"Pt. 1 By far one of the worst dining experiences I 've had in a long time. This was my second time visiting this establishment and like the first I was very disappointed. From the food to the dogs being paraded throughout the dining room this place needs a complete overhaul!!! From the moment we walked in I had a feeling we were about to be in for an interesting evening. The only thing we got timely and without incident were ironically the free items which were the waters and oxtail empenadas. We asked for the jalapeno queso (item on the printed menu) and were told that it was an old menu item and to get the nachos. So we took the suggestion and order the nachos which happened to be made table side. The gentleman came so close to the table preparing these nachos that my cousins hair almost caught fire (no lie). The nachos weren 't bad but they were nothing the brag about. We also orders calamari and aside from the flavor of the batter being tasty this was one of the worst appetizers I 've ever eaten in my life. The actual calamari was about the size and texture of my hair tie in my head (no exaggeration) and on top of that there was a random shrimp mixed in. No bug deal right?? EXCEPT this piece of shrimp couldn 't even be cut with a knife and fork. So like any patron would do, we flagged down a waitress (not ours) and asked to speak with a manager then it just so happens that our waitress whom we hadn 't seen for at least 20 minutes comes to the table to ask what 's wrong . We tell her the issue and she takes the plate of seriously overcooked calamari back to the kitchen only to return a few moments later with the same plate and says, we can 't take this back because you 've eaten most of it. No mind you, there are 5 of us dining and we we all took a piece and left the rubber band, hair tie textured pieces on a plate in the middle of the table. At that point we asked to speak with a manager cause she clearly wasn 't interested in understanding where we were coming from."

"pie 314 was a little disappointing for my wife and I. We visited the Fairview location for the first time for lunch on Saturday. we went to a friendly greeting from the bartender (so would have been the manager). that was a nice beginning. it is a very beautifully decorated bar/restaurant with some cool small niches. we wanted to sit down everywhere. we chose a stand at the window. at this time there was only one group of 8 on a table and about 4 people on the bar, so you could say that it was not at all busy. the server came quite fast and greeted us. it was very pleasant. we ordered the twisted dough (big pulp with dipping sauce) to begin. I ordered a pizza, my wife ordered the pot pie. my wife really liked the pot pie, and my pizza was very tasty and a really good crusty. that is unfortunately the end of the positive. from what ground, with an empty restaurant, our server completely dropped the ball. she felt she had to stand around with the workers and talk to them, and never was asked if we needed anything as soon as the food had dropped off. Finally, I had to wave my poor to get the attention of one of the people she talked to. he told her we needed her to give us a take-home box and get the ****. the server that ignored us was a negatiw, but the ultimate restaurant excursions for us were the fruit flies that flew around our table. Finally, we just stopped wiping them and asking and checking for the crates. lower line, the ambiente, friendly greeting, good eating was negated by the inattentiveness and the insect problem. I'll tell you if I'd try again here. there are some positive to pie 314."
