Riata Bar and Grill

On the recommendation of a colleague I tried the bleu cheese burger.  Better than "not bad".  I will be back.

This is a great neighborhood restaurant/bar.  Love the "Some like it hot" burgers and curly fries.

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. Went in on a Friday night (6/14/13) with a girlfriend and it was dead. Some level of stimulation would have been nice. The lights were way too bright and the music was barely on.

As for the service- or lack thereof. I walked in by myself. There were 3 girls behind the bar. None of them even acknowledged me. They stood there in the middle of the bar telling stories and playing with their phones. It took a good 5-6 minutes for them to even come over and ask me if I wanted anything. When my friend arrived, same thing. Not even a hello. 5 minutes later she finally got her drink. Now, I certainly would understand if the bar was packed and they were super busy, but this whole time there were only like 8 people in the place- including us. We got menus and then it took another 15 minutes for them to take our order. By this time we were ready to walk out. 3 bartenders for 8 people and we can't even get someone to take our order? Seems like they were too busy texting, checking Facebook, and flirting with the older gents on the other side of the bar than tend to us. Totally understandable since we have vaginas.

We got our food, finished, then waited another 15 minutes for our check. If I hadn't been a bartender/waitress myself for a number of years when I was younger, I wouldn't have left any tip.

Pretty much the worse service ever.
