| - I've never had such terrible service. When I spend more than $100 on dinner for two people, I expect the servers to at least be polite. Went on a Friday night, but there was no hostess on duty. After waiting a bit at the hostess stand, we gave up and walked into the dining area where we were pointed to a table. This was an issue all night with people wandering through the crowded tables looking for somewhere to sit and standing over diners waiting for them to get up. We placed our drink order (bottles of wine starting at $40), and then we waited. And waited. Finally someone walked by and put the bottle on our table - unopened - and kept walking. 10 minutes later a different server came by and asked if we wanted the bottle open (ummmm...yeah!). While he was opening it, the first guy came by and started fussing at him because he "was planning on coming back for it." They walked off bickering - and without taking our order. After 20 minutes, we considered just leaving money on the table for the wine and going someplace else. It wasn't that the servers were too busy, the ratio of servers to tables looked fine. And I could them wandering around at the bar not actually doing anything. Everytime one walked past our table he turned his head and avoided eye contact. Finally, we were able to wave someone down when he told us that we weren't really his table, but fine, he would take our order. Scowling the entire time. We got a calamari appetizer, a ceaser salad, chicken parmesan and chicken marsala. The food was good. But by the time we got it, we had finished our bottle of wine and weren't offered anyting else to drink. Nobody came by to check to see if the food was ok. So while the food and decor was good, I marked it down for being overpriced and terrible service. I won't be going back.
