I've driven by for years and even drove through the valet once to see how long the wait would be (60-90 minutes). On my only visit, I found that things had really gone down at this restaurant. When I arrived at 7:00 p.m. on a Friday night, the parking lot was almost empty. There was an ugly road block to keep customers out of some disgusting gravel parking lot, but no valet to be found. This should have been my first clue. The hostesses were in outer space and never spoke to me. One took menus and just started walking away, while the other one pointed the way the first was walking (as if I was a mind reader). The server took 15 minutes to come to my table. He looked like a guy that holds signs up at stop lights begging for money. He looked like he crawled out of his cardboard box and had just came into work, smelled terrible (B.O.) and was unshaven. His greeting at the table was "" That sux, you're by yourself. "" I wasn't sure if he was flirting or making fun of the fact that I did not have a date on a Friday night. Either way, it made me feel uncomfortable. Later, while waiting for my drinks, I watched my waiter and a rather round, short manager laughing and talking in the corner service station for at least 15 minutes while I was dying of thirst. When I ordered my dinner, the kitchen was out of the first three selections that I made. I can understand not having tomatoes with the recent scare, but to not have a fish special, steak, and sweet potatoes was not what I expected for the high menu prices. I finally chose the Seafood Paella and waited 50 minutes for my dinner to be in front of me. The server delivering the plate left his thumb print on the edge of my bowl with some brown colored food/ trash. I pointed this out to my server who took his dirty apron and wiped the rim. I asked for a manager and although the plump manager was walking around laughing and rubbing on the female servers, he never made it to my table. I wasted $30.00 on a terrible meal & service.
Pros: None- Used to be a nice place- Staff and management has ran into the ground!
Cons: It was the worst dining experience of my life. I eat out 4 times a week and rate McD higher.
