He was one of the few people in the spot who understood the concept of "service." I like The Rickshaw. I like the wings and burritos, I like the balcony, I like the wireless, the music, and (generally) the atmosphere. I like Kris and Chad. But the service is chronically poor. Wrong orders, staff screaming up and down the stairs, forgotten cutlery and napkins... this has been and is the biggest problem. Tonight, I waited for 15 minutes for someone to notice I had arrived and had neither drink nor food - and this while someone in management sat ten feet away. But, The Rickshaw works on so many other levels, I can live with it... Cheers, Boyce d,
