Winner of Worst Treatment at a Restaurant

This was one of the worst experiences that I have had. There was a female bartender who was incredibly rude. After 20 minutes of no service, I asked for a bottle of wine. She looked at me and kept on serving others. I saw someone who had just walked in and got served so I asked her politely "what happened to my order?", she said "What was your order?". I asked her if she remembered what it was 20 minutes ago and she told me "I wasn't listening". Another bartender filled the order telling me that they were out of the bottle that I wanted.

We were a group of 9 and when the bill came, there were charges for drinks that we did not order. I think they thought they could charge up our bill because there were several bottles of wine on it and a couple of cocktails, and we would not notice. My husband paid the bill before looking it over. When the waiter brought the bill back with the receipt to sign, my husband noticed that there were drinks on it that we did not order. He informed the waiter who told us that the computer was down and that he could not take them off the bill. He would give us more drinks to make up for the mistake. When we insisted that was not acceptable since we did not want to consume more alcohol, he left in a huff and later came back with a corrected bill.

There was no apology given by the bartender or waiter and management never came over either.

As for the food, portions are small. Food was acceptable.

Serious Disappointment

My husband and I were celebrating our 1st Anniversary this year and I looked high and low for a nice restaurant. When we first arrived there was no complimentary valet like the website said there would be on Fri. & Sat and it was pouring down rain. So we had to walk a good ways to the restaurant in the rain.
Upon entering the place, the bar was packed with what appeared to be 40 something and over adults. We felt pretty out of place at the get go, and my husband and I are 28. Our table was at one of the windows with a view. Our view had a nice shoreline, but if you look any further over the water, your looking at reagan national airport runway and tons of airplanes with their flashing lights. Not that great a view. The dining room was decorated nice and we loved the vaulted ceilings. However, all the loud noise from the bar carried over into the dining room, so the place was pretty loud.
Our server was a good server, however, he was quiet and did not have very much personality whatsoever. He was only going through the motions of the job. All the servers looked as though they wished they were somewhere else but there.
My rockfish was overpriced and tasted like it was caught fresh out of the potomac. My husbands steak was OK, but could have used more salt or maybe garlic. His onion rings were mushy and overly greasy. Expect your meal to be less than satisfying at a whopping $102, after adding a glass of wine, coffee and desert to your check.
The ONLY highlight was the fresh fried calamari and the $8 glass of Essence Reisling.
This place is not for the romantic seekers. The place seems like it was only meant for the older adults that owned their own yachts and stopped in for a cocktail before shipping back out.
