top 10 worst dining experiences. hello concerned fellow diners. i don't usually take the time to post reviews on restaurants unless i've had an outstanding experience, or a terrible one. in this case, it was very much the latter. if you want the cliff notes of the review here you go: 1.) apathetic, neglectful, and unapologetic service from wait-staff & management. 2.) overpriced and mediocre food & drink. 3.) not even a full house, and it took over an hour to receive our entrees.
here's the full review. my wife and i invited our best couple friends to come have sushi with us in plano where we live. they live in uptown dallas and we usually go down there to enjoy the plethora of unique restaurants and cuisine in that area. we decided to take them to naan sushi at shops at legacy.
here's the gist of our experience. we made reservation for 8:00. we were seated on the patio by request at 8:00. at 8:15 i had to stand up to grab the hostess to ask if a waiter would eventually come greet us and take our drink orders. she blankly told me yes, she thought so. no apology. at 8:25 an apathetic waiter who did not introduce himself showed up to take our drink order, and inform us the kitchen was behind, and entrees would take 20-30 minutes. we decided to order quickly. we placed all of our orders for appetizers, drinks, and entrees all at once, and did not see our waiter again for 45 minutes. our water glasses sat empty for nearly the entire meal, which ended up being about 2.5 hours. not because we were having such a great time, but because our food took an hour to come, and we couldn't get the attention of our waiter with a road flare. here's the worst part, after getting up several times to investigate the situation i realized the restaurant was nearly empty. they were not extremely busy, just totally neglectful to their patrons. the waiters were not hustling at all or making any effort whatsoever to compensate for the slow kitchen.
at 2 hours into the "meal" we were so hungry because we had only received 2 entrees between the 4 of us, i had to find our waiter to ask him to bring the bill because although we were still hungry, we were not going to waste any more time here. 15 minutes later our bill came. i stood up to find the manager told him this was easily one of the worst dining experiences i had ever had, and he offered a round of shots, anything we wanted. i would have preferred if he had offered to comp a round of drinks from our bill which was extremely overpriced for the dismal service and mediocre sushi we got, but we asked for a shot of crown royal. at that point we were so pissed we needed it. by the way, it took him 10 minutes to bring the round of shots. we decided to walk across the street to twisted root burger company for a real meal. we will not be returning to naan sushi any time soon.
