I haven 't been to the Shift Kitchen Bar in a while. I love the seasonal menus. I requested two tasting of red wine and chose the Pinot Noir. We started with the duck taquitos as a starter which were yummy. Here 's where dinner took a turn. My bison short ribs arrived first. We sat for almost 10-minutes waiting on my friend 's entree. I had to flag down our waitress and inquire about the delay. The waitress noted that some entrees take a little longer. I agree but timing should be a part of the process. I worked in the fine dining industry for a stint and this was not acceptable. I waited. I then had to flag the waitress again. I asked her to take my plate and warm it up and to bring our entrees at the same time. I noted it was rude and discourteous to bring my entree out 10-minutes before and I had to sit there while my food got cold. So now, we were being ignored. Not just ignored, discriminated. All the other tables filled with Caucasians and being waited on by our waitress were getting more attention whereas I had to flag our waitress down. Another woman stepped in, a brunette, who was very gracious. I said Why didn 't we get her as our waitress? She took our dessert order. I wanted to try the butter cake. Very disappointing. My girlfriend had to ask for a knife to cut the cake because it was so hard. I was thinking we recieved a dessert that was old sitting in the back. It wasn 't just me. My girlfriend felt it too. I am a generous tipper and left less than 15%. It was very disheartening that in 2025 racism is still so prevalent. I 'm a business owner and a minority. I wish they could feel what we feel when this happens. Our entrees were delicious but the service left a bad taste in our mouth. Very disappointed with the Shift Kitchen Bar. Also, why is the Ahi Tuna $58? I can buy a pack of four from Sam 's Club for $20, throw some seasoning and sear at home. Ahi Tuna on any menu should be an appetizer and around $18. They are reaching on this menu item.
