I understand restaurants have good and bad days but this experience was unacceptable.Bridesmaids is a 2011 American comedy film directed by Paul Feig, written by Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig, and produced by Judd Apatow, Barry Mendel, and Clayton Townsend. We come to the area often and definitely won’t be coming back. We were pretty much begging for service and it just wasn’t happening. Not one restaurant employee came and checked on our table. We asked one of the girls for a side of wing sauce and she proceeded to roll her eyes and ask somebody else to grab it for us. There was a group of front of house workers sitting at a table next to us on their phones the entire time we were there. We weren’t given any napkins or utensils and had to get up from the table and track down a server to grab us some. We waited about an hour for our food and when it came out it was cold and bland. We ended up standing at the bar for 20 minutes until we finally were able to put in an order for food and drinks. She gave us a very vague confusing answer. ![]() We sat at a table In the bar area and we asked a server if we order food from the bartender or if we will be assigned a server. I’m not one to trash a restaurant publicly because I worked in the industry for over 10 years but this was so bad I feel like I have to. The worst restaurant experience I’ve had in my entire life. ![]()
