Well well. I really wanted to have the best of hopes for a new chilis closer to home but after 12 minutes for a water at the bar. It didn't start off to well.
We walked into a "30 minute wait " with 3 visible open booths so decided to sit at the bar! Thankfully it was clean and had some baseball on! So when we sat down we decided on ordering trio sampler because fried pickles sounded mmmm mm good. Only to find out, no fried pickles for me. They were all out! Anyways.... Lets chat about the service ...
Two bartenders, and 7-10 servers they are covering the floor well- by attending to each table. Maybe not as often as you may like but they really are trying! Just be patient, and realize the personality ranges person to person and maybe you'll get one of the 2 with a little customer service skills. They may be a little rough to handle but I think that stems from the team not getting along with each other as you hear enough about how much they don't like each other in the kitchen.... As well as the little attitude over their ear pieces.
Let's get back to that food, a Sante fe veggie burger and Buffalo bone in wings! Let's do this, nothing too difficult!
They brought out the food to us. my boneless wings were bone in and this carnivore isn't doing that today, so they took those back to bring me the right order of bone in. As my friend was getting ready to dive into her Sante fe burger.....
so, you see in the photos the sante fe burger looked great, until you see the sad little piece of avocado... thankfully our server noticed it and brought extra avocado for the burger to be a real Sante Fe style burger
SHE MADE IT ALL BETTER.....
Then she Brought out a smoking hot plate of Bone In Wings, fresh and hot out of the fryer, literally smoking! I was pumped about this meat, until my very first Bite into my wing, the chicken was undercooked. I spread the piece of chicken open to show the bartender and as we all gagged when we saw the pink meat of the chicken just there in front of us. . She took my plate quickly and went to order me a new plate but I decided at that point I wasn't hungry anymore.... Who knows, it maybe a new cook, maybe under staffed in kitchen, or maybe the fryer wasn't working right.... But it's Undercooked Chicken!!
The bartender, Daisy was making sure to make it the best experience possible. She confronted the kitchen as the manger walked into and out of kitchen I really thought he'd come to check on us to see how he could make it right... ha, I thought wrong, he walked towards us only to turn away. And not even address us.
Daisy thankfully apologies again and tries everything to give us a better experience, but let's just be honest ....
Timing was poor, a little mix up on the order, undercooked chicken, and my water cup had some green stuff if it, but thankfully I just chocked that little part up to the dishwasher..... because The cup was still warm. So it was clean! (Plus I didn't notice it until I had taken a nice big swig already)
So in short, I fasted for dinner tonight.
