This is specifically reviewed for Siletz Bay Cafe – who's mission statement should read something like this:
"Siletz Bay Cafe: come for the food, stay for the disappointment. Expect terrible service, *false menu promises, bad math, and a manager whose attitude could give Gordon Ramsay a complex."
What used to be a buffet still runs like one — complete with below-subpar buffet-style service, just minus the actual buffet.
This was the single worst dining experience five of us have ever encountered. From painfully slow service and missing food to a bill full of errors, the entire experience was a masterclass in how not to run a restaurant.
Once the order finally arrived, we were missing one of the four. We brought it to their attention, then we waited...and waited, and waited some more. Getting up to inquire about the missing order, it is brought to the table (after the meal was mostly finished) and then the bill came.
When we were handed the bill, we were told we’d been erroneously charged for three items instead of two. The bill had supposedly been corrected — they added a “payment” for the extra item — and while the subtotal looked accurate, the grand total still included the overcharge. When the manager finally arrived to address the issues, she came in full-blown attitude mode, offering more questions than answers and managing to take absolutely zero accountability.
*false menu promises: their “grilled cheesy cornbread toast” was grilled, vaguely cheesy, and absolutely not cornbread — just toast wearing the faint memory of cheese from the bottom of some frying pan.
