| - Unfortunately, the food couldn't help the service that we received. Having lived in the area I knew my way around Las Sendas but had never eaten at The Patio - so I gave the restaurant a call while sitting in my car outside of Bogey's to ask for directions, my specific questions was, "Where are you in relation to Bogey's?". The sweet girl on the phone said she couldn't help me with that and she would need to get me a manager. The manager hopped on and I repeated my question - she told me they were right behind Bogey's, I just needed to walk down the path and I would see their door. (Your hostess should really have been able to answer that question...) Anyway, we arrived for our reservations at 5:30 and were quickly seated at a dirty table (when there were multiple, clean, set tables around us) and I asked if she could wipe the table down. The sweet girl (same one on the phone) said she would need to check if that was OK. Someone must have told her we could just sit at a clean table so we were settled in and ready to order. Our waiter arrived promptly and let us know we had 10 minutes left for happy hour (even though the menu and website stated it was supposed to go on for another hour) so we quickly ordered our drinks and munchies and said we would look at the menu to order our entrees. 45 minutes later we were finally able to flag our waiter down to place our meal order. :/ While we were eating we watched other tables around us receive bread/butter/have cloth napkins placed on their laps....basically receive the kind of service we expected from Las Sendas Patio. In the end, our server accidentally put in a drink order twice (so we received an extra cocktail but couldn't drink it since we were all driving), put the wrong cut of meat in for one of our dinners, and we had to flag our server down for spoons, for the check, and finally I just held the check/credit card over my head until a bus boy picked it up and brought it to him. We know our server can give great service as we saw him provide it to the regulars who were seated around us. We won't be back - even thought their food is ridiculously delicious and beautiful!
