My partner and I went to Bretton Woods to celebrate!
On our special day, Myles (?) was a fantastic waiter, going above and beyond with his phenomenal service, even refilling my water without me noticing! And of course who can forget the special complimentary surprise, they made sure our experience was beyond extraordinary and made it memorable for life.
Unfortunately our experience did not start that well. The day before, we were greeted with a bartender at the front seating area, where he was definitely attentive for the first 3 minutes when he asked for what we wanted to drink and I said I needed more time. In the next 8 minutes, we waited for him to come by to even raising my hands to catch his attention when he was clearly available but did not come by. Then a family of 4 came, to whom he came and served immediately. He then took their orders, went back to the bar to make each of the 4 drinks, and came back to serve, all the while my arm was raised to get his attention. After 10 to 15 minutes of foolishly raising my arm, I wanted to walk out. Why was I wasting my time with this guy who was clearly ignoring me. But to clear any confusions, I went up and asked him to be served, to which he said "I came by earlier and you didn't know what to drink". Despite being taken aback with the attitude, I retorted "yeah, that was 10 or 15 minutes ago". And of course because he had to, god forbid, do his job, came by. And said "what do you want". Forget basic manners, his attitude made it feel as if I was trying to de-escalate the tension despite just wanting a nice steak dinner! And of course, he came by promptly requesting to clear my plate when there was clearly plenty of food left.
I don't know if I was racially profiled, but I held it together to not ruin some special moments just because of one ridiculously rude bartender.
Regardless, Myles more than made up for it.
Thank you Myles, you were a trooper for saving our vibes :)
The place itself has great vibes, great food, and great portions! I strongly recommend the location, especially if you're staying at the hotel!
