"Overall, I was always impressed by Paper Doll. We have always enjoyed the entire atmosphere of the place and drinks they have to offer. About a month ago some friends and I booked places for the dollhouse at Paper Doll. We had been looking forward to it for months and I even had people from the city. When we arrived, the host told us that the dollhouse was not open at the moment. This was surprising because we had received notifications about our reservations for some time. He told us that they were low on the staff, what we understood completley, and that they would not be able to eat us back there. I told him that I totally understand that they were short employees, and we wouldn't complain yet expect ordinary service, but really wanted in Dollhouse because of 1) our big group size, and 2) the fact that we celebrated birthdays. He was very friendly, but not knocking, but was very helpful to make sure we sit in regular seats on Paper Doll. It ended all right, and we did all push and fit on the stands, but it was still not what we had expected. The next time it would be great to know before the time whether the place we book is not open because we would have gone 100% to another bar if we knew it in advance. The host was helpful and tried, but it was still frustrating that we came about 20 guests and no idea that the room should be closed. They also suggested that we have booked it on a separate website, but on OpenTable it was not clear that you had to do this with large groups. Beverages were great and the staff was friendly and helpful, just write this review to help anyone who can do the same in the future."

"after we waited 15 minutes (because we were 10 minutes early) to sit as soon as we were sitting, we waited some time until our server came by. she looked overwhelmed and seemed too worried about her other tables instead of asking us if we want to drink something, water. actually lasted 15-20 minutes to get water because we made the mistake to ask if they were still a child's article that was no longer on the menu. (sometimes they can make objects when they have the ingredients) after 10 minutes this was not the case. the other guest of my party could therefore settle for the beef-tenderoin from the adult menu, which was supposed to be a favorit that other guests ordered after our server. Apart from that it was extremely small (for $34) it was extremely dry and tasteless. the server recommended to put the sose on the side if it was spicy (what it was not) and it was obviously necessary to put any kind of moisture in this piece meat. I had to help her cut it and had to be soaked with the sauce, but it was still moderate. our server offered to have made another piece that we rejected because we wanted to wait until the end of the time. I talked to the manager about this whole situation. it was very new to this facility and totally inexperienced with what it previously offered. unless our server had a bad night, she needed to find another line of work - she had to start such a job. each question seemed to be like a hassle for them and even leave extra water. this is the first time that I can remember that I leave a 10% tip, as it makes our entire meal a total disappointment. this was one of our favorite restaurants on the property, no more, so much so that we don't return-magie is gone. what should have been offered .maybe a discount because any other chain restaurant would have done that!"
