  Where to begin?
  I was traveling with a friend (also a female) and we decided to go out our last night to a nicer restaurant. Two that seemed delightful online were this and The Grill. Based on menus posted online, we chose this place.
  *spoiler alert - we went to The Grill after and were overwhelmed by how magnificent it was.
  
  Ok. My friend and I are currently overwhelmed by the amount of "wrong" so I'm going to be as brief as possible and list the things that were wrong (in no particular order): menus were rumpled and had mystery globs and stains on them; food on the fork from a prior user; another fork sticky and gross; were seated in the middle of the room when there were several tables by the windows; the bar door was open playing wildly clashing music that competed with the sad 70s music in our area; was the only table given a check with a stapled piece of paper like a to-go order instead of a billfold and after 7 minutes - with the credit card sitting atop it - we left a HUGE tip (paying with cash) just so we could leave; staff COMPLETELY ignored us except to stare; one wait staff wasn't wearing a bra and made sure to lean over her patrons tables; staff was noy dressed professionally - leggings in lieu of pants, too-tight shirts, dirty socks paired with shorts are some of the items we saw (and yet they had no trouble looking down their nose at me); when asked what we wanted to drink, we said we wanted to wait till we decided what we were going to eat and the server rolled his eyes and then asked my friend the same question minutes later and then never asked us if we wanted anything; ran out of water 2 times and when I tried to get their attention, looking the server in the eye, he looked away and then didn't come near our table again until it was time to bring the check - which he only did after we pushed everything away from us and to the middle of the table, our more appropriate indications going unnoticed; the hostess (!!) brought our crab dip and NO ONE EVER CAME BY to ask if it was alright (it wasn't; i have a severe pepper allergy and the crostini was COVERED in it - I tried to get someone to come to the table but no one EVER looked at us); there were 4 other tables seated in the room and the braless waitress went to all of those tables repeatedly but wouldn't look at us and wouldn't acknowledge when I spoke to her; neither our server (Pete I think it was) nor 'braless' even looked at us (let alone responded) when we thanked them for something (each filled our water once).
  
  On top of all of that, and the just horrifically bad service (at what was indicated to us as an upscale restaurant), I believe that we were treated poorly as if we were a)too poor to eat there (i assure you we had no trouble spending money on alcohol, entrees and dessert at The Beach Shop and Grill!) & b) may be lesbians. I kid you not - we were seated like in a fishbowl and treated like second-class citizens with full on stares and then quick looks away when we tried to get their attention.
  
  The crab dip was fine (although microgreens on top of a hot item just makes for wilted greens and that is not appetizing) although the crostini was so full of salt and pepper even my friend (sans allergy) thought it was way too much. The water was...difficult to get. The silverware and plates were dirty. The staff was rude and (at least ours) MIA for the vast majority of the time.
  
  And these are just the highlights.
  
  Want a nice meal out? Spend your dollars elsewhere I highly recommend Chug and Grub (their food is delightful even if the ambiance is not) and The Beach Shop and Grill - where we had a TERRIFIC meal with a lovely server (Kaitlyn) and a positive atmosphere.
