Extremely Disappointing, Unsafe Food, Poor Service, Avoid.
I’m not usually the type to write scathing reviews, but our experience was unacceptable and potentially dangerous. We visited the cornerstone after Church expecting a straightforward meal and left shocked by the lack of basic hygiene and care and negligence.
Summary of issues:
The water cups smelled unmistakably of fish. Yes, the drinking cups. That’s not a minor oversight; it’s a hygiene failure.
Every item we ordered carried that same fishy odor. Nothing tasted fresh.
The burger arrived very raw. MOLD SPORES ON THE CHEESE. (Check the photos) This is a serious food safety problem.
The kitchen and service area were swarmed with flies, not a few, but enough that it was impossible to ignore. They offered us a fly fan,
we never got it!
Service was nonexistent. We were not checked on once. They expected you to hunt them down it felt like.
When we asked for cold water to replace the fishy cups, management handed us bottled water instead of addressing the underlying smell or investigating, not even a sincere apology. Our needs were far from unrealistic expectations, in fact they were neglected.
Stood for almost 10 minutes waiting to be seated or at least greeted before we were told to wait longer so they could clean the table, which then took more time. Zero sense of urgency in this establishment! Our food took an HOUR despite the dining room being far from full. Not to mention the people ahead of us got seated immediately, and directly served. Took 15+ mins before we could order also.
This experience felt negligent rather than unfortunate. For paying customers, this was sincerely intolerable…and unacceptable by any means.
Action requested: If you run this establishment, inspect your glassware immediately! As a team, go over kitchen cleaning protocols, and food handling immediately! Now…if you’re a frequent diner, I strongly recommend you avoid this place until management can demonstrate that basic sanitation and competent service are in place, punctually and consistently!
We won’t be returning, and I’d advise others to think twice before eating here.
