"Made reservations for 6 to celebrate my birthday. We sat at a round table in the bar area. It was Wine Wednesday so we ordered wine and a martini or 2 for some. Put in a couple of orders of appetizers. Our server seemed annoyed as I ordered 1 appetizer and she walked away. I had to flag her down as someone else at the table wanted to order an appetizer too. Would not have been that hard to check with everyone at the table before walking away. Then someone brings the appetizers and I tell them we are ready to order entrees. Had to flag down our server again. Put in 6 entree orders but 2 people ordered the mini chimi's from the appetizer menu. Our server clearly knew they were their entrees but again someone comes and drops the 2 plates of mini chimi's in the middle of the table and leaves. We get them to the ones that ordered them. They wait as most people would expecting the rest of the food to come out. We say go ahead and eat before they get cold. Finally flag down our server again and say that we really wanted to all eat together and she says well those are appetizers. Yes, sure but you knew that we ordered as our entrees and it's a birthday and we wanted to eat together. She clearly got upset and walked off came back a few minutes later and literally dropped my plate of food in front of me. Someone else carried the others and they left. We had empty wine glasses and no offer of if we wanted more. I flag down the hostess and tell her and ask for a manager. Tell her that clearly the server is upset with me because I wanted us to eat together (which should have been obvious) and we need a new server. They did not make things right and I will not go back. Never had a problem on Monday nights at the bar always had great service but for a birthday celebration at a table it was lousy. Then I had specifically asked if we were square with our wines as you buy one/get one and of course, looking at receipt later, that was not the case."
