The staff seemed entirely disinterested in customers as they walked in. The hostess came across as very angry just to be there. The restaurant was completely empty when we arrived yet the staff was not eager to greet anyone. Except the musician! He was fabulous. The food was typical Mexican food but not great. With so many decent to great restaurants to choose from in the area, I'd skip this one. Sorry to say.
We waited 30 minutes just to get waters brought to the table. Food took another hour and a half. It wasn't very busy in the restaurant when we arrived but it did pick up a little as we were waiting for food. I noticed customers at the bar received food way before we did and they arrived after we did. We waited for 20 minutes with empty glasses to get water refills.
We have a standing joke about Gardunos variability. This particular afternoon was a hit. But what topped it off was our server, Rebekah. She was on the ball, friendly and conversant. There was a lot of table crosstalk while we were ordering and she didn't miss a thing. We've been Gardunos customers for over 30 years and hope this location can get their stuff together to maintain consistency.
