Chalkboard

I was so disappointed with the service. The food was spectacular. If not for the chef bringing us our food and silverware, and the bartender pitching in at many points during the meal it would have been a disaster. My husband's food came out at least 5 minutes after mine. Sad.

Bad service and racist server!!! I was so excited to go here today because I love their cocoa trifoglio but I was so disappointed about the service here today. First of all, it took about 10 minutes for them to go to our table to even give us water. Second, when we were ready with our order and tried to get the server's (Deanna) attention, she ignored us because she was busy counting the tip from the table next to us. Third, when she approached us, she didn't even smile or seemed & sounded friendly. Fourth, she asked my husband (referring to me): "And what is she going to have?" when I was waiting for her to just look at me and ask. Fifth, the one who gave us the first 3 pastas dropped one of the spoons on the table and then proceeded to stuff the spoon in the food. Sixth, she tapped my husband on the shoulder a few times to ask how the food was but ignored me. Seventh, The next 2 pastas were served after 30 mins. Eighth, at that point, I didn't want my chicken anymore since I wanted to eat it with my pasta. When we told Deanna to cancel it, she said she already had the kitchen fire it up and didn't apologize for the wait. Instead of apologizing for an hour wait, she made an excuse that she was staging it for us (without telling us!) and asked what my pasta was out of the 5 samplers. Does it even matter?! She then sulked and left. Ninth, after a few minutes (not even near closing time), she just laid the bill on our table without a word and without us asking for it. We were going to order more wine! Tenth, when she gave us our receipt, she laid it on the table again and didn't say anything. A simple thank you would have been nice since we were very courteous to her. Finally, as we were leaving, she said goodbye to my husband but not to me. She was oh-so-nice and joked with the white people next to our table and to my husband but she ignored me for the most part. Can't help but think she is racist. Not coming back and definitely spreading the word about this place.

The house made pretzels are yummy. Love the pasta! Very rich and tasty.

The bartender is FANTASTIC . Best I have ever seen/met

I have been to Chalkboard about 4 times, the first time was the best. With so many great restaurants in the area, I think I'll try something else next time.
