Lazlo's Brewery & Grill - South

We’ve always had good service at Lazlo’s but that changed Friday night. We arrived shortly before 10:00 PM and the restaurant closes at 10:30. The manager/hostess was extremely friendly while seating us. We had a nice conversation about their gluten free menu as one of the members of our party has an extreme gluten allergy. The server came over, took our drink orders and asked if we were ready to order. to get our orders. We said we weren’t quite ready. She said “well the kitchen closes in 5 minutes but I’ll give you a couple more minutes.” She was very matter of fact and not friendly in the way she said it. She came back fairly quickly and we ordered. The food came out pretty quick. The gentleman that brought the food was very friendly and was joking around with us. We ate our food in a timely manner. The server brought our checks and cleared the table. We put our cards in the card holder almost immediately. She came back, ran our checks and brought the receipts back to sign. We all signed and she was right there almost immediately to pick up the signed copies at which time she pretty aggressively said “we are closing now so.” We hadn’t planned on staying and visiting anyway but felt like we had to immediately leave. The manager/host didn’t say anything about needing to hurry when she seated us. It really felt like the server just wanted to be done with us so she could leave. I get it was late but she was so aggressive about how she presented that the kitchen and restaurant were closing. She of course waited to tell us to leave until after we had signed our checks and tipped her. I looked at my watch when we left and it was 10:35. We will be back as we enjoy the food and the service is typical friendly. Maybe she was having a bad night but not the way to treat guests.

Great gluten free Rueben sandwich and wild rice. Loved aperol spritzer.
