paliottis abbotsfird. a friend was going here, i told her food was ok, service terrible. this is her report.
the restaurant? omg! horrible! the food was mediocre and tepid, the service was beyond bad. worse than non-english speaking filipinos at a mcdonald's in skid row. seriously!! i've never seen anything like it. unprofessional, bordering on mentally challenged when speaking to customers, no clue or idea of what they serve. ted was at the bar when i got there and he asked that they bring his beer to our table. that took 20 minutes easily. i tried to order a glass of wine but couldn't because i was snubbed and ignored. the water boy was pretty friendly but had no authority to do anything other than pour water. i had a discussion with the waiter (owner's nephew) about wine finally, after my tepid semi-congealed meal had arrived, and opted for the "pretty good red out of a bottle" (his words, repeated emphasis on "out of a bottle").
never going to that dump again ever. so far mission springs hasn't impressed me, but they could get some of my business as well after last night's fiasco. oh, and the meal was so horrible that i couldn't hardly eat it (cheese filled tortellini in a parma rose sauce). so nice of them to kindly wrap the leftovers to go for me to take home. i stopped on hwy 7 in maple ridge and tossed it in a dumpster. gah!
