text: Just got back from Vegas and my experience at Hennesseys Tavern was still on my mind I had eaten there years ago and had a pretty decent meal so why not return right I also asked friends who were visiting Vegas from NY to join me Good idea right Not so much n I arrived with my party of and informed the wait staff that another people would be arriving shortly I told the hostess that I wanted to sit on the patio so I needed two tables set up with flatware to ensure that people arriving would not help themselves to our tables They dismissively told me to just find two tables I waited and waited and WAITED and no one came out to set up I got up again went inside where servers were conglomerated happily chatting away There was ample staff considering that the place was nearly empty on a Monday night A few minutes later a female server with a brace on her hand put sets of silverware on the table I asked her to bring out the menus so that we could browse them while we waited for the others to arrive We WAITED AND WAITED no menus I asked a person in my party to go inside and ask for menus again My guest returned with the menus in hand and commented that the servers were just hanging out and chatting and could not understand why the menus had not been brought out I struggled with touching the menus which were so sticky and dirty that I opened them by touching a teenytiny corner I immediately thought that if the menus were this dirty I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like Could not those lingering servers wipe down the menus I have seen it done in restaurants all the timebut clearly not in this one nAfter our party of arrived we ordered our food and waited and waited and waited for our food to arrive Each time we asked the server about the food her answer was the sameIt will be right out Yeah right nHere are the highlights of our orders nTurkey burger Fries Bacon Burger fries Fries so salty that they could not be eaten I tasted the fries and could not believe that this could be the work of a chef I dreaded the possibility that these fries had been salted by a prior customer and that they were recycled fries Ugh Everyone who had a burger said it was just OK but definitely would not come back for one nFish Chips A little steep at but it included filets of cod Fries were not cooked well done as I explicitly requested I mentioned it to the waitress and was told that she would have new fries for me this promise was accompanied by a doeeyed apology This french fry saga would continue throughout the evening nOne of my guests asked for a beer before ordering dinner but she had almost finished her meal and still no beer Of course the waitress apologized once again Apologies seemed to be the theme of the evening nn minutes later my well done fries had not arrived When I told my server I still did not have my fries she seems surprised shocked by itYou did not get your fries So who else pray tell should have known if my fries had been brought out to my table So then she asks me if I want the re done fries to which I answered Yes Yes I want fries with my fish filets I do not get it I ordered fish CHIIPS CHIPS meaning french fries So she says OK I will be back in minutesnn minutes later my party is ready to pay their bill and she shows up with my tab and NO FRIES She opted for giving us a discount on our tab rather than giving me the fries which I had been waiting all evening long And then unbeknownst to me the evenings entertainment was about to begin Wow a bonus Free entertainment n Two drunks came flying out of the bar and land on the deck where we were seated Yelling pummeling more yelling more pummeling Wait wait do I see my server who weighs about pounds with a brace on her hand joining in on the pummeling How brave how stupid She yelled at one of the drunks accusing him that he had thrown a drink at her So let me see you overserve drinks to your patrons to make money and you are surprised by the results My guests were scrambling to get out before the drunks included them in their MMA bout I for one was practically cowering in a corner like a scared rabbit nSo nice going Hennesseys Tavern You managed to screw up what started as a perfectly good evening in Vegas The sad part is for the owner who will probably be out of business before you know it because the totally incompetent lackadaisical servers and a kitchen gone wrong
