined. I'd give it a zero if I could. read more
