"we had been in a because not in columbias restaurant, had taken with curbside pickup by pandemic. we were on the 12th fairytale. they don't have enough staff, so we sat for 45 minutes for a table while the restaurant was half empty. the staff in the lobby must see the 3 people they had, as hostess had the rude manage. very cold, blunt, yes most time vs. ja ma’am or sir have not even heard, good afternoon, or how are they? they were in prison. woman who took out orders on computer screen was just as bad. three people who do not speak English and have not understood came in. they went past hostess to return as if they met someone. the older hostess followed them. they literally chased her back to the lobby and announced the whole lobby they had just found one table and sat down. instead of helping and explaining to them before the hostess, she stood over the lobby and cried to stand there to wait for a table that she was so obviously upset. just before we sat, a picturesque hostess entered for his shift and he seemed much better to be with manage. our waiter told us he was new, so I would be in order. but he left our salat without telling and never came back. I had to get up to find someone and ask for tellers. five more minutes before our waiter came, fell down 3 teller and took off again. no bread sticks, no cheese on the salad. the food came finally, and that was good. she must have done the lessons from the hostess stand. when her table asked her questons, she would answer that nothing was curious about her. cannot ask for a check in this restaurant because they have the machines they want to do themselves. the personal needs a lot of work. we will not be back long with any business until this restaurant gets its stock together. I can only assume management is terrible."

"We’ve come to eat late after work a few times over the past few months. Arrived around 9:45p and they close at 11pm on Friday’s. Each time we’ve experienced poor customer service and the food has been cold, lukewarm, or not fully cooked.Last night we waited over 10 minutes just to be greeted by a waiter and get a drink order taken and the restaurant wasn’t that busy.. during that time staff was fooling around and laughing in the kitchen behind us, I guess they did not notice we were waiting..Food was lukewarm and it took longer than necessary to wait for just salad and breadsticks (that’s all we ordered). We look forward to having a hot bowl of soup on a cold night after a long day and it was not even hot. The spinach was still fresh and not cooked into the soup, just kind of thrown in. I don’t even remember finding chicken in the chicken and gnocchi soup. The waiter explained that they had to make the soup themselves that late at night but there’s still an hour until close. Seems the staff tried to close up shop early (when the restaurant still had many people in it) and they don’t deliver the same customer service experience during the last hour they are open as they do during the entire day.Waiter seemed to try to rush us by clearing the table while one of our family members was still finishing her meal..A previous visit we had a moody waitress who did not even smile and seemed unamused to be there and it made us feel like a bother.Please just close your restaurant at 10 or earlier if you’re going to to do this to customers who come in during the later hours."
