I hesitate to leave this review because we love Aab so much. However, our most recent visit on 3/12/2023 was less than stellar from a service aspect. So, let me first state the good that was overshadowed by our “head waitress”: 1) The host was friendly and prompt to seat us, and provided several refills for us throughout the evening. 2) The “assistant waitress” filled in the gaps and voids left by the person I assume was supposed to be our waitress. She was friendly, prompt, and available. 3) The food was tasty, high quality, and fresh as we’ve come to expect from our favorite Indian restaurant in the area. Unfortunately, the poor experience we had was squarely on the “head waitress”. A couple of the lowlights: 1) the first time she came to the table she didn’t introduce herself, but complained about how busy she was, and how long we were going to have to wait. Let me be clear, she wasn’t setting expectations, she was complaining about her night. 2) The assistant waitress took our order, then five minutes later, the head waitress comes out with our ticket to confirm our order. Of course the assistant had everything correct, so she only delayed our order. 3) Our entire time at Aab, we heard the head waitress complain to anyone who’d listen how busy she was. If you’re truly that busy, then work at a pace faster than a tortoise and stop complaining to everyone. 4) At the end of our evening, she performed the only duty of a waitress during our time, which was bringing our check. Instead of thanking us, she went into a long winded, rehearsed monologue about how she hoped the slow kitchen didn’t ruin our evening (actually it was you who ruined it), and then capped her poor performance off with a highly distasteful “joke” about the recent train derailments in Ohio. She was completely in poor taste, and I wish I had let her know in that moment. We will still go to Aab, but I will refuse sitting in her section if she is on the clock when we’re there. I only mention any of this because I hope she sees this as constructive criticism and realizes she’s in the service industry, not the “let me ruin your evening by telling you my sob story” industry.
