Bad Service and Even Worse Hostess

by PromotionsAHJ at Citysearch

I went there to hang out with my friend last night. I have been there one other time before and didn't really like but my buddy really likes it so I decided to give it another try. The server Stephanie was the most obnoxious server in the world. She kept bothering me and my friend and ruined my whole evening. When I wanted to pay for our meal she got angry that we were leaving and didn't want to give me my bill, after finally getting the check and paying I got the hell out of there. We also order food that had way to much sauce on it and I couldn't even finish it.

• Pros: Good Wine
• Cons: Bad Decor Bad Service and Bad Food

Poor Service, and over charged my credit card

by Seattle24 at Citysearch

The service at this place is just awful, they weren't even that busy and they couldn't keep up. When I was sitting at the bar, and someone walked by behind me, it felt like I was going to fall through the floor (you could feel the floor boards bending under the weight). They spruced the place up with paint, funky chairs and lighting, but they didn't impress me at all. My glass of wine was 4 oz. at the most, the appetizers were over priced and WORST of all, they overcharged my credit card. I worked in restaurants for years, and I know when someone does not deserve a tip, the service was poor and so was the quality. I purposefully wrote zero on the tip line (knowing how that feels myself) and apparently, they felt they deserved a tip, so they added one in! That is basically like jumping in my pockets and running off with my money, when you have to earn it as a bartender/waitress.

***I do not and never would recommend this place.***

Go to Purple if you want good food, service and great wine.

• Pros: Looks good from the outside!
• Cons: Over charged my card, poor service, over priced, building is falling apart

Really bad. Avoid.

I joined three friends this past Saturday night for a glass of wine here. The service was really bad and will never go back. (cheesy music in the background doesn't help either). My friends all feel the same. I didn't get my drink for a really long time and the place was only serving about four groups and they had two servers! We then had to wait for our bill even after making signals we were ready to leave! Very bad experience.

• Pros: ballard
• Cons: service, music, slow, overpriced ($5 beers even)
