| - Oh, if only the service had been better!
The food was absolutely outstanding. I'm salivating just thinking about the prime rib, mashed potatoes, pork loin, mac & cheese and pasta. The dessert station was absolute heaven: gelato in a rainbow of flavors, dozens of tarts and pastries and a stellar selection of chocolates and berries. I thought I could easily pass out, I was so full by the end of the meal.
However, next to where we sat stretched a long, raised banquet-style table. It was dirty and empty for our ENTIRE MEAL. Well over an hour! Dirty cups, plates, silverware, half-empty bottles... All just sitting there, staring at us. No one came to bus it. No one came to clear it. They just left it there.
Superb food on our plates. Delicate crystal chandeliers hanging overhead. Enthusiastic staff in the kitchens and at the buffets.
And trash staring at us as we ate.
I'm sorry, but I expect a bit more pride-of-place in a restaurant that's going to charge me $50 for a meal.
