So I normally eat here and love it but after tonight I most likely won't be back... Let me start off by saying we own a local resturant and love to support local restaurants so we made a reservation for 4pm tonight several days in advanced and were told we needed to be gone by 6pm due to another reservation, totally get it no issues for us. We were treating our employees and family to a dinner and gift exchange for Christmas so it was 15+ people..we got there at 4pm ordered drinks and then appetizers and by 430pm everyone had ordered their food. There was another christmas party table behind us(we knew them also lol) Everything was going good until 5:30pm... their party behind us was almost done but not quite yet and we were still waiting on our main dishes for we could eat.(The waitresses bar area was located next to our table) I was up walking around with my 10 month old and my friend/employee was with me and while standing by the end of our table these other waitresses(not ours) started to talk amongst themselves but very loudly to where everyone could hear them.. they were complaining about us and the other party, they started by saying we took " a f***** hour to order our food" (which is a lie) and we " f**** were told that they have a reservation at 6pm and need to be f****** gone before then" but because we took " a f***** hour" to order they were peeved... the other party was taking " f***** 1 1/2 hours to open f***** present and need to leave" my friend/employee and I was flabbergasted at their language and total disregard about how loudly they were talking about us and the other party who could aslo hear them...also kept giving us dirty looks.. (mind you OUR waitress was and older gal with grey/white hair and so sweet) Their 6pm showed up 20 mins early and they were a big party and needed all our tables which we understood but we still hadn't even gotten our food.. the party behind us left at 550pm and that's when we all finally got our food also. We knew 550 didn't leave us alot of time to eat and because of how rude they were still being and kept talking loudly about us, it made us all uncomfortable and so we all ate as fast as we could and managed to get out of there by 6:04pm. On top of that none of our food was that good tonight either... mine was over cooked and dry, I asked for no seasoning on my veggies for i could share with my son and they salted the hell outta it and everyone else had issues with their food not being cooked properly either but we didnt want to complain so we ate it anyways for we could leave.(Our waitress was so amazing and kept apologizing for the other waitresses behavior and we truly appreciate her.) As we were all walking to our cars the other party was outside waiting and those other waitresses were addressing them stating they were sorry for the wait but that their other guest(us) "didn't give a s*** and took forever and were still taking their time leaving" and then glared at us as we are trying to leave... As a resturant owner I would be so embarrassed and apauled by those waitresses behavior.. we love to support local but next year we will be taking our buisness elsewhere.. to be treated this way when we are not only spending alot of money but us leaving 4 mins late was also out of our control.. I hope the owner sees this and makes some changes because this treatment was uncalled for. Also our waitress(older gal with Grey hair) we hope the tip we left went to her and her alone!!! Because she busted her a** for us and was so amazing and sweet!! Those other gals don't deserve any of her tip! And the 1 star is for the other gals...our waitress deserves 10 stars 🌟
BBQ yes! Oysters galore but not BBQ at any other restaurants locally. Yummy garlicky butter sauce made this California boy happy. Chower was thicker than others we tried locally and was more to our liking. Nice staff!
We discovered this restaurant online, and although getting there was a bit of a hassle. However, we were in for a treat. The food in this restaurant is fantastic (I had the BBQ pork ribs). The staff were very, very accommodating, almost literally moving heaven and earth to make sure that we would have a wonderful evening in spite of our food allergy issues.
We made reservations for dinner on a Saturday night. The patio was nice and relaxing. The service was good. Cocktails were delish! Overall, the food was okay. The halibut was over cooked and dry, the vegetables were undercooked and crunchy.
In town for a funeral, met several family members here, caught staff off guard with a party of 9 but they got us in and seated with no issues..., service was fantastic. A lot of reconnecting amongst family then food arrived. right off the grill cooked perfectly! everyone loved the food, service, and the outdoor dinning area was an excellent choice. we'd go there again when back in Coos Bay.
