After having been introduced to Rusconi's several years ago, it had climbed to our #1 place to go. The food is always very good and the service has been absolutely outstanding. Which is why I'm disappointed enough to write this review. Last week we selected Rusconi's as the place to meet some friends we hadn't seen in a year. Shortly after being seated we got our drinks and menus. And then, less than 5 minutes later, the waiter was back to get our order. We told him we hadn't even looked at the menu and asked that he come back in a couple minutes. I reckon he was there in less than two. The orders were placed and delivered quickly. The food was great and we added a dessert. The check followed within minutes and as we sat, finishing drinks, about one hour and 20 minutes after sitting down, the Chef and owner came to our table. While he thanked us for coming, it was apparent to all of us that his real point of contact was to let us know it was time to leave, then said he had to get back to the kitchen. It was only our table he visited. The adjacent tables had been seated a bit after ours. Perhaps he stopped by theirs a little later. It was a hurried dinner, not a relaxing dining experience
