Don't go to Roosters!!
I received the absolute worst service I have ever experienced.
This comment will be long, but I need to explain! Feel free to jump to the bottom, which is the most unacceptable thing any customer should experience while dining.
We made reservations for a bachelor/bachelorette party for 18 people a month in advance. Yes, I know 18 is a lot!! Being a server myself, I definitely sympathize with any server tasked with waiting on a party that size!! But the restaurant knew we were coming, so it's not like we caught them ...off guard. Also -- it was pretty dead .. there was maybe four other small tables seated while we were there.
We get there at 8, on time for our reservation. After being there for 15 minutes without any server coming by, I get a glass of wine from the bartender (no big deal!). Then around 8:30 our server comes by, he's very polite so we didn't really mind waiting thirty minutes, just glad he finally came!! I ordered a water, a queso and chips appetizer for our table, and my meal. After placing the order, we NEVER saw our server ... so when it came to be 9:30 - an hour after ordering and we still hadn't received even our water, and since I couldn't find my server ... I went back to the bartender....
I asked to speak to a manager, she said there wasn't one (?). So I politely, yet diligently, explained that we hadn't received our water or appetizer for over an hour. Many of us got water from the bar because we had to wait so long. Since we made reservations and the restaurant knew we were coming, I asked if our server could get some help. I complimented him for being polite but something needs to happen .... so the bartender was very nice and immediately brought everyone water and the queso.
Shortly after our food arrives. Guess who didn't get their meal?? Me!! Several people had their orders wrong with sides and what not, but not the biggest deal - because we understood getting 18 orders right is a challenge. But I didn't receive mine at all. Our server admitted he gave it to someone else (?) on accident. So he had to re-enter it. I got my food close to 10pm, pretty much after everyone was done.
I wasn't mad - just kind of went with it in good spirits, until the bill came and I saw that 20% gratuity was included. Again, I've been a server for over six years -- so I understand that it is standard to include gratuity for large parties. But I could not accept that I was tipping 20% for not receiving the water I ordered, for not receiving the queso I ordered and for not getting my food until everyone was done. I would've gladly tipped the bartender. She was helpful. So I wrote on the ticket my feelings about this, summarizing everything above. I didn't yell, I didn't make a scene, I didn't cuss. My intention was to accept the 20% tip, pay it, and quietly express my dissatisfaction.
So --- what do I get? I get the server ... marching up to me, wadding up my receipt, THROWING it in my face and calling me a bitch. My friends were HORRIFIED everyone was disgusted with the service we received at this place and how disrespectful and insulting our server was.
