12/28/2008 - your Napa waitress is so bad we're not coming back
Our family has frequented Peabody's for YEARS. Being easy-going people, we have enjoyed the informal atmosphere--we have the menu pretty much memorized etc. Also, it is one of the few places we can bring our three large full-grown sons and feed them well. We have come in with other couples on a whim--the location is so close etc etc. Up until last night, it was probably the restaurant we enjoyed as a family more than any other place in town.
And then there was last night. The waitress is from somewhere in Napa, she was born in Santa Rosa, her dad has a ranch she calls Kentucky..
We overheard her chatting happily away to the table next to us while it took us one and a quarter hours to get ONE PLATE of food. She also had a lovely ten minute conversation with another table while we waited and waited and waited.
The only reason we didn't walk out was because the CAL game was on and we could watch it--not that enjoyable since the sound was off--but one of our kids went to CAL so we stayed.
After half and hour and no food, we asked for our salad first. She brought it with no dressing. When we asked for dressing she said, "Well you didn't tell me what kind you wanted." We sat for another five minutes and then had to remind her that our plates of lettuce would still like dressing. Twenty minutes after that, I said to her, "I don't mean to be rude, but is your cook catching the fish?" (We had ordered salmon. She laughed and said, "No. Somehow your order didn't go through." Ten minutes before that she had randomly walked over to our table and asked, "Are you the people with the burger?" to which, of course, we answered, "No." ??
After one entire hour the salmon came. It was great as usual but the vegetables, which are usually great, tasted like the cook forgot to put anything on them. Normally we would have blown that off--we're easy-going, but after waiting and hour to eat, we had very low blood sugar. We asked the waitress for a little butter. She said okay but never returned with any.
We usually order quite a bit when we come in--(3 big boys/families with us etc) but last night when we walked in, we explained to the waitress we'd eaten a lot over Xmas and wanted to only order Salmon and a side dish. I guess she figured for that small an order she wouldn't lose much of a tip by being inattentive, but silly of her. My grandparents owned and ran two successful restaurants and I am very sensetive to anything to do with food service. We always tip double when we order less in consideration that we are taking up a table.
By the way, the hispanic people you hire are always saints--friendly, attentive-warm. That's something we've always noticed.
But after all these years, we will not be coming into your restaurant anymore--not with our kids, our friends--nada.
Your waitress from Napa has soured our Peabody experience forever we're afraid. We'll have to stick to Cava and find a new informal place. As you know, it's SB--there are plenty of places to eat. We're sorry for the owners of this establishment that they are stuck with such a terrible terrible TERRIBLE waitress. She is all smiles and we probably would have, on first meet, hired her ourselves. But she is SCARY in how little she sincerely cares when a person's order doesn't show up in an hour!
ps the people behind us got their food in five minutes. Since the entire mix-up was obviously her screw up, at the least she could have faked it, apologized and offered us a free desert or that one silly meal on the house. It's not about the money obviously. It's about the quality of service.
and pps. We mentioned to her at least three times that we were loyal, frequent customers. We never raised our voices to her.
ppps We left her a 3 cent tip which was 3 cents too much. Good luck with her.
