text: We wanted to try Becketts Table since it opened and went with much excitement I read from the reviews that experiences were vastly mixed but hoped for the best We were definitely disappointed Let me say that I rarely would review a restaurant because I am not a restaurant critic and I think it is so extremely subjective But this was such a blaaaahhhh experience that I have to speak up nnThis was all service related honestly There were so many opportunities for our whole experience or at least our attitude about it to be turned around that it is almost comical nnThe restaurant is lovely It is clear that much attention went into the design Love the open kitchenthe restrooms were spotless and very nicely executed I would love to know how many fingers just HAVE to touch the broken glass light feature there We were offered to wait for inside but since it was a lovely evening and there was no wait for the patio we chose to be seated there for our party of at pm on a Wednesday night This was a great choice because the decibel level inside the restaurant was deafening nnA waiter came over about minutes after we were seated and asked for our drink order Then another waiter delivered them about minutes later We never ever saw the first or second waiter again And we waitedand we waitedand we waited minutes after we were seated still with one member of our party having no drink in front of him a very harried waiter came over to take our order It was clear that something had gone wrong somewherean on the fly firing Someone walking off the job Who knowsbut he definitely did get dumped an additional station it was clear That is not the issue Things happen but some acknowledgement that it was a very long wait should have been offered We gave our order including a drink for our friend Then about minutes later a basket of rolls was set on the table At this point it was close to and we were starvingstill no drink for our friend So the next time the waiter ran by frazzled we stopped him and asked again He had no idea what we were talking about but quickly came around and the drink did show up Food started arriving and here are our observations on the food itselfnnWe shared quite a few dishes because we wanted to try alot and we had some dietary restrictions We did not order ANYTHING special or different than it appeared on the menu nnRoaster PepperTomato Soup Excellent but not excitingyou can get it all over townnnGazpachoShrimp Ceviche ExcellentnnIceberg Wedge with Greeen Goddess Dressing I loved this but my two friends did not I thought the flavor of the dressing was amazing and it was served perfectly They felt it did not quite hit the mark nnRoasted Beets AMAZING We all loved this even though it was quite cold by the time it got to the tablennSalmon on Baguette I did not love but my friends thought it was one of the best they had tried It was a bit aspicy for my taste although once i unearthed the capers I was a happy girl nnVeggie Spaetzel My friend was SO excited about this dish but it came cold and completely tasteless We each put a serving on our plate and no one even finished that or went back for more nnWhen the waiter came to clear the table he asked if he should leave the spaetzel for us to enjoy and we remarked that we had not enjoyed it at all and he should take it away which left a perfect opportunity for him to apologize and asked more details Maybe even remove this item from the bill But he DID NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT WE SAID nnWe ordered dessert anyways since that was our biggest reason for going in the first place We ordered coffee which was delicious and the darling busserhelperwhatever they call it that took our coffee order came back and let us know that they were brewing a fresh pot of decaf for us and that it would be minutes and lo and behold minutes later we had coffee nnChocolate Covered Bacon Smores OKwe were super excited about this and welllet us face it Anything with this combination of ingredients cannot be bad but again it did not quite deliver The homemade toasted marshmallows were gritty and not gooey like we had hoped for nnFig Pie To die for Simply put Delicious and perfect in every way nnI never hold wait staff accountable in their tip for food that I do not like or do not think was well prepared but in almost every single instance on this visit any problems were either a direct result of their time management or lack of customer service We are not difficult people and have a glass half full approach to life The simplest gesture could have turned our whole experience around I did something i have not done in years which is to tip under and even that we probably should not have done but I had to on some level believe that perhaps the management had more involvement of this than was seen to our eyes
