"I went there on a Thursday and Saturday. Thursday was great, the waitress Grace told of specials and did a great job. I went back on Saturday which was a completely different experience. The waiter, not sure of his name bc he never introduced himself, never really stood at the table, instead was always walking by in the same way a flight attendant would or a server at a busy diner. The main reason I went back was for the muscles. After ordering drinks etc I placed the order for the muscles but they were out, that should have been mentioned in the beginning. Then after eating other apps I placed an order for dinner. Now they were out of one of the three sides that I wanted. Later the owner came over (I believe he was going to every table to ask about how they feel about indoor dining). I told him that I was disappointed that they were out of muscles which was the entire reason I came back. He responded with a description of their air filtration system. Even though I ordered the the main dish after the appetizer arrived, the main dish arrived before they cleared the appetizer dishes, not bc the food came out too fast but bc they never cleared the plates. They also never cleared the dinner plates. Not that I was looking for anything for free but they should have done something since they were out of the food I ordered. In Sum: Terrible service: not sure if the server is really a server (no special explanation, no mention of sold out food, not attentive, no clearing of plates). Owner: should have been more appreciative in words or in something comped that I returned two days later for something they don’t have and was the sole reason I returned. I was so excited about finding a new local restaurant but now I won’t return"
