| - mmm hmmm. Been four more times. Four. That was because we liked it so much the first time. I hesitated giving it three stars since the last three visits have been less than stellar.
For our most recent visit, I forgive them the kitchen staff coming out and serving during restaurant week. Well, kind of. But it was the lovely's birthday. Service was ridic - our server asked twice - once taking the order then coming back out of the kitchen and asking again - how he wanted his steak cooked, presumably because the kitchen doesn't like cooking it med/well. Which I get but too bad - he's the customer, and thats what he wants. Sheesh and then by all means give him the stink eye because we love that!
My usually perfect Maui Crunch salad arrived drenched in dressing. Couldn't finish it. Server brought over the mini desserts and went into her schpiel without asking if we actually wanted dessert. When we informed her that we didn't, you'd have thought we just abducted her cat. Seriously? And the cherry on topa that little sundae?? Four times at least while we're drinking coffee she asks if we want anything else. By try number four, she doesn't have to ask us to leave, we want to.
Unfortunately, we've had similarly poor service mostly. The food, wine, atmostphere and overall experience are, as a general rule really good. But as we went for a birthday and an anniversary, we wanted a consistently good experience all around and we just haven't gotten it. We'd be going this weekend but we're just not interested in being disappointed.
