The Red Headed League Public House

Last year at this time, my daughter went to great lengths to throw a surprise party for me at this establishment. And, I would have been surprised had it not been for the hostess that kept asking my husband and I if we were there for the surprise party. My husband kept giving her “looks” and I even stopped and asked him if he was throwing me a party. The hostess said “Wait, I’m confused, aren’t you here for the surprise party?” My husband and daughter were so upset, and I was too of course. When confronted with it as we were leaving, she screamed and swore at me in front of everyone at the bar. The owners were apologetic but did not even pull her aside, or reprimand her behavior. The food was ok, but it wasn’t great and the whole experience was so awful I can just never go back.

Service was very poor. Very few patrons and no one came to see if we wanted drinks or anything while waiting for a waitress. Bar tender was walking around sipping water and could not be bothered to see if we wanted drinks or to let us know a waitress was in the way. Bar back walked right passed us, too. We walked out.

Had reservations on Mother’s Day. Restaurant was Maybe 35%, 40% full. Ordered our entrees and fries. 1/3 of our party’s food came around 30 minutes into waiting. 2/3 ordered pizzas and took an extra 15 minutes first person was finished when we got our food. Fries came and were lukewarm we did get a new, fresh order. For the long wait, food was mediocre.Servers didn’t know who was taking care of our table, a handful came over to assist. When we asked about the wait. All became verbally combative and excuse filled stating “well a table of 12 put their orders in right before you, so…”Will not return.

My first time there was lovely. I ordered the bananas foster French toast and a mimosa. Yummm!

Meh. The staff was pretty inattentive, and the menu was unimaginative and spartan. If it wasn 't a pizza, burger, or slab of meat, it isn 't on the menu. It 's an interesting place that could be quite hip, but, as it stands, it 's much more of an average neighborhood dive than a destination worthy of diversion.
