On a Monday afternoon, with no one around... I attempted to place an in-person to-go order at this restaurant... I've been here before, I mean, metaphorically. It was at another location of this very brand. I came here dragging my feet, but. Decided I might give er another shot.
Unfortunately the guy doesn't lie, when it comes to "The Daily Beet"; or might they perhaps actually mean to express the old adage?
Either way.
Monday, 2ish PM. Hardly a customer in sight. I didn't have to wait (much) for my order to be taken: I was the only person in line. It only consisted of 2 dishes anyway, and those are touted as some of their most popular. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
The food is fine. The service and time spent? .... Not so much.
Nearly 20 minutes to receive HALF of the 2 item order. It came in a cardboard bowl. Wonderful! I'll just go fuck myself when it concerns utensils, napkins, and a bag... Right??
Oh, but if only it wasn't such an obvious bother for me to ask for the other item I already paid for. And then to have to request simple shit, like A BAG FOR THE CARRYOUT. OR SOMETHING TO HELP ME EAT THE SHIT.
I digress... It is truly pathetic that there can't be any semblance of urgency in a place like this one. Especially where it is located: the busy -busy, always-to-be-hurried, this-is-A-LUNCH-BREAK, CBD.
Get new employees, or train the ones you have to complete tasks with accuracy. And, to be frank, it really wouldn't hurt to see a little hustle.
Glad to know of other emerging restaurants offering similar items at a lower cost, with a bigger smile...., And with at least a semblance of care and urgency.
To add insult to injury, we have this... An Avocado pit in my "Rainbow Bowl". It came with three pieces of microscopically sliced avocado meat. What a joy.
Do better, fr.
