AVOID AT ALL COST!!!!

Posted byRedwine1on 7/14/2009

AVOID THIS RESTAURANT!!! This place is out to con you out of your money! The owner Ed and his staff are rude and a bunch of liars. They moved my friend out of the banquet room into the restaurant area 3 days before her wedding. They then proceeded to tell her that she had signed up for the dingy, dirty, dark restaurant area. They totally ruined her Big Day!!!! People had to stand up to look over the booths in order to see the bride and groom. What kind of wedding set up is that!!! To top this the place needs a complete makeover.

Avoid This Place!!

I cannot believe the service I had the first and only time I was there. The service at this place is very poor. While I was trying to have brunch the waitress must have came by our booth about 3 times to ask if we were done eating, all the while never coming back to even refill our glass of orange juice or to bring us the requested condiments. I have never been to a restaurant where the waitress asks if we are done eating 15 mins after sitting down. And since I was invited to have brunch there with friend s who said they know the owner and that the service usually better I gave the restaurant the benefit of my doubts. I also needed a place to have my wedding reception(100 People) and decided to have it at another place but was pressured by my fiancé and her friend to have it there. After giving Ed the owner a deposit I had to use the men’s bath room and was discussed with the unpainted wooden panels they used for the restroom stalls. I decided to call Ed and to tell him I decided to cancel my event at his location and asked for my deposit to either be returned or some how give me a restaurant credit in the form of certificate. He said the only way he would give me a credit was if I had 100 people or more come to the restaurant. I think he should have been little bit understanding with my explanation and met me half way. I really don’t understand how this guy is still in business.

Nose-Up-In-The-Air Restaurant

I've been in the restaurant business for many years in The Bay Area and The Drying Shed is probably not the worst I've eaten at , but definitely one of them. Firstly, the hostess was terrible and very rude. My family and I weren't sure how many of our invitees were joining us for dinner and the hostess was not very nice or helpful and left my family waiting in their lounge (very puny lounge). The hostess proceeded to sit other customers who she called by their first names. I assumed they were regulars ( And need I say a lighter shade) and it seemed she was more interested in helping them first . Then she told us we could not drink water in the lounge because their was a two-drink minimum ! Secondly, the food was cold and stale and it seemed as if the hostess, who also was waitressing us, was trying to get us in and out. Absolutely horrendous service ! I was appalled ! Lastly, my mother gave her a fifty dollar bill and asked for change and she returned with two ten dollar bills and continued to argue with my mother that my mom gave her a twenty dollar bill ! (She never gave my mom the correct change). Being in service for many years does not mean the place is great or even good. If you want to get ripped off please come to The Drying Shed they'll leave your wallet dry !

Very good Sunday Brunch at the Drying Shed

My family and I had brunch at the Drying Shed on Mothers Day '08. We had reservations but we were pleasantly surprised with how quickly we were seated since it was very busy. There was a good variety of dishes and everything we tried was delicious. The service was excellent . We're happy to have finally tried this restaurant because it's less than 10 minutes from our home and of course you want to support your local merchants. I will definitely go there again. The prices were quite reasonable, especially on a Mothers Day where one could easily pay half again more than the $22 each that we did.

THE WORST PLACE WE HAVE EVER BEEN TO!

Posted bymorado76on 3/1/2008

LAST NIGHT WE HAD A PARTY OF OVER 40 PEOPLE AND IT THE WORST PLACE WE COULD HAVE HAD OUR PARTY. FIRST OF ALL THE APPERTIZERS WE ORDERED WERE ALL FROZEN FOOD FROM COSTCO. AND THE SUPPOSEDLY FANCY PLACE PUT OUT STALE CHIPS AND PRETZELS AND HAD THE GULL TO CHARGE US $50 FOR THEM! THE SERVICE WAS THE WORST THE LADY THAT CLAIMS TO BE THE OWNER YELLED AT ALL OUR GUESTS AND THREW OUR FOOD ON THE TABLE! THE FOOD WAS VERY OVER RATED. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THE SERVICE WAS THE WORST, WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SPECIAL EVENING WAS RUINED BY THE HORRENDOUS SERVICE. OUR PARTY SPENT WELL OVER $1200 AND IT WAS A WASTE. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY THERE. A PLACE LIKE THIS NEEDS TO TAKE A CRASH COURSE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE. MY WORST FEAR OF ALL IS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 26 YEARS. BEWARE BEWARE DO NOT GO THERE! GO TO COSTCO AND BUY WHAT THEY SERVE. THEY EVEN BUY THEIR STALE DINNER ROLLS THERE!
