The organizer's fiance sent his back- it was cold. Our food BEGAN arriving at about 8:15, two hours after ordering, table by table. Later a smallish young waitress came in to help, but while the two of them were really trying, there simply wasn't enough manpower. In sympathy I asked the manager for more help for him, and was pretty much ignored. He was an intelligent young man, a student at the nearby university, very personable and somehow maintained a cheerful demeanor though he'd basically been thrown to the lions. ONLY ONE WAITER was supplied for about ten tables, each holding about 6 people, and he began taking our orders around 6:30. But that was OK because we were looking forward to whatever our main courses were going to be. The appetizer table was already set up, and the spread tasted very good, although there wasn't that much of it. Here I should say that the path from the parking lot was thick with ice, but at my polite request a staff member salted it. We all arrived at 6, as per reservation and went to the back room. Appetizers had been pre-arranged by our organizer, and the rest of the individual ordering was up to us. The back room had been reserved months before for us 60 Superbowl friends/fans to eat the evening previous to the Game. I give them six more months, generously.but won't be surprised if they close sooner.įirst of all to be completely fair I had no objection to the food, which was good, and my wife, who's a real aficionado confirmed this. With both meals wrong AND cold, something should have been taken off the bill at this point or, offer dessert or something. After awhile our replacement dinners finally came. The cheese on the beans wasn't even melted! My friends spinach enchilada had no spinach! Server tells us he is 'Management' for the evening and will 'make it right'. My enchilada became a cheese quesadilla which was a flour tortilla with 1/2 slice of what seemed American cheese! To add, rice and beans ice cold. What I was served was a Bell Pepper stuffed with some kind of grainy meet, no cheese. I asked about a dish, waiter couldn't explain so I opted for my 'go to' dish Chile Releno with a cheese enchilada. There were only three other tables.Drinks ordered and forever to deliver. We were seated timely but then, the waiter didn't come for drink orders for some time. First the ladies room was filthy and smelled of urine! That alone should have been the hint. We were headed downtown but decided upper Central, easier parking and less traffic so we chose this restaurant. After a long trip my friend and I were looking for Margaritas and Mexican food in Albany.
