I'm not your ""Buddy"" 5/2/2009

Went to this location for the Paquiao/ Hatton fight. Food was good - hot wings for $12.95 seemed a little pricey. The place was 3/4 full and twice the waitress tried to serve me beer in a plastic glass. I expect more from an establishment that proclaims to bring ""fine dining to the big game"". Also, watch for ultra-fine print at bottom of the menu that calls for a service charge - even for one person during a special event. Brought it to the owners attention who didn't seem to agree that it is appropriate to inform guests of auto-grat policy, but instead guests should look at the fine print. I suppose he's right - as consumers we are responsible for examining the bill and menu for additional charges. I simply don't want to feel like I have to read a contract for hidden fees before I sign the bill. And when I brought it up to the waitress she thought I was out of line, stating that this policy was the ""norm"". When I asked her where she had eaten that had the same policy, however, she couldn't name one.Finally, the host at the front of the establishment kept calling me ""buddy"" - am I alone in thinking that this is rather inappropriate? In an economy where people tend to be particularly selective where they are going to spend their money, standards should be higher. Interstingly, I went to Smooth's instead of Legend's in Long Beach because the service at Legend's is terrible. Turns out it's the same owner. Who knew? Pros: Several TV's Cons: Service more
