gnats, my unlost bug moment

Postby 81 » Sat Dec 08, 2012 4:21 pm

went to lunch......and ended up sending this email to them....


Just wanted to write to you about your bar. We stopped in today, Sat December 8th for a quick lunch. We sat down at the bar ordered drinks and were dive bombed by a multitude of gnats. We thought it might be one or two, but they kept coming. We tried to get past it and ordered some food, but the gnats kept attacking. We moved to a window seat and saw a couple of more flying creatures. At this point, we realized the bar area was less than clean, which made us wonder if this is how the public portion of the bar is kept, what does the kitchen look like. The more we sat there wondering, the less hungry we became. Ultimately, we couldn't stomach the thought, so I tossed the bartender a 20 and left without finishing our drinks or waiting for the food.

I write not asking for anything, because we won't ever be back, however, i feel you deserve to know why we left, and what your customers are encountering in your establishment.

nope....

i'd say the odds of a reply are less than 10%

maybe i'll tweet them later in the week to ask if they cleaned up the joint.

this place also had the worst bartender i've ever come across....couldn't hear a word he said. :fp:

A few of us went to lunch once and everyone but me ordered French Onion soup. I don’t do cheese or soup for that matter, but one found a GRASSHOPPER in her soup. She was sitting next to me, and I pushed myself away from that table so fast . . .GROSS.

could have been fruit flies. [will shrug]

woman thought i was goofy for leaving anything....and i somewhat agree, but we just wanted to get out of there....in hindsight, should have asked for a manager.

So I take it they never responded to your complaint? If they didn't that's probably just as bad as the bugs.
