| rev:text | 	The ambience, views, food and wine were all outstanding at Luca.  All four of us said it was one of the best dinners we have had in recent years at a restaurant.  My husband had the Veal, I had the Lamb, both were off the charts!  Our guests had the Lobster, it was huge and cooked/seasoned to perfection.
Our service started out great, bout our dinner guests noticed that our server wanted to rush the dining experience.  We ordered our drinks/wine right away and pondered the menu and chatted for a few minutes.  We ordered antipasti, we chose the Calamari and the Tuna Carpaccio, both were amazing.  While ordering the antipasti our server wanted us to order dinner, we declined as we were not ready and felt rushed.  He came back a few minutes later and asked again if we were ready to order dinner, when I replied 'No' he actually snared, we all looked at each other in disbelief.  He came back a few minutes later and stood at the table glaring at us, we assumed we should order or there would be serious consequences.  Let me be clear, we were not being high maintenance nor taking an inordinate amount of time, we just didn't want to be rushed and he clearly didn't like that we were giving him pushback. The rest of the time he was very cold towards us, would not refill wine, take away dishes, etc.  As it became closer to tip time the personality changed back to the same nice guy who welcomed us at the beginning.  I have not mentioned the servers name here to save him embarrassment.
I will recommend this restaurant to colleagues, family and friends but will caution them about our service experience. |
