Meh. I think this place is a little overrated. I looked this place up on Yelp and came here solo since my bf was playing poker. I don't mind eating by myself. This place is located in the Quad and you had to take an escalator there. I waited in this line right outside the door for a good 2 minutes before somebody told me that this was the line for the bar. The people in front of me and behind me thought they were waiting to put their name down too! The hostess stand is actually further and right in front of the restaurant, not at the doors entering the restaurant. Lame. So it was super fast putting my name down, but I told them once a seat opened up at the bar I'd probably sit there. He told me it'd be a 40 minute wait on a Saturday at10AM.I looked around and people seemed to be ordering the chicken and waffles but that seemed like too big of a meal for me. It took me around 30ish minutes for a seat to open up at the bar. Then like 4 freaking seats opened up after me and nobody sat down (ugh). I wanted waffles though so I ordered the combo which came with pancakes but you could upgrade to a waffle for a buck. I also ordered a bloody mary. So after I order they come out with chicken and waffles! They messed up on my one order so that super sucked. The bartender admitted it and asked if I wanted another bloody mary and it'd be on her since they messed up but I declined since I'd be too blasted walking back to my hotel. The bloody mary was really good but the food was just like.... not good. The waffle looked nice and big and fluffy but it was lukewarm and soggy. The eggs were eggs and the bacon was a little chewy. I think restaurants like this should at least have basics down! For the wait and the food I wouldn't come back here again.

My #1 pet peeve with this airport is that you must board a tram everytime. Why? SFO is bigger yet there's no tram. While waiting to fly home, the jacked up PA system near gate D1 was ear-piercingly loud and distorted. Are they oblivious to this? They even have to add the 3 loud ass toots after their deafening message just for added pleasure. Everyone was covering their ears from the shreiking. Are they that busy with checking to see if people are sneaking water bottles onboard that they don't know this? Also, why is it that a taxi ride to the hotel is $25 and only $15 to the airport? Isn't it essentially the same distance?

I didn't try the food, so this review is only for the one drink I ordered here while waiting for a couple of friends to finish eating and the bartender that served the drink. I wasn't in the mood for much alcohol but decided to order a cocktail anyways since the BF was pressuring me so I got a Chambord w/ 7-up (I know...I know....I usually order much more macho drinks, trust me!) I took a sip of the cocktail and realized that the 7-up was completely flat. I mean, no carbonation whatsoever that it actually tasted like Chambord w/ water (Ew!) I told the BF to have a taste to make sure I wasn't going crazy and he concurred, so I brought it to the bartender's attention. Instead of checking the 7-up and giving me a whole new drink, she simply poured some of the liquid out of my glass (I only had two sips) and topped it off with more BAD 7-UP!!! AND she had the audacity to say that it just didn't taste carbonated because the cocktail was not diluted enough with 7-up as if I don't possess taste buds to tell the difference between a carbonated and a non-carbonated mixer.....Come on! To be a good sport, I tried the "new" cocktail with the same result so instead of arguing with her about it I decided just to return the drink. I'm not about to pay almost $20 for Chambord w/ water... To tie this horrendous experience allll together, the bartender talked S!$&^ about me to another waitress(!!), which was obvious since that other waitress proceeded to glare at me immediately after speaking to the bartender. I would understand if I was being a total B----- (and I admit to having those moments periodically), but I was completely polite throughout this experience. Moral of the story: RUDE RUDE RUDE BARTENDER!

Perhaps the least competent service I have ever received. It took 30 minutes to get my first drink, this despite the fact that when I arrived waitresses outnumbered patrons. I ordered five drinks, each time the waitress would leave for 5 minutes before returning to notify me that beverage was sold out. On the sixth order she finally brought me the Magners I requested on order #3 when the managers pointed out to her they weren't actually sold out. The waitress claimed that they were changing all the drafts out to new beers which was why so many were out but couldn't tell us what new beers were available and I have never heard of a bar changing out so many beers at once rather than when a keg kicks (especially not a few hours before a game) I finished that drink and then waited 15 minutes for the waitress to notice me and then 30 more to get another order actually brought to me from the bar (I had to actually stand up and find the waitress who then signaled to another waitress to bring the drinks to our table). It was still 2.5 hours before the Pirate game and the place was less than 1/2 full. My guests and I waited for about 30 minutes from there before a girl set up a cooler on the sidewalk and we got the rest of our beverages from her. Finally we wanted to leave and tried to get our checks from the waitress, this required another visit to go track her down on the floor and say we wanted to leave, 15 minutes later she was still not to our table with a check but was just chatting by the Micros POS machine so I went and asked again, this time I was told she transferred our check to someone else (she didn't know who) and they had to get our check. At this point I was ready to just walk out but the other people I was with wouldn't let me and we waited until the 3rd inning before we finally got someone to bring us a check and then take payment. I won't be going back again. I won't be recommending it to friends.
