"While a Sunday at 6pm should be a crowded experience, we found The Bean to be almost empty. A quick seat and fast initial service gave us a sense of matter to our visit, that was soon to disappear. Drink order was taken, no silverware provided. Drinks were delivered and our order taken, still no silverware, no napkins. Asked for a glass of water, water arrived after my Appetizer an afterthought on our servers part. Clam Chowder, excellent flavor, top notch offer however, served tepid was it's demise. After ASKING for silverware, my water arrived. Sill no napkins, again I had to request a basic staple of a dining table. Our Entrees arrived, and of course the order was wrong, I had to wait for the side I ordered to arrive. Never did our server stop by to ask how we were fairing. We were feeling as a red headed step child would feel at a family reunion. We didn't want to overstay our welcome, as we were not made comfortable during our visit we left sans dessert. This was not our first visit to The Bean however, it may be our last. Shameful as we did enjoy the food and atmosphere. It's 2023, post apocalypse, surely one could do better."
