Stormy's - Shelton

I visited for lunch and ordered a bowl of barley soup, which was served by a disinterested waitress who seemed distracted by her side job. Unfortunately, the soup was worse than any I've had at Panera, and it was pricier too. The restaurant had a nice layout, so it could be a fun spot to enjoy drinks.

Exercise caution if you decide to order a draft beer here; I was charged more than expected and when I brought it up to manager Christi, she disregarded my concern. Additionally, if you're coming for Happy Hour, make sure to specify that you want the Happy Hour prices for the food options, or you will be billed at full price. I gave it two stars because the food was decent at least.

The restaurant was empty, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but to my surprise, the food was really delicious. During my visit, I also noticed that they had a few games available for patrons to enjoy.

Normally a great place to be, but was the worst place to be on Memorial Day weekend. Came in on Monday with my buddy and his date and was given pretty great service at the beginning of our time here. However, our good time was pretty short lived whenthe second shift bartender came in and gave the worst service humanly possible. I do not know her name, but I remember herwearing a white tennis hat with a pink shirt (or something of that nature). Whoever she was, she was everything but nice and shestraight up bullied my friend?s date. She had us waiting over 45 minutes just for green tea shots and waters (which we nevereven got to put in). I purposely held my debit card out multiple times, tried waving her down and even (at one point) triedtelling one of the other guys ordering drinks to place an order for us. Needless to say, we were never served. After multiplefailed attempts at obtaining service, I grabbed my girlfriend and headed elsewhere for a drink. My buddy, however, stayed behindand decided to try his luck a couple more times. With no luck, he then decided to close out his tab and that ultimately led tomayhem. The woman had him wait an additional 20 minutes to close, made his date cry and then continued to yell at him andeveryone surrounding him at the bar. While trying to close, my buddy mentioned that he was waiting a while to close out. Shortlyafter he said this, she threw my buddy?s receipt clean at his face and attempted to hold his debit card to further prevent himfrom leaving. She then started yelling at people surrounding my friend. This led to very loud and uncomfortable questioning ofher service. She went up and down the bar basically asking people to survey her service. Long story short: the second shiftbartender was the rudest person I?ve ever met in my life, clearly not very good at her job and has a serious attitude problem. Acouple of my buddy?s are regulars here, but that won?t be for too much longer.

Our waitress Lilly was incredible, and the manager, Kriste, was equally impressive. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Both of them were very personable and truly exceptional individuals. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant—100%! Thanks to them, we've found a new regular spot!
