I used to work at this dump, and honestly, if mediocre, overpriced food, a psychologically toxic atmosphere, and abusive and uncaring customer service are your bag, you've found your own personal purgatory for masochists. i have witnessed incredibly abusive treatment of fellow waitstaff as well as customers; woe to the poor soul who complains about one of their hastily thrown together faux-gourmet disasters, the wait time, or the seating, for you will be ignored. no refunds, no amenities. they simply don't care. i have seen many of my colleagues dissolve into tears after a particularly nasty diatribe delivered by the owner, who regularly insults his staff and customers (obscenities and inappropriate comments at no extra charge). i truly have never worked in a more psychologically unhealthy environment, and even with the employee discount the menu items weren't worth it--always a disappointment, sounded better than they tasted. the place is shoddily run with no efficiency or rationality, and believe me when i say that will be reflected in the quality of your experience. they have lost many customers and will continue to lose more because they don't put the customer first, they don't care, they treat you like you should kiss butt to be allwoed to eat at such a glorious establishment. the owner walks around yelling at everyone so often that they become so frazzled and upset they are incapable of doing their jobs, and no cooks ever stick around long enough to be able to learn how to prepare the dishes. so don't say i didn't warn you--pistachio is a fashionable disaster and it completely style over substance, with even the style being quite lacking. avoid like the plague!!!!!!!!!!!! take it from one who knows on all kinds of levels.
