| - I am SO disappointed.
After having a craving for linguini and clams one day, my husband ordered this delicious dish from The Bistro to go. Needless to say, I was overly satisfied. The food was absolutely impeccable.
So, when my husband told me he had made reservations for Friday night, I was so excited. I reviewed the menu during work and could not WAIT for 7:30.
We arrived at about 7:20pm and the place was packed. I expected this as it was of course a Friday evening. My husband went inside to check in and when he came back outside (there was no room inside anywhere to wait which was fine) he told me that we were put on a list. I was confused because we had reservations. I just chalked it up to checking us in.
Thank goodness the night was brisk and not windy because we were outside for 30 minutes. Myself, husband, son, mother and best friend were all just waiting. No one was moving from their seats. Patrons were thoroughly enjoying their wine accompanied dishes.
We finally decided we needed to leave because we were starving. My husband went inside and let the hostess know. She was less than sympathetic and simply said, OK. Ok? What is the point in having a reservation, my husband asked. She responded that they set up reservations at hour and a half increments and there was nothing she could do.
With our stomachs eating themselves, we decided to go to Toto's instead, which was absolutely phenomenal.
I'm beyond disappointed because I truly would have loved to experience The Bistro at its fullest. Unfortunately, their fullest didn't include us.
