Last time I ever saw Bonny, she was sitting at the bar at Havana.

I think we need to be tolerant of service that isn't up to par so soon after the pandemic. Servers and cooks are difficult to find, and it may be worse when the checks start coming for those on unemployment. We dined last night at another restaurant (there were 10 of us outdoors) and the service was very slow. I'm just happy to be out and enjoying our friends' company.

I don’t think he bashed the restaurant he said the food was good, just poor service. Went to Lopez Monday night and the same thing no silverware on the table had to ask for it, had to ask for water I guess just a sign of the times and it’s only going to get worst.

It's quite possible that the server might be a new hire that hasn't learned all the ropes yet. You are alive, apparently in good enough health to get around to eat out and have the money for the luxury of eating out while many people are scratching the bottom of the barrel to buy food to eat at home. Many people can only wish and pray that poor service at a restaurant was the worst problem in their life.

Bread is no longer routinely offered at many restaurants.If they do provide bread in many cases you have to ask for it. I don’t like it but that is the trend.

"going to get worst" would that make your day? How do you know it will? I like to think it's going to get better. By the way Min. Wage is $5.63 an hour for tipped employees. I wouldn't want to count on Villagers for tips.

I have read all the posts and my post was the best

I have been A village president for many years and Havana is excellent. That’s all I have to say about that

good to know. We've not been going out, they r in our front door (now that we own our own place)... will pass for now, I think...OR, heed your help, and request bread and water ASAP.... I expect that as well. I'm a water drinker!

Best not to offer it in this day and age. Could be considered fat shaming.

He did say he would not be going back. Bashing to me

Ten of us ate lunch at Havana yesterday. Our server immediately took a beverage order and they were served promptly. Wraps, salads, sandwiches, salmon and cocoanut shrimp were ordered. Everything came out quickly and everyone was pleased with their meal. I had the cocanut shrimp and they were delicious. Beverages were refilled without a request. They were very busy and had ample staff. Returning for dinner this week.

You seriously replied to your own post to bow down to yourself?

My favorite time for Havana was two to three years ago. I guess there were different people running the restaurant at that time. I'm talking about when they offered complimentary home made potato chips and they had the turkey and Amarena cherries salad on the menu. Those cherries were out of this world. When that salad was removed from the menu, I was informed that the cherries were too expensive.

I missed that salad so I ordered the cherries on line at Amazon. YES, they are expensive but sooooo very delicious. Now I make my own salads with those delicious Amarena cherries.
