    My friend and I met for lunch on a Saturday and sat outside. Only one other party was outside. Waiter was not very attentive. At one point my friend got up to go tell him that we were ready to order and when she came back out, she said it seemed like he might be doing everything, seating people, bartending, and even cooking the food. She said he was in the kitchen at one point when she went inside.

    Food and especially the drinks were great, once we could finally order, but there were not enough staff to handle the trivia crowd. We walked in exactly at our reservation time and there was nobody at the host stand, and no one came over for about five minutes (trivia had already started, we weren't there for trivia, but didn't mind it). We contemplated just going to sit at the bar, but since we had a reservation, we decided to wait. We were seated at a nice table but no one came over to even bring water or take a drink order for 30 minutes. We were discussing whether we should just leave and go eat somewhere else, but luckily were able to catch the attention of a food runner who got us a server. Once the server came over she was very nice and the food came out pretty quickly after that. We saw another couple be seated in this time and also waited so long for a server to come over that they DID actually get up and leave.

    I have been here numerous times and as usual, the food was delicious. But this time the cocktails were disappointing, especially the usually delicious old fashioned. Hopefully just an off night in the bar.

    Everything mediocre. PT burgers overcooked. Stir fry was drowning in sauce. Cajun pasta needed more pasta, less sauce. Korean Nachos were the best of all the food we ordered. Server was nice but not attentive. Empty water glasses. Didn’t check in after we got food. Will not return.

    Our server, Ashley, was attentive and prompt. She made great recommendations, was polite, and thoughtful. She helped make the good food into a great experience.

    Well, I'm just happy that we didn't pay much for dinner. The couple that ordered the cream of crab soup said that they must have added some liquid crab flavor because the soup was the consistency of half and half, wiouth a speck of crab in it. She joked if she poured it though a strainer, there' be nothing left behind. I don't think that the food would have been improved had we had another waitress, but I think our waitress had just been promoted from bus staff or even dishwashing. Her English wasn't very good and she really struggled understanding (I'm a former ESL teacher and used my bag of tricks to increase her comprehension). I asked her if she could leave an item off and she looked at the menu and said no. She struggled to get the two cheesesteak orders correct (no may, no lettuce, no tomato) one one. It's my fault that the burger was overcooked because the waitress didn't ask, and I forgot to mention (I didn't remember because the waiter always asks), but missing in action was arugula, gruyere, aioli and crispy onion. Instead, lettuce and tomato, so when I said PT burger, I guess she just ordered a burger. The chicken salad wrap was huge, but soggy. I suppose some of this would be understandable if it were busy, but we were one of three tables occupied. Didn't feel like a restaurant having a bad night. Seems like this is SOP for the place.
