It took 2 hours to get our food and my order was entirely incorrect. So I had to scrape off what I could eat (I have Celiac) and request some vegetables to go with the piece of salmon I scraped off what was brought to me. As other diners came and went, they were all served, ate and left over and over again while we still waited for our food to come. I do need to say, however, that our server Creed was very good and doing his best but the night was not a good experience. We addressed the issue to the manager and all he did was make excuses and took no accountability. We will not be back for a good long time, if at all.

I've always made it at home but this time we decided to try Teca for our holiday dinner. We're glad we did. The place was busy when we arrived for our 6:00 reservation for four, looked full. Our server, Thomas, was busy, too, but very personable, pleasant, and attentive. The food was very good, better than expected on a night like this. Bravo Teca, good job.

One of the servers spilled some beer in my dinner without even apologizing. Ate it any way. Didn’t even wipe ofc the table. Overall I love teca but not for a holiday. Sorry

We appreciate you choosing to spend it with us and I am truly disappointed that we missed the mark. Please email me directly if you wouldn't mind so that I can look into this, I was not aware of this incident whatsoever. I appreciate your candid review and thank you for reaching out. I hope to hear from you directly and to have another opportunity to redeem ourselves for this mishap. Best, Steve Stein General Manager steves at tecanewtownsquare.com
