"Father 's Day celebration for our good old Dad. The place was super busy. We expected that. But knowing you 're going to be busy is no reason to be slammed. You plan ahead. Our first round of drinks took 20 minutes, 'be right back to take your food orders ', our server whizzed by our table for the next 20 minutes before stopping by to say, 'How was everything? ' WHAAAT! We ordered shared appies and mains. Over 20 minutes and no appies. 1/2 hour and a group of servers show up with our entire order. Apies and mains. When I questioned 'the food all at once, ' one guy shrugged and they all walked away. Not wanting our mains to get cold, we dived in. Unfortunately our appies were wilted and cold, not worth eating. By this time we still haven 't seen our waitress. Finally one of the hostesses walks by, notices our plates and takes away one. WEIRD. Comes back a few minutes later, chats up the couple sitting next to us. Turns to look at us, smiles, 'How was everything? ' Not waiting for an answer, she turns back to her new friends. I pipe up. 'We would like to order some dessert. ' She turns and says, I 'll get that right away. Walks away without taling our order??? A few minutes later a served walks by, with a to go bag, asking if anyone had a take away order. He leaves it with the couple next to us. They look in it, shrug, put it on an empty table. Then a few minutes later ask us if we ordered the dessert in the bag. Noooo! Wife looks in bag, looks like leftovers! The couple are laughing, got a kick out of this! Our waitress comes by, we finally order dessert, by this time, to go. Just want to leave. It arrives in a bag, along with bill and p.o.s Slick, not a 'How was your experience? ', just here 's you bill, what 's your hurry! Moxies-you ruined our celebration . There 's no walking back from this. Thinking of a way to apologize to our Dad for such a tiresome and disappointed evening."
