Okay to start off I've been a customer here for over 4 years now. Over the years the restaurant has began to demolish from the the inside out. The last two times were the last straw for me. Both times the restaurant has been filthy. The tables not wiped, the seats dirty, the floors have stains on them that look as if they haven't been cleaned for weeks. Not only this, but the jars at the ends of the tables with sauces in them, are always the same jars! They don't even clean them, they just refill the sauce and call it good. The salt and pepper shakers have seen better days too. I work in the restaurant business and I know that the first thing someone notices when entering a restaurant is the cleanliness. The restaurant is foul in this category. To add to the list the inside window stool is always dirty and dusty.... Along with that the restrooms are filthy.
Now to get on with the waitresses. 2 times ago I went in by myself. Food was good, service was bad. I asked for a spoon to mix my tea and the waitress replied, ""for what""? Who asks you what you're going too use a spoon for in a restaurant? I thought okay, maybe she's having a bad day today. Well it gets worse. When I leave my bill is around $11. I thought she did a bad job serving so I wasn't going to leave a tip. She had the guts to say to me as I leave, ""No tip""? Just as others have said they're rude, and desperate for money. I serve for a living and I can say this restaurant, along with the Le Bistro Montage has some of the worst servers in the Portland Metro Area. be advised of these before going there. Yes the food is normally good and cheap, but I'll take my business elsewhere. I''ll never return neither, and they've lost the business of at least 20 close friends and family members.
