Sooooo, we went to this pizza place that was listed as "gourmet pizza" last night ( the excuse was to celebrate David's birthday a few days early). This place has mostly organic and gluten free items. We arrive and all seems great. Very retro place and not your "Dominos Pizza prices". Pretty crowded at first (restaurant seats 100) so we sat at one of 3 open high top table near the bar. We ask for a take out menu because we have a friend that is trying to eat gluten free. Ooops, out of take out menus. Waitress came right over, and gave us time to peruse the menu. We had different salads to start, and were allowed to have the ones we wanted as a smaller "with the entree" size. Very good! David ordered a thin crust pizza and I ordered lasagna. Ooops, out of lasagna. My second choice was spaghetti. Did I mention that the waitress was really chatty and friendly? First the pizza comes out which took a really long time. The pizza is burnt on the edges and several pieces were also burned on the bottom. Ooops! The waitress said the chef would make another one but David agreed that he was okay with it as he likes a crispy crust. Then my spaghetti comes out, looks good, (and tasted pretty good) and I ask for parmesan cheese. Ooops, out of parmesan. The waitress explains, "When I came in this morning I noticed there was no parmesan cheese and the chef said, yep we ran out last night." As this was our first time at this restaurant we asked the waitress how long they had been in business and she said since 2009, then became very quiet for the remainder of the time we were there.
Sooooo, here are the questions? Comment on whether or not you would return to this restaurant and recommend it to friend? Why do you think the waitress suddenly became quiet and less friendly? What expectations would you have from a restaurant that has been open since 2009? Tell us what you think!

I don't think I would go back to that restaurant. As there are so many restaurants to choose from, I would not take a second chance. As the waitress was "cool" after she said they had been open since 2009, I am wondering if this was a common occurrence.
ReplyDeleteNo, I wouldn't go back and no, I definitely wouldn't recommend it to friends. Especially if they weren't Domino's prices, which leads me to believe they were higher! Good review on your end Jayne...I liked all the Ooops because it let me know another blooper was coming up!!!
