POSH @ The Scranton Club

Only star is for the sweaty waitress who was attentive to our table. Went there for a sponsored dinner. Parking was difficult. Food was lousy. Cold and not very tasteful. Don't waste your money.

There really should be two reviews, one at 2 stars and one at 4. The food is excellent at Posh, and the ambiance is quite lovely. As a vegetarian, however, I must complain about the lack of vegetarian options on the menu. I have been there for lunch, and the lunch specials seldom offer a vegetarian option. I went on Sunday, Jan 20, with a group of 13 people. Not one vegetarian option on the menu. I mentioned this to the waitress, and she came back with the offer of a mushroom risotto, which I accepted. However, one of our party also wanted the mushroom risotto, and the waitress said she could not have it because she wasn't a strict vegetarian. To deny a patron a dish already being prepared for another patron seems ludicrous. The risotto was delicious, but I believe that any decent restaurant should ALWAYS have a least one meatless, fishless option in each category: appetizer, salad, soup, entree.

As for the service: orders were taken and delivered well enough. BUT a wait person SHOULD NOT call the customers "sweetheart." We do not know each other, we are not friends, and we deserve to be treated as professionals. And when it came to the bill, it was a disaster. We were divided into groups. In my group we were five, and that was indicated to the waitress several times. when the bill came, two groups were incorrectly billed, repeatedly. A party of three was billed for four, and many items were billed twice on two different checks. After having our check redone twice, I gave up and paid for two items that were not for our party, but not until making sure that the other party was not paying for the same item as well.

For the kind of restaurant Posh wants to be and should be, they really need to improve the menu offerings a bit, but the service needs to be MUCH BETTER. They will lose clientele if they don't improve their service.

I want to love Posh I really do.  First the good.  The food is excellent.  Their lunch menu is reasonably priced.  Their curtains are the coolest (be sure to check them out).  The building is beautiful.  The cocktails are interesting.  Now the bad.  The service.  I have been here several times and each time have encountered one or both of the following: a disinterested server & painfully slow food service.  The service has kept me from recommending Posh to acquaintances.  I also feel that the dinner menu is overpriced.  Again I want to love Posh and I hope the service improves.
