Marie Callender's

Well, I regret the fact I have not reviewed anything lately. So let me review my latest dinner run.

This evening was quite an adventurous one, my first time going to Marie Callender's. She(Marie), has a staggering reputation if I do say so myself; a successful restaurant chain and half an aisle of frozen entrees. This having been said, the food must be something special if it is so popular, correct?

As we walked in the door, a nice, smiling young man saw us to our seats. From the moment we sat down, the dinner was ruined. Our waitress, a rather set younger lady, came over and said "what do you want?" Literally, the first thing she said, after suppressing shock, I asked for an ice water. Twenty minutes later she returned with four ice waters. I would understand the wait time if she was the only one working or if the place was packed, however, we were the only ones there. The Waitress's frown remained on her face the entire time we were there, drinks went unfilled and the food arrived cold. The bottom of my hamburger soggy before it even touched my table.

This, was not the worst experience of the night. On our way out the door, the same waitress was opening a bottle of wine for an elderly couple who had just arrived. She proceeded to pour the wine and then, as she set the bottle on the table, spilled the glass al over the elderly lady. As the elderly lady ran(as fast as she could) to the bathroom to salvage her lovely dress, the waitress stood there just watching. She did so, as everyone else came and cleaned up the mess. She did not offer the elderly lady an apology, of any sort of sorrow. Her responce to the elderly lady was "you bumped me" I witnessed this with my own eyes and I can assure you, the elderly lady was not moving the whole time. She was watching the young lady pour her wine.

Overall, Marie's is a place I will not be going back to anytime in the near or far future. I am sad to say such a legacy as Marie's has been ruined.
