The location is cursed. The Sports Garage before it also had terrible service. Kind of odd since you can see the entire place from every seat in the house.
I don't know if it's cursed, but the previous restaurants there did perform poorly.
When it was in its first incarnation as the Ravine, we went with a couple, and were ignored as the staff chatted, except for the busser who came to collect the place settings, as the kitchen was closed. No one came to offer a drink. We left.
When it was Abs Bar, the bartenders were good, but not much else.
When another couple, I think John and Gita, had it. Food was good, people were great, but I don't think the neighborhood supported it.
John G and I went to the Sports Garage when it first opened. I think we were the only ones there for lunch, and it took half an hour to get our ill-prepared food.
I truly hope the Tap House makes it. The atmosphere is great, food good, people friendly, and it's the perfect type of place for the area; family friendly and not too expensive.
Maybe we'll do a myfolsom Monday Night Football event there. Interested?
