    I made a reservation for bar blitzen at 7pm, ensuring we would be anble to get food before they stopped serving. Upon check in, we were told they were running behind. After asking twice how much longer it would be, we were finally seated in bar seats at 7:30. No tables opened for another 30 minutes afterward. There is apparently no time limit, even though they make reservations as such which left a bunch of people high and dry while tables who had been sitting for over 3 hours (as we were told by servers) continued to sit and chat without ordering anything. When you have to pay extra to enter that section in the first place, this is not the service you expect to receive. With no apology or attempt to make it right. Very disappointed
    Culinary Dropout - GilbertResponded on December 13, 2024
    Hi Heather, We're really sorry to hear about your experience with our holiday pop up bar. We understand how frustrating it must have been waiting for your table despite your reservation, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We strive to provide our guests with the best service possible, and we're sorry we fell short in your case. We appreciate your feedback, and I would really like the opportunity to make this right for you. Please, at your convenience give me a call at 480-418-3980. Thank you again and I look forward to speaking with you. Candice
