"Had Mother’s Day reservations for 5pm. We were liking forward to trying it as it’s is new and we heard good things. Also talked to gentleman that I confirmed reservations with on Saturday and he seemed happy to have us. However we didn’t stay to eat. Two of our party of 9 arrived at 4:40pm, 4 of us arrived at 4:50. The first two that arrived were not greeted by anyone and were waiting (restaurant was 85% empty). When I walked in with 4 at 4:50 still no one acknowledged us at the front. At 5 I walked over to bartender and asked if someone would would seat us and told him two in our party were already there for 15 minutes and no one said a word to them... his comment “how was I suppose to know there were here”! Then he said he would get table ready for us...another 10-15 minutes went by and during that time a women walked past us and threw a high chair in a side coat-room! She did not seem happy a big Larry was about to be seated and also didn’t do much as say hello. Now our entire party has been waiting 15 minutes while the restaurant was nearly empty..... so since our 1st impression was ruined and we were hungry and frustrated, my daughter walked next door to 25 West Brewing Company (one of our favorites in the area). She texted us back and said they could seat us right away. Our party walked out as the bartender waived us over to sit, without ever coming to great us. So after looking forward to the experience we didn’t try the food, what we could see if the atmosphere the place looked nice but the hospitality was totally non existent! Sorry to say, we won’t be back. Kudo’s to 25 West as we had a great time and a great meal!"
