Six Feet Under - Atlanta

A few of us went to Six Feet Under last Friday for our version of happy hour. Unfortunately for us this place was packed. Not at all the experience we had a few weeks ago. We were hoping for a seat on the rooftop patio, but it was full by 545, mostly due to a large group of drunk nursing school graduates (that you could hear downstairs by the way).

We only had to wait 15 minutes or so for a table and the service was fine until it came time to get the check. Oh, and the bathrooms were out of order for a period of time. Luckily the cleaners next door allowed patrons to use their ONE bathroom, but the restaurants bathroom was fixed before we left. Although it still stunk.

I ordered combo tacos again. Unfortunately they were not as good as the last time. They certainly did not disappoint, but i did not feel as if the fish and shrimp were seasoned as well. However, the rat tails were more crisp, and i thought better than the last time. The fried green tomatoes were consistent and just as good as they were the last time we ordered them. We also tried the buffalo oysters, which are nothing compared to the ones at Redfish in New Orleans, but i did not think they would be.

By the way they also have a great Blueberry Lemonade, an alcoholic version, from the bar.

As far as the service, i still do not understand why some waiters cannot see that a group of 6 people is typically going to need at least 3 separate checks if not more. Why are they surprised when they get 5 credit cards, and wouldn't be easier to split the check in the 1st place? It seems to me the tip would be better, because each person would be tipping separately and everyone would now their exact amount... therefore no one would shortchange the tip or the price. Our waiter was fine and on his way to a good tip before he mishandled the check.

first he messed up one of the cards and had to get the manager to void it. Then, he did not apply the coupons they had given us for the bathroom being out of order. When we asked for them back to use them on our next visits, he acted like that was out of the question. Then he did not seem to understand the concept of splitting the check among the 5 tabs. Wouldn't it have been easier to do this in the beginning? Clearly unless the party is one family, a table of six is going to have separate checks.
