Save your time for another place to dine

Just a few comments about the Bottling Works: I can�t right a review on the food because it never came, apparently when it rains their computer systems go down and they don�t know how to use the yellow slips in the kitchen behind the waitress�s order tags. So food comes out at a slug crawl or nothing at all.
We had a 7pm reservation, with 10 people, and a waitress that had just started the day before. Three people at the table just wanted a Pepsi for a drink. Apparently the Pepsi boys dropped off root beer instead of Pepsi, big deal at least offer another type of soda for a choice instead of nothing at all.
The menus need updated as well, because some of there appetizers are no longer offered, but are still shown on the menu. Go order chips and salsa and wait for 45min till they come back and tell you that is no longer on the menu.
It was finally 7:50pm, the waitress came back and took our food order. Finally about 1 hr and 15 minutes into it, we asked to talk to a manager. He came out quite defensive about us being disappointed, saying the Soda thing wasn�t their fault. By that time it wasn�t about the Pepsi, any drink would have done for a drink by then. I could have driven down the street to Burger King, and came back with a drink before they told up something was wrong. Just to get the first beer out to 4 of the people took 20mins.
By 8:20pm, we manager came back, and we came to an agreement with him that we were just going to leave because, even at that time they just had put our food order in the kitchen. I know I will not be going back, or any other person that was at our table. The whole experience left a very bad taste in our mouths like warm skunked beer. I will not be recommending this place ever again, unless you have a lot of time to waste on a rainy night and you eat and drink before you go there. By the time your food settles in your stomach and you start to get hungry again, you might get your appetizer by then.
