I am a tenent in the same building, and I used to order take out about once or twice a week until I couldn't take it any more. I would order a salad, or soup, or both (usually) and they would say "15 minutes." I would go downstairs in 15 minutes, and THAT was when they put the order IN!! I usually waited up to 10 minutes ONCE I GOT THERE, for the food. FInally, one day, I left a note on the reception desk, saying that I was going elsewhere. I stopped going back, until a couple of months ago, I decided to call down and try it again. That time, I even called back 15 minutes later and asked if it was ready and was assure that it was at the door. When I went downstairs, I waited a full 5 minutes before walkingout the door AGAIN. I am a BBRG preferred guest, and they hardly EVER got the credits into the computer. I used to have an office on Commercial Wharf, and frequented that restaurant. It was a whole lot better. Hope they wake up, and I hope a more responsive and customer-friendly establishment moves into their old space!

Anyone who has worked on the Waterfront over the last few years knows that the real reason for the closing of the Coldwell Banker Waterfront office is the terrible lack of management. The person that was in charge of the office was horrific. He spent more time in local watering holes than doing anything at all regarding that office. The upper mgmt. in Coldwell should be embarrassed for not seeing this man running that office into closure. For a company like that to have such a big, visable office (last in sales on the waterfront with 3x the agents) close down is embarassing. I have never seen such a failure go unoticed for so long in such a large corporation. Very sad and pathetic!!! This is not as it would appear.
