The Black Cap

So i'll start here with a little place called The Black Cap in North Conway n.h.

My botfriend and i were in dire need of a date night without our two kids, so i dropped the kids off with grandparents, kidnapped my significant other and headed off to a little place called North Conway.  We had no idea what our plans were for the night, just that we needed to do something fun, but first things first, we needed to eat.

We decided we wanted to try this resturaunt in town that we had never been to called the muddy moose, but, the waiting line was way too long, so we hopped back in our vehicle and on our way to what we thought might be a beter choice in venue for our date night dinner.  We ended up choosing this place called the Black Cap, supposedly this place was on the verge of being considered fine dining, but as our experience should prove, it was no such thing.

So, we walk through the doors into this place strewn with high tables and dim lighting, expecting a good dining experience, what we got was probably the worst experience of my life. 

The first problem was that there was no line and obciously empty tables but it still took the hostess ten minutes to seat us, mainly due to the fact that she wasn't at her post. We were finally seated and out waitress came over, but before we could order our drinks she took off again. Ten minutes later she comes back but seems very distracted and unwilling to take the time to answer my questions. 

We eventually put our order in, I ordered the lobster roll and my boyfriend a hamburger.. now those both seem to me like very easy items to prepare so it confused us both when after forty minutes our meals still hadn't arrived, and neither had our waitress who it seems, by all accounts completely abandoned us to our own devices.

We stopped another server who turned out to be the bar tender, and asked him if he could possibly find out what happened to our dinner and our server, ten minutes later he finally presented us with our food. Now, let me say this, our food was mediocre, the lobster roll had little taste and little mayonnaise, and i believe my boyfriends burger was cold. But by this time we were starving, so we ate our food and prepared to leave.  The only problem was we still had no waitress. Now it's not like she had completely left the building, she just stopped comming to our table.

We ended up talking to the bartender, who was the only other server that even walked by our table the whole night, we told him our complaint and he comped one of my boyfriends beers and checked us out.  Needless to say, we left, leaving absolutely no tip and completely disgusted with our whole experience.

Now this is one night when i believe we would have made a better choice if we had chosen to stay home.  Thbis is definately one restruraunt i would never recommend to any of my family or friends. And i have learned thet appearances can be deceiving.
