Worst service in town!

by Swimmas at Citysearch

We were so excited when Espo's opened up on Allen Ave; we had been frequent diners of their location on Congress Street which we couldn't say enough wonderful things about. However these restaurants have very little in common! The service on Allen Ave is among the worst I have ever received.

The waitresses are known to snap at you, talk about you so you can hear them, hang around the cash register and ignore their tables... well you get the picture. All of the couples we frequently dine with won't go near the place for that same reason. Money is too tight to go out and feel as though you've been abused at dinner. We live in the area and have noticed that the parking lot on a Saturday night has no more than 4 cars in it; I guess we aren't the only ones to choose to be treated better than they offer.

• Pros: Local neighborhood restaurant
• Cons: Poor service, quality if the meals declining while price is rising
