| - I've been to Joseph Tambellini's restaurant twice - last winter and last week. My initial experience was great. My friend and i went, had great food (although I don't remember what I got) and the staff was great, etc.
However, this past experience - was frustrating to say the least. I went with 2 other ladies for one of their birthdays. Please note - my frustrations have NOTHING to do with the food. It was amazing - the problem was the staff who took care of us.
First problem - 1 of the ladies asked for butter for the bread brought to the table. No biggie - you would think. However it took 4 times of asking to get the butter - after our entree's came.
Second problem - honestly this was our big problem. Our waitress was in such a rush to get us out of there. The ladies were still drinking their coffee - she took their cups. She brought the bill, and we had it between 2 of us - away from her because 2 of us were paying together getting money situation - she reach in front of my face - as in her clothes were brushing my face - to grab it. WE WERE NOT READY. Then - the thing that frustrated me and I found disrespectful - she took the bill, and started counting our tip before we left - in front of us. We aren't shabby tippers - but really. Have a little class. She was a disorganized mess. Honestly, I will not forget her name and will probably ask to NOT be seated at her table if I go back. Just for the record - we were not taking our time. We had reservations at 6:15p and were out by 8p, but we had gifts for the birthday gal and they would have loved to have enjoyed their coffee. The gifts went unopened and the coffee disappeared before they drank half the cup.
Third problem - I understand that this is in a house, so room is tight. I completely LOVE this set up. However, we were seated beside the bar, almost next to the main doorway near the bathrooms. We could barely move or hear each other because the wait staff was clanking bowls and trays around. One point they put a tray on a stand behind one of the other ladies so that if she backed up, she would have knocked a whole tray of entree's over.
The whole atmosphere at Tambellini's is interesting - sometimes bizarre - at least what I experienced on a Friday night. However, the food was superb. My mafalda Caprese was to die for. I was so upset the next morning when I realized I didn't put the leftovers in the fridge. Everyone truly enjoyed their food, other than feeling rushed.
