"I honestly feel bad writing this review, because I've been to this place a few times and have always had a better-than-average to good time. But this time was a little rough. The punchline is; I waited nearly an hour for food that never came, and I had to leave.The context is; the head bartender (who was very nice was training a new person, so things were running pretty slow. No biggie, it wasn't busy so we didn't feel ignored or unwelcome or anything. We came there specifically for the vietnamese wings (which, to their credit, has garnered a fair amount of notoriety in the area but they didn't have them for supply chain reasons. Also no biggie, we ordered different wings and fish and chips. While we waited, we had a drink (a bourbon and a cola . 30 minutes came and went, others that ordered before us were eating, and the bar was getting busier. I ordered another drink and decided to close out so we could eat and run. I mentioned we were in a hurry and we wanted to be able to eat quickly and leave. 40 minutes, 50 minutes, nothing. At 56 minutes we decided to cut our losses because we didn't have any additional time to give. Again, I hate to write this, because A. I could've told them we were in a hurry earlier, B. I've had a really good time at this barin the past, and C. even this time, everyone was really nice. But, at the end of the day I spent $65 on two drinks and zero food, and I now have to spend more money on food somewhere else, and that's pretty uncool."
