L'chaim Bistro

I had a great experience trying here for the first time. There are a few options of craft beers along with special promotions with which to enjoy them. The shop seems to be family-run and they are a warm and friendly bunch. I tried the IPA and Ale. Both were fresh and flavorful with incredible tones of flavor that cannot be matched by imported canned beers. My only regret was having too full a dinner prior to sample the food here. The snacks looked delectable when served to other tables. Looking forward to my next visit!

Terrible service and extremely rude staff. We arrived when the place was full, but my party was happy to wait for a table and even tried to offer reasonable suggestions on table seating and arrangements. The staff on duty were extremely disinterested even though they had a few empty tables that cleared off after we had waited for 10-15 minutes.

In the last 50 over reviews I have done, never have I had the need to post a 1 star review. The staff here have created a need for this exception. I came here with a group of of 3 others, on a night this restaurant was notably crowded. The staff informed us (condescendingly) that there is no space left, and that they do not have a waiting list. This seemed reasonable, but it was only the start of an extended period of unnecessarily terrible service. While waiting, there were a few tables that cleared up (up to 3) and they were all able to hold 4 people (albeit a little packed). The staff were unwilling to give us the table, we assume it was because they felt it was too small for 4 px. We asked if we/they could move the nearby table to allow for the 4 of us to sit, but the staff just said no, with no explanations. The problem here was not the unfeasibility of seating us, but refusing to explain why we couldn’t be seated, refusing to allow any suggestions of workarounds, and refusing to provide the bare minimum in customer service. Maybe the staff here have no intention to work here long, but I hope management is aware of their staff’s substandard service if they intent for this restaurant to survive long.
