Went to Petey’s Upper Deck on Saturday 12/26 and again last night, 12/30, for pizza and beer. The food was great. The price is fine. Unfortunately I won’t be going back.
On 12/26 I sat in the back corner of the restaurant by the bar...and was actually able to socially distance from other customers. Otherwise I would not have stayed. I wore a mask when entering and leaving and felt fairly safe. I did observe a gentleman who was a bar back that simply would not wear a mask. All other staff were, but not this guy. He had one under his chin the entire hour I was there, but never put it over his face. Back and forth, up and down that bar, but never wore his mask. The two bartenders did, but not this guy. Apparently no one working with him cared, and it’s disappointing management didn’t observe and or correct this.
My wife and I went back last night and sat at a table, which was distanced appropriately. Unfortunately, very shortly after we were seated, a large group next to us left and they split the two tables being used for the large party apart, which eliminated any semblance of distancing. Many of the servers wore masks, but we observed many of them removing their masks and kneeling next to customers to take their orders. Clearly the masks are for show.
Upon finishing dinner and wanting to use the restroom prior to leaving, I waited as the single use restroom was occupied. When the door opened, it was the same bar back from the previous night that was leaving the restroom. (He was working behind the bar again last night.) When he left the restroom and I went to enter, I noticed he was not wearing his mask. As he walked out the restroom door, he blew a last puff of smoke. Clearly he took a smoke/urine break at the same time.
I went into the restroom annoyed that this person wasn’t wearing a mask, and that he had the audacity to go into a single use restroom and smoke while doing his duty. He left his cigarette butt in the toilet that was filled with his urine that he didn’t flush. One can only assume he didn’t wash his hands if he won’t even flush the toilet.
My word... How can a food service worker have such disregard for simple hygiene and safety? Clearly this guy, and this restaurant, have no control nor concerns for hygiene, covid, and the health and safety of its customers. Gross, gross, and gross.
All of this is a shame since the pizza was great, the music was decent, and the location is fantastic. But unquestionably, I will never go back here due to health and safety concerns.More
