A large group of us came here for my brother's new job celebratory dinner. Although everything was good, the maître d's manners left a lot to be desired. Two people from our group were running late (no more than 15 minutes late), and although I understand the need to turn tables quickly, we weren't just sitting there occupying the table for no reason. We had already ordered wine and tried to order appetizers and salads for the table, but was told that we had to place our entire order at once. During these 15 minutes, our waiter handled the situation well, but the maître d' glared at us more than once and hissed at our waiter to tell us that "they only have two hours, then they're out"... Well within hearing distance from us. So rude; completely unnecessary and inappropriate behavior!
(Also note that we were done with dinner before the two hours were up.)
There are so many good (and better) Italian restaurants in the city with better service... Not sure who hired that maître d', but he could use a refresher course in how to do his job properly.
