Solid Food - Poor Service
I've been to Teatro four times over the last three years, and have been consistently disappointed. Food at times excels, although too many dishes lack flavours and/or presentation to get overly excited about. Overall though, I'd rate the food at 4/5. There are better places to go in the city given the pricing at Teatro, with very healthy markups on wines taking away from the experience for those that enjoy wine with their meals.
The biggest issue we have is the service - the experience for my wife and I has been that it is repeatedly one of the worst places in the city for service. I've been through an entire dinner pouring my own $200 bottle of wine, with empty water glasses sitting there. To be fair, we did see the head waiter give our waiter a lecture while pointing at our table. Our last visit in May 2018 was for lunch, we sat for close to 20 minutes before being able to order drinks. The "express" lunch took 1 hour and 40 minutes by the time we were able to pay (waiting 20 minutes after requesting the bill). Unfortunately, this has been similar to our other visits - and we give up. Sorry Teatro, but four chances is more than enough. If I was in the kitchen I'd have a few words for the servers if I was staring out at tables with empty water glasses or dishes sitting for ages after the entire table had finished eating.
