Gypsies...

Posted byrazzicalon 5/6/2009

This place is run by gypsies who will rob you clean. $5 for a glass of milk?? Why? You didn't even milk the damn cow yourself!!!! You bought the milk from a store!

Don't waste your time or money

Terrible food, terrible service, and terrible prices. This is the kind of place that makes you leave slightly annoyed. Don't bother.

I can't believe I even gave them a chance

First of all, this is my third time coming here, and yes, ALL of them were terrible! I tried giving them a chance but jesus, what a despicable establishment. We were never greeted, even after 30 minutes of sitting at the table WE picked out. When the waitress came she was very short and rude with us, as though she had better things to do. This was how my first two experiences there were also, and all three times I never got ? of the way through my meal it was so bad. I don?t know whether to feel sorry for these people or laugh at them. The food, my god, the food was indigestible. The service was patronizing and SLLLOOOOOWW. I?m wondering if these people even get paid for what they do (or don?t do rather), or maybe they aren?t actually on the payroll at all because it?s just enough for them to be able to say ?I work at the Merc? hahaha, what a complete waste of time and money. I?m sorry to the friends who recommended it to me, but I will NEVER step foot in this place again.

come for the pretentiousness, leave for the terrible food and service

first, the "euro-style" service wasn't amusing, even in the 'we refuse to conform because we are better than you' kind of way. I've eaten at many "euro" style establishments, but I have never been outright ignored, even by the hippest and 'weirdest' staff in Denver. I came to watch my friend play. We were one of two other tables sitting in on a totally dead Tuesday night, and they still managed to ignore us entirely. After seating ourselves, we finally got some pretentious, albeit 'DIY' style menus, which we had 45 minutes to look over before being asked "have you found something you like?" by another staff member who then managed over the coarse of another 15 minutes to find our waiter to send him over to ask the same question again. The salad did eventually arrive, complete with limp lettuce with brown edges, on a plate that was way too small. We then had time to watch several other songs, smoke cigarettes, and walk to the bar to order some mediocre yet way over-flavored 4$ glasses of beer, that is undoubtedly 'better' than everyone else's beer. The food did eventually arrive cold, and bland. We are both vegetarians and do know what good vegan cooking is, and this was anything but. I would say it was a poor-man's Watercoarse but the dishes were in fact about twice as expensive. Unable to finish my gross beer, I tried to order a sprite (or 7up). "no. we don't have 'common' soda, um.. what we DO have is organic, agave sweetened (?) lemon-lime flavored vegan soda, thats way better than those 'common' sodas". So 30min later, I'm finishing my SPRITE, and we realize that they do not take credit cards. They did, however have an ATM, which, lucky for the waiter only gives out 20's, because by this time I was so tired that i couldn't bear to wait for change, so I dropped the 20's, and RAN for the exit. I realize that this isn't Perkins, and conforming isn't hip, but if you're going to serve bland food extremely slowly and pretentiously, you shouldn't charge arm and leg.

Yucky!!

Blah!!! Horrible food and even worse service. If you want to be ignored by your server until they bring you awful food, then this is the place. The menu was boring and could have been put together by a 10 year old. My enchiladas were so overcooked that some of the food on the plate was unrecognizable. No one ever checked back with us to see if we enjoyed everything and the fastest service we got was when we asked for the check.
