| - I'm not a complainer, but this was literally the worst restaurant I've ever been to in my life.
The first problem was that the restaurant was severely understaffed. For a location so close to the convention center, it did not make sense for them to be unprepared for large crowds during the lunch hour. After my group of three placed orders, it took about 45 minutes for the food to arrive. For fine dining, this is perfectly acceptable, but it did not make sense for this kind of restaurant. (I should also mention that we were actually ahead of the lunch rush.)
I was patient enough that I did not mind the wait too much. The food, however, was rather horrifying. I ordered an appetizer that was supposed to be pita with three dips (spinach, pepper hummus, and something with seafood). They gave us about seven small pieces of pita and filled the rest with stale tortilla chips, and the seafood dip mysteriously never arrived.
The worst part--and I have never seen this before--was that 25% of my fish entree was literally burned to a pitch black crisp. If I had more time, I would have sent it straight back to the kitchen (and I never send anything back to the kitchen). But for all I know, I would have had to wait another 45 minutes.
On the way out, I knew the waiter would never get to our bill at the table, so I spent 10 minutes waiting in line to pay at the counter instead.
