Just went to Boston's for dinner. Will not be returning.
The person who sat us wasn't very friendly, but we got our drinks and ordered our food.
It took about 10 minutes to get our salads. No biggie. Mike got a bowl of soup instead of a cup, but at least it was too much soup, not too little. I got the wrong salad dressing, but it was on the side, so also not a big deal.
We wait w/o drinks for 10 minutes, then a different waiter got us refills, then we waited another 20 minutes w/o drinks.
After waiting an HOUR with no food and no one stopping by, we finally got the manager. Turns out the waiter was on his first night; he entered our order, but the printer didn't work in the kitchen (so they say), so they had only just realized our food wasn't coming.
The manager said our food would be out shortly and would be free.
30 minutes later, still no food, and no manager in sight. 5 more minutes and the food got there. Sheridan's pizza was burnt, my sister's pasta had been sitting for so long the sauce was all absorbed into the noodles and it was cold and dry.
We got the manager again. He approached us saying, "Wow, you must really hate me right now." Pretty much. Then he puts his hands in the air, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I got nothing."
So we had them make most of the food again, in to go boxes, we got the appetizer we had ordered but didn't receive with the other food, and ordered a dessert to go as well.
We estimate our free order cost the restaurant about $75.
I'm never happy when I go there, but it's one of Mike's favorite places, so occasionally I'll cave in and go. It won't be happening again.
So, for those of you living in SooFoo, if you're going to drink and sit in the bar, it's really pretty good. Their bartender is really good. However, do not sit in the restaurant side and expect service of any mentionable sort.
Oh, and because our dinner took so long, I didn't get a chance to go tan. AND, I was going to go pick up my refill of birth control pills. However, I'm not going to be able to do that. If I get pregnant because I couldn't start them today as planned, I'm suing Boston's for child support!
