      <![CDATA[They seriously need help - we were a party of 3, with reservations for 7:15, arrived about 10 minutes early, we had 2 bottles of champagne over the course of 2 hours waiting and waiting, ordered within 15 minutes of arriving and 40 minutes later were informed 2 of the 3 entrees were out.....after finally getting our 1st course... of which they forgot one of them, the easiest, the salad which had no blue cheese at all on it. So two of us reordered entrees and over an hour later they still had not been served, was told it would be 2 more minutes, I gave you 4 minutes and we up and left your establishment.

      <![CDATA[Agreeing with Anonymously Yours  I think all of the harsh responses to the reviews here are from owners, employees or their friends. They're all way too passionate, defensive and generally stupid to be explained in any other way.

      <![CDATA[To Being Fair: I've had stellar service at the Fat Goat (blonde, pigtails) and barely-attentive service where sending the food back wasn't really an option because the waitress was doing her side work for 15 minutes after delivering our food (I won't call anyone out on that one). If the management was a little more pro-active, these things could be headed off before they become a problem.

The pizza crust is some of the best in Richmond (and I'm a real pizza snob) and the sandwiches are tasty.

Everyone has expectations when they go out to eat, that is why we choose which restaurant to go to, based off of its reputation and our expectations from that reputation.
