"We went to the Sainte George for our anniversary dinner Saturday 1/6/24. It was nice and the food was INCREDIBLE. Dinner with 4 drinks, an app, two entrees and two salads was like $280 total including the 20% tip. Not bad at all! BUT our server at our table was the bartender also and while he was ... polite.... he couldn 't have been more bothered to be taking care of us. He didn 't tell us his name, he didn 't tell us the specials, he didn 't check on our drinks, he didn 't bring us our meals (it was the kitchen 's food runner I believe)... He got the orders right.... but outside of that there was zero interaction with us...We were even his customers at the bar prior to getting our table. When he was at our table, he didn 't even say Hi, have you had a second to review the menu? He didn 't say anything...like awkwardly silent... and we couldn 't understand him hardly when he did speak. It wasn 't a speech thing because I over-heard him talking to his co-workers just fine. I am not a complainer... like ever. I have worked in the service industry for years and have the most respect for the kitchen staff, servers, all of it.... Not to mention, we had a reservation for 7:00, and my sister, knowing it was our anniversary, called ahead Saturday afternoon and asked the manager to allow her to buy us two drinks on her credit card ahead of time as a little gift to us on our anniversary, and that wasn 't brought up at all during our dinner. Of course, I didn 't know about it then, but that same night once my sister asked if a round of drinks had been paid for..No??? So, we went back and the manager honored it and said she spoke to my sister personally and she just forgot about it. The servers around us were so kind and bright and at least somewhat engaged with their tables. Ours FELT like.... can I help you? why are you here? We felt uncomfortable and it was really weird and awkward the whole time. Again, clean, great GREAT food... beautiful setting, but won 't go back"
