I wouldn't go back, either.<br />But sounds like once you were home your evening lightened up considerably. :)<br />Happy T-Day! :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-66734188436588725462015-08-11T11:25:49.184-07:002015-08-11T11:25:49.184-07:00I doubt they'd try to make it up to us.

Now that we know what they're like, we're not interested in any of their tables. There are so many great BBQ restaurants here, and we haven't been to all of them yet. We're glad to put this one behind us.Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-49767643980382281982015-08-11T11:08:24.262-07:002015-08-11T11:08:24.262-07:00Very odd how you were treated - it seems like othe...Very odd how you were treated - it seems like other guests were getting attention! I´d have written a letter to the establishment; if they have any sense of decency they should look over their routines/attitudes (I mean, why should *you* have to cheer up the waitress!) give you a sincere apology, and a free meal at their best table. Like you say, the manager may not be aware of the problem in full.

After three quarters of an hour waiting for our steak and chips (we had been able to order) we walked out of the restaurant never to come back. How long does it take to cook a steak in a small restaurant with only 5 tables...<br />I must say your take homes look really nice though.<br />Have a great week and thanks for popping by earlier,<br />LiscaLiscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055538730629891703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-40540226220477375962015-08-11T09:52:02.338-07:002015-08-11T09:52:02.338-07:00I am sorry that the service was so bad there.. but...I am sorry that the service was so bad there.. but the meal looks very yummie!<br />Happy T-Day!<br />oxo<br />Susifroebelsternchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06501600240752195171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-75260183063758324012015-08-11T09:48:03.771-07:002015-08-11T09:48:03.771-07:00sheesh...too bad about that experience! it's u...sheesh...too bad about that experience! it's understandable that you expect prompt and courteous service for your money. though I know from experience a waitresses job is not easy either. have to think the hostess was probably responsible for not letting the waitress know, and the manager did not do a good job of managing the staff either! my husband is always good at making conversation with the staff so they remember him. You did the right thing by smiling! hope your next restaurant experience is better! happy T day!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657202600364368434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-44116865291790861792015-08-11T09:45:43.507-07:002015-08-11T09:45:43.507-07:00I've been treated the same way, so I am quite ...I've been treated the same way, so I am quite aware of your feelings about the place. Like you, I have also smiled nicely and praised my waiter/waitress for even the smallest thing. Sadly, things occasionally turn sour during the meal, and in my opinion, often clouds our view of the food, too. I can truly relate to your bad dining experience, so it's good to know that I'm not the only person who's been snubbed in restaurants. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your dining experience AND your coffee and pound cake with us for T this Tuesday. BTW, I love the ATC you made for Karla!Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-88808134083880997462015-08-11T09:35:14.899-07:002015-08-11T09:35:14.899-07:00Hm, from the picture the Texas toast looks like......Hm, from the picture the Texas toast looks like...regular bread. The onion rings look good, though. Too bad the restaurant visit was a disappointment. But the coffee and cake that you had later look GREAT, so at least you were able to have a nice dessert at home.<br /><br />You are right, the Nokomis library has wonderful windows. It was renovated about 5 years ago, and one of the main changes they made was to improve the lighting. I have visited that library once before, in the 1980's, and it was a completely different place back then--very dark, with low ceilings. Amazing how much it has changed.Denise Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04627425586228447868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-46394528227311061282015-08-11T09:02:34.974-07:002015-08-11T09:02:34.974-07:00I have a girl who LOVES onion rings.

If the food had been over the top good i might have given them another chance but if not then i wouldn't go back... We had good service and great food at a new pizza place this week called Damn Good Pies...lol funny name good food and excellent service... nice clean place... We'll go back ...We've been disenchanted with the big chain pizza places like PH and Dom..ever since they started doing battle by changing up their recipes for sauce and dough we just don't care for it... It was a matter of don't change it if its not broken.... anyway... Happy happy Tday Divers!

We'd have left, but honestly we figured if we wanted to try the food we needed to try it that day. No way were we going to go through that again.
