| - Yummy food! Good/strange service... Odd music selections.
We sat on the patio, which was soooo nice. We hit it on an overcast day and really enjoyed some rare summer cool weather - lucky us!
I made reservations for the patio and they asked if we had dietary restrictions. When we arrived, they tried to seat us inside! They didn't have record of the patio request even though the lady confirmed it on the phone. But, they did have our dietary needs noted. The view was awesome and the surroundings are so nice. The food we ordered was great, but my friend ordered a salmon dish and I ordered a side of fingerling potatoes. They brought out my potatoes with a hunk of salmon resting on top! So weird!!! They apologized and took it back, presenting them both the way they should be. Well, I'm allergic to fish and I asked if they just brought back the potatoes that had the fish resting on them (they took it away instead of leaving it, so I assumed they just separated the two and re-presented them). They came back and said that they couldn't verify if that had been done (to me that means yes it had and that was embarrassing to admit). So, they re-did the potatoes. There was a woman in a suit helping us fix problems and seemed more of the upper level management sort.
This whole ordeal didn't sit well with our waitress who was not happy that we "tattled" on her about her messing up the order somehow, her taking the food away and having it re-prepared, etc. But what choice did we have? Two dishes were combined into one and I'm allergic to fish, so we needed to say something!
So, when it came time to order desserts, I asked the waitress if we could see a dessert menu. She goes, "All of the desserts were listed on the original menus I brought out to you!" As if we were supposed to have them memorized and pre-know if we wanted dessert or not! Really strange. I told her that I did not have her menu items memorized and if she could please bring out the menus again that would be most appreciated. Unreal to have to ask twice for a dessert menu, which she didn't even offer up. Even lower-end restaurants ask if you want dessert.
We ended up getting port instead of dessert and it was really good.
All of the food was AMAZING!!! Everyone was happy with their plates and everything I tasted was 100% delicious.
The only other caveat was the music selection on the patio. It went from classical to dance club to david bowie and back again to other types of music all over the place. All music I love, but somehow this randome mix on the patio with palm trees nearby just doesn't go. I think a little upbeat mediterranean mix would be perfect for that patio or even just the more ambient dance club stuff turned down low... Bad music choices can make or break the full dining experience.
Overall, four stars with a few little glitches! We had a great time and the service was outstanding mixed with not-so-great. We decided that they need to train their waitstaff across the board so there aren't problems like this for future patrons.
I will be returning though, and crossing my fingers that these minor details are fixed! :)
