Terrible Service - Neglected Customers

by Cailin09 at Citysearch

We arrived to Peche at 8pm. It was half empty. We thought great, we would eat fast and meet our friends for drinks elsewhere. The waitress took our drinks order pretty promptly. I got a MaiTai and my husband got a Manhattan (was good). The Mai Tai was bitter (too much lime and not enough pineapple). We ordered appetizers, which took a very long time -Sliders very tasty, Crab, Half burger and and Pork on French bread . All were very good. We then were told that our entre would be coming soon. We waited until 10pm and no entre. Even worse than that, the waitress brought food to our table but messed up, came back took the food to another table. I heard the table behind say they would just get the check and leave, and not wait any longer. The waitress told us five times "your order will be here soon I promise". It never came. We couldn't even get her attention to get the bill until 10pm. The owner walked around the restaurant, but didn't even acknowledge us or the other tables that were waiting so long. It was pure neglect. Undoubtly, the worse service we have ever had in Austin.

• Pros: Didn't have any!
• Cons: Bad service, Neglect.

Great martinis and entertainment!

There is a reason why this place gets crowded and the that reason would be the Spazmatics on Wednesday night! Other than the Spazmatics, the best bartender in Austin works here and his name would be Sanchez! Find him and you will never opt for another bartender ever. Just tell him what flavors you like and he'll craft the perfect martini for you. Some of my favorite drinks (the 'Marilyn Monroe' and 'Berry Shizzle') were made up by him and can't not walk down 4th street without stopping by to get one before the night is over!

The atmosphere is chill on nights other than Wednesday. If you're ever on 4th, don't pass up this bar!

• Pros: Custom tailored martinis to your taste, chill on nights other than Wednesdays
• Cons: Cougar night on Wednesday! Come early on Wed if you want a good seat
