Went in for lunch with a few friends today (weekday). We end up to be the only party left in the place, having a lot of fun. One extraordinarily drunk regular (we assume) came staggering over to our table, accosted our Middle Eastern friend and his wife, harassing them, and stayed continuing for what felt like forever. The waitstaff let it happen, watched it all from the sidelines, doing absolutely nothing, let him tell us 10 times he was a 'boxer from Ireland' and even ripped his shirt to show us his muscles. They still did nothing. Nobody else in the place, remember, only us. After 5-10 minutes of this scary encounter the bartender (a girl) said "hey come on back over here by the bar, ok?" and THEN the waiter (a guy) came over. A few minutes later they let the man come over AGAIN, and they reacted slightly quicker to get him away since we were obviously upset. We never got more than one mumbled "sorry about that" from the waiter. No reassurance that he's harmless or anything. The drunk man was extremely big, scary, drunk, and only wanted to harass our friend from the Middle East and his wife, didn't even look at the rest of us at the table. No management was there, no answer on the phone as I've obviously been trying to call to reach someone. This was completely unacceptable behavior. The waiter took the appetizers off our bill, but he obviously didn't get any tip from us since he left us in a very dangerous situation. Aloof waitstaff let us hang out to dry. Do not go there if you have any friends that are foreigners. I still can't reach management....unacceptable.
