My friend and I decided to visit Slush restaurant on a Friday night for some late-night food. Despite having a reservation, our experience left much to be desired.
Upon arrival, we were initially directed to a bar with a less-than-ideal view and atmosphere. It wasn't until I requested a different seating arrangement that we were accommodated elsewhere. However, our troubles were far from over.
Despite the restaurant not being overly busy, it took the bartender an excessive amount of time to take our orders, as she seemed preoccupied with other patrons. Once we finally placed our orders, the wait continued. It took an additional 20 minutes just to receive our slush drinks, and when it came time to order food, we were met with further delays.
I opted for the Spanish Potatoes and Wings, specifically asking if the wings were fried and crispy. Despite the bartender's assurance, the wings I received tasted baked, not at all as described. The Spanish Potatoes were disappointing as well, lacking seasoning and resembling plain breakfast potatoes rather than the flavorful tapas-style dish I anticipated. Additionally, the promised aioli sauce was nowhere to be found, and the bartender seemed unaware of its absence.
When I raised these issues, the cook, whom I mistook for a manager, approached me from behind. Her response was dismissive and unhelpful, with excuses about not knowing the menu and deflecting responsibility. This lack of accountability was frustrating, especially considering the subpar quality of the food. All she really had to say was that I am the 1st to complain and took all my food away. At this time the manager came to ask what was going on, apologized and said the cook shouldn't have approached me the way she did. I still paid, but know that I won't be back based on this.
Overall, my experience at Slush was disappointing and marred by poor service, unfulfilled promises, and lackluster food quality. I would hesitate to recommend it to others based on my experience.
