Review of Jan's on the Beach Restaurant

My friend and I brought our children to Jan’s because I am celiac. I have eaten here before with my children and my husband and had a great time. This last time was awful. I have to say I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life. Our server was awful. She made many passive aggressive comments to us about our smaller children. It was the worst way to end a great day. I mentioned to the server I was celiac as we were ordering she went yea yea yea. Rolled her eyes when I asked if something was safe and made me feel like I was silly for asking. We ended up asking for crayons and paper because the kids were antsy, they quieted down right away once they got them. The serve went to the table next to us and went would you like to sit outside because of the *signals to our table* That table went no it’s ok. Then asks again and that table moves outside. The served closed the door and then proceeds to point to us (not discreetly) and I can only assume say something about how unruley our children were. They weren’t. they stayed at the table but they are all aged 1-6 so we’re talking. So kids. It was a Wednesday so wine was half off, my friend and I split a bottle. The server as I was paying was said oh he’s quiet a handful (referring to the baby) who was silent once he got his food and said I would need to drink too to deal with that. It was I guess suppose to be a joke but it was very insulting. She didn’t come check on us and we did have to wait a long time to just pay our bill. It was very uncomfortable. There were more comments but those are the ones that stuck with me. Our servers name was Melissa. It was honestly the worst service I’ve ever had. We just wanted to have a nice dinner with our children. 2 moms doing their best and we both came out feeling like absolute garbage Food was good.
