Caleb's American Kitchen - Lahaska

First time there will not be my last Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Sometimes a server can make a dining experience special, and Mary is that kind of person. She is warm and friendly and very helpful but not intrusive. This was my first visit to Caleb's, but I will be back soon. Love the light, airy feel of the interior because of the floor to ceiling windows all around. And the food is very good, too. I'm a breakfast guy, so I was more than impressed with their Breakfast Sandwich (see photo). It includes TWO eggs, cheese, and chicken apple sausage (my choice) on a fresh Brioche. Yum! And: very important the coffee is excellent. Mary kept my cup filled.

One of our favs! Always great food and wonderful service ! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Recommended dishes: Ice Cream Sandwich

Calebs is a favorite place of mine to bring friends to for lunch. The last three times I have been very disappointed and embarassed that I spoke so eloquently about the place ...the hostess has been surly all three times. She does not smile or say hello as to greet you, in fact she ignores you until she is ready to talk ... often a few minutes. Today (October 19th 2023) all she said is reservations? When we said no...she said how many? I said two thank you. She she turned and took some menus and walked...we guessed we were meant to follow her. Our wait staff (Linda) was also stressed and surly. Today a friend saw us across the room and came to say hello at our table and the waitress came over and pushed her way in front of them to our table just to fill the water glasses which could have been done in a few minutes after they left. We asked the server if she was ok because she obviously wasn 't and she said...long story. The problem she later said is that they are short staffed ....only in my opinion they should not be sharing that info with us...they should try and give us the best customer service experience that as a returning customer deserves. I have been there at least 9 times since July. We came to have a nice lunch and the atmosphere was dicey because of the staff... It wasn 't fun because we were acutely aware of the wait staff 's disposition...and the rude way she spoke to customers. It wasn 't friendly The table next to us was seated after us but at least 20 minutes before noon and they wanted breakfast...which is served until noon. She said, when they ordered pancakes...no breakfast orders...they said well we wanted breakfast...and with out saying anything walked away ...and then came back and said fine they will do it for you. She could have said...just a minute please let me go see if they can take one more breakfast order...I willbe right back....but she didn 't ...she made it their problem...and was rude. She also got my friends order wrong because she was rushing... Anyway my friend was sorely disappointed in the treatment of the customers and I doubt she will come back on her own...but I think you should know this is not a one off...this has now happened to me three times...so I might not come back again...my friend gave a 20 dollar tip to cheer up the waitress...but I am not of that mind set...it was within her power to be a kind waitress....and give us a good experience and she didn 't . Not at all.
