点评:Food is pretty good, but our server dominated out impression of this restaurant.
She lacked energy, talked in a whisper we stained to hear, asked if we needed more time to check out the menu and when told yes, continued to just stand there with pen poised on pad.
She spilled our Pho when putting it on the table, yet said nothing. Told her we'd be splitting all the dishes and would need additional plates and bowl, yet she asked if we needed additional plates and bowl when bringing us the food. Never brought the fork requested. Never introduced herself or welcomed us despite being told it was our first time there. Totally lifeless and devoid of personality.
Recommend the owners/managers eat at Mellow Mushroom in Knoxville to learn how servers ought to conduct themselves.
Sadly, the server headlines all discussions of our experience with this restaurant when talking to friends.
Now, on to the food:
While I found the Yaum Salad lacking (no lettuce; I thought the menu described items added to lettuce or mixed greens... my ignorance.), my wife liked it, so that's personal taste/ preference.
We both liked the Vegan Combo Fried Rice, though there was too little of it; and both of us thought the Vegan Combo Pho was excellent. If we return, it will be solely to enjoy the Pho again.
PS. Management would do customers a service by identifying the gravel/grass area across the side street as their "parking lot". The"dining room" is drab and dreary, and would Benicio from a fresh coat of paint.
Overall impression is a restaurant focused on food, but oblivious to, or uncaring about, all the other aspects of their customers' dining experience.
翻译:食物相当不错,但是我们的服务员主导了我们对这家餐厅的印象。
她缺乏活力,说话声音很小,我们听不清楚,问我们是否需要更多时间查看菜单,当得到是的时候,她继续站在那里,笔放在记事本上。
她把我们的越南粉洒在桌子上,却什么也没说。告诉她我们会分菜,需要额外的盘子和碗,但她在给我们送食物时问我们是否需要额外的盘子和碗。从来没有带上我们要求的叉子。从来没有自我介绍或欢迎我们,尽管我们被告知这是我们第一次来这里。完全没有生气,没有个性。
建议业主/经理在诺克斯维尔的 Mellow Mushroom 用餐,学习服务员应该如何表现自己。
遗憾的是,当我们和朋友聊天时,服务员是我们谈论这家餐厅体验的头条新闻。
现在,谈谈食物:
虽然我觉得山药沙拉不够好(没有生菜;我以为菜单上写的是加在生菜或混合蔬菜上的东西……这是我的无知。),但我的妻子很喜欢,所以这是个人口味/偏好。
我们都喜欢素食组合炒饭,虽然分量太少;我们都认为素食组合河粉很棒。如果我们再来,只会再来享受河粉。
PS。管理层会为顾客提供一项服务,将小街对面的碎石/草地区域标识为他们的“停车场”。“餐厅”单调乏味,就像刚刷过一层油漆的 Benicio。
总体印象是一家专注于食物的餐厅,但对顾客用餐体验的其他方面却视而不见或漠不关心。
