I didn't actually get to eat here because of the hostess, but I felt compelled to review as her indifferent attitude definitely put a damper on my night. I showed up at 9pm, meeting some friends who were running late. I informed the hostess that there would be 4 of us and she tells me "20-25 minutes." Okay, no problem. I'll stand at the awkward entry way and wait as my friends show up. A couple who arrived at literally the same time as I did grabbed a couple of seats at the bar. My friends show up a couple of minutes later and we wait 25 minutes. During this time, the hostess is standing at the bar chatting with a waitress. She never once talks to us or makes eye contact, or anything of the sort. When 25 minutes have gone by, I try to get her attention about how much longer the wait will be and having failed, I resort to just going up to the bar and asking her. She looks around and replies, "at least another 5 minutes. " Well, thanks but that's really not helpful in the least. "At least another 5 minutes" could mean anywhere between 5 minutes to more than an hour to who knows how long! When I returned to my friends with this useless information, we decide to move on from this place and go elsewhere. I went back to the bar to let the hostess know that we decided to leave instead of waiting, she cheerfully replies, "okay!" I don't expect a super friendly hostess, but at least some display of empathy for the fact that we had waited half an hour already. I just wanted her to say something like, "Yeah, I understand. Sorry you waited all that time for nothing." That would've made all the difference in the world. Instead, she clearly didn't give two cents about us as patrons. It certainly put enough of a damper on my night that I am not sure that I will try this place again to actually taste the food.
