So why would they sit us in the bar? We did not request it. They did not offer. They just did it. We're neither of us sports fans, so the televised team sports everywhere we looked was a little much. And being a bar, it was noisy as well. So we asked to be moved to the dining room instead, which they graciously did.
And we sat in the dining room and picked this apart. Why was it that sitting in the bar bothered us? Was it the noise (TV) the theme (sports) or the background chatter? And conversely, why did some loud-ish kids at the next table not bother us in the restaurant? I mean, we went to get away from kids, right? Granted, they were not our kids; they were someone else's, and therefore we did not have to deal with them, but why would their noise not bother us and the TV noise in the bar did? And what the heck was up with them just seating us in the bar in the first place? If we want to go to a bar, we'll go one of two places:
- AFK Tavern, by gamers, for gamers, with Games on Tap.
- Big Daddy's, preferably when Platinum Spandex is playing. .
For the love of GOD don't go to the Keg. Not in Lynnwood. They rake you over the coals on the prices and the wait staff does not care at all. We went once. There were four tables around us that were all seated at once. They got at least 2 orders per table wrong. I got the wrong steak cooked wrong. The guy a tthe table to our left got the wrong steak cooked wrong 3 times... And they never once offered to take the order off the ticket. I refuse to go back to the Keg in Lynnwood and I try to warn my friends. Go to the Outback in Everett. We have never had an issue there.
ReplyDeleteHeh - there's an Outback less than a mile from our apartment. I was only thinking the Keg in Lynnwood because that's closer to Lizzy's favorite babysitters :-)
