Food was great. Service, horrible and even hostile. Short story hostess was downright rude and the waitress actually verbally abusive. Long story. It was a busy Sunday morning and our party of two was informed that because we didn't have a reservation, we would have a half hour wait. I told the hostess this was our first time there and I didn't know that a reservation was preferred. I asked why such a long wait when there were so many empty tables. She said she had 335 reservations so those took priority. She then said unless you want to sit at the counter or outside. I said no thank you and we chose to wait the 30 minutes. We get the text that our table was ready. Same not so nice hostess takes us to a table outside. I asked if we could sit inside and she said no, that was an additional hour wait. I said fine, we'll sit outside. So we sit and we get swarmed by one bee, then another. And then another. I again ask the hostess if she could move us inside on account of the bees. She said no. So having been stung by bees recently, I'm a little nervous because it's incredibly painful. When the waitress finally comes to take our order, I asked her if these bees had been circling all morning and she confirmed that they had. I asked if anyone had been stung. See said no-that no one had been stung and everyone had eaten their meal and been very happy. So, I said, okay, we'll take our chances, and we placed our order. Fast forward a few minutes. Another couple gets seated at the table next to us. The female patron starts swatting at the bees with her menu. I said to my partner, "see it's not just us". Then a pair or young ladies gets seated at another table two down from us. The bees make a beeline for them. One girl is very nervous and jumps out of her seat. Then the bee gets into the other girl's hair and she jumps up. Bees leave for a minute, and the girls start to look over the menu. I said to them, it's not just you guy-we got the bee treatment and so did the table next to us. Waitress overhears me and then starts here verbal attack. She's not even at my table, she was at the table with the two girls and turns to me and starts giving me a verbal lecture about bees and that there was nothing they could do, and you are sitting outside after all, and we can't stray because there is food and on and one she went and yada, yada, yada. I said, I don't need a lecture from you today. She still goes on and on. I didn't engage, but I didn't back down either. She said you know you are free to leave, and I said no thank you I waited a half hour to be seated so I think I'll stay. At this point the two girls get up to leave and tell the waitress she was out of line and very rude. I apologized to the girls, they weren't upset with me, but with the waitress. The couple next to us also got an apology from me, but they also said it wasn't me it was the waitress. The gentleman even said that the customer is always right and that I had done nothing to apologize for. Morale of my long story, don't eat here unless you don't mind getting verbal abuse from the waitress and looked down on by the hostess because you didn't have a reservation. Won't be going back, no matter how good the food might have been.
