Devil's Den Disgrace

Okay, maybe disgrace is a bit harsh. When Devil's Den opened last year, I was excited to have a new pub with a great beer selection in the area. I went a few times, and while the food was nothing special for a place with gastropub aspirations, the beer selection made up for it. But the past couple of times I've been there, it's been overcrowded with horrible service. On one particular night, there was no hostess. I walked towards the dining room where I was greeted by one particularly obnoxious server who I had seen before. He stared at me without saying anything, so I said we wanted a table for two. His one word response: "Okay." So I said, "Is there a long wait?" and he responded again with one word: "Yes." We stared at each other for awhile, until I realized he had no interest in taking our names down or even talking to us and left the place.

So maybe it was just the one server. I'm not opposed to giving the place one more shot, but for now I'm going to give Devil's Den the White Thumb of Disgrace.
