"We went to this restaurant with my wife’s boss and husband as we were there for business. My wife greeted the waiter and told him it was our first time there and it was recommended. He was cordial at first. When my wife’s boss told him that we would need some separate checks (part for business and part for spouses) the waiter immediately changed. He said “we’ll deal with that later) and pushed for drinks and appetizer orders. When we were not sure yet, he just walked off and ignored our table for a long time. We finally ordered drinks and an appetizer but his demeanor was so rude. He seemed upset that we didn’t order alcoholic beverages. When he came for food orders, again, he seemed to get mad because we wanted to share (between my wife and I) a larger plate and sides. He pushed for me to order my own plate almost implying I couldn’t handle my own plate and my wife had to order for me. His comments were very rude. Had we not been with others, we would have walked out. Food was brought by another server and he also replenished drinks. We didn’t see our waiter until the check came and he just dropped off one bill for our entire table. When my wife’s boss reminded him about the separate checks, he said “just figure out what each one owes and get me cards!” What kind of service is that? He was told up front we needed to separate and he still just did not care. My wife’s boss was forced to figure out how to process a check with multiple plates that would not be covered by their employer. When he returned the check and credit cards, he just walked by and dropped them on the table and walked off. He clearly had all his attention on other patrons and ignore us throughout. We didn’t tip but unfortunately my wife’s boss did. Our tip to this management is get rid of him. We won’t go back. I shared our experience with the local shopkeeper who had recommended this place. She said that she knew who we had as our waiter and she avoided him too. She apologized for our experience and that waiter should have been the one apologizing. He should not be working with people.
