| - I have been to Le Select twice now, and the first time was good. The second time, a couple of days ago, wasn't. My boyfriend and I arrived around four o'clock on a Friday. We ordered wine, and two sizable appetizers to split as a light dinner. The appetizers were the cheese plate (three varieties of cheeses) and the meat plate (many different kinds of meats with two patés, or spreads). The cheese plate came with a handful of crackers, definitely not enough for the cheese they came with. The meat platter came with nothing and I was left wondering what the paté was meant to be spread over. The cheeses and meats themselves, however, are delicious.
More to the point, though, was the terrible service. Our waiter took our drink orders, delivered the wine, and proceeded to blatantly ignore us for the rest of the time we were there in favour of a couple immediately next to us. At one point, he stood at this other table, discussing wines with the other couple, with his back to us, for literally fifteen minutes. We asked him for some crackers and he never brought them, nor did he refill our wine glasses. He actually just ignored us.
How is this at all acceptable at a supposedly "fine dining" establishment?
