I skeptically went to this restaurant, expecting a nightmarish scene based on reviews here. Having spent plenty of years in foodservice myself, and experiencing the gamut of employers and dysfunction, I expected a bad experience.\r
\r
Upon arrival, the place was quiet, yes, it is beautiful. One table of two, and people quietly at the bar. Good so far. Waiter was a half sober college student male, who could have cared less about taking our order. I think he wrote, ""pork"" and ""chicken"" on his order book. He served and came back once, both times looking as though he wanted to be somewhere else.\r

The meal came appropriately, looked good, even tasted good. Nothing could prepare me for what came next. Having eaten less than half my dish, I asked for a box. No scene from employees, and no sign of employer. By this time, the back table was now seated with what other reviewers have described as the kitchen staff. Not a problem. \r

I was handed my take-out box, and when I turned my plate upside down to dump it into the container, I was shocked to see a, shall we say ""short-n-curly."" 1.5 inches long, thick, wavy, NOT head hair. The waiter came back, and I showed him the offending hair, picked it out and asked him to please bring this to the attention of the owner, and told him I certainly hoped the offending item he had in his hand would be reflected in my check.\r

Waiter approached the people sitting at the bar (owners). Nothing. Waiter brings back our check and some mints. Nothing. WHAT?? You treat your employees so badly they passive-aggressively do that (we know it happens) and you DO NOT SO MUCH AS BAT AN EYELASH???!!! No profuse apology, and get this, he took HALF off my dinner price!! The owner never so much as acknowledged to me that it happened, while I watched the waiter show him the hair.\r

OUT-FREAKING-RAGEOUS! Decide for yourself. Great atmosphere, but . . . . .
