Worst First Experience 8/22/2009

The Grove was not that far from my home and I remember it as a place that was always open. I had heard good things and went to try it with two of my friends. We go in and we sit down, we were told to sit anywhere. We sat for a while and our server came over with our menus and we ordered our drinks. When she came back with our drinks a few minutes later, my margarita was a bit strong, but it was tasty. My other friend had not arrived yet and so we decided on a pizza. Ten minutes go by and finally the server shows up and we order. They ran out of artichokes so we settled for just a half and half pizza without specialties. Our friend arrive and its been about more than 20 minutes. We are starving and the waitress hasn't checked on us in that time. She was busy off chatting with someone else, laughing away. Finally our pizza arrive about 30 minutes after we had ordered and it was decent. Not worth the wait but still good. We order more drinks and then sat and chatted. The waitress hasn't shown up with our bill. We waited for about 30 minutes and decided to go up and get the bill. We didn't see her and we stood there, waiting for someone to help us. No one even said someone would be with us. We stood in front of the bar, and no one helped us. We decided to leave without paying. We just about drove off when our waitress saunters out and says we have to pay. We told her we waited and we left her a penny tip. It was an awful experience. Even as we left no one said have a good night. Our waitress zipped passed us without another words after taking her receipt and talked with some supposed regulars. Needless to say, I will never go back there and I will never let anyone go there because no one should be treated less than a regular or a guest. Pros: Twisted Squirrel $3* (Mixed Alchohol Drink) Cons: Where's the waitress? more
