| - I rarely write a negative review, but my experience at the Mediterranean-themed Zdara has forced me to be less than kind.
How do I begin; this evening, I attended a get-together with friends at Zdara. My good friends Allison and Robert were having a double celebration; her birthday, and their recent news that they were due to be parents. This should have been a joyous, enjoyable, relaxing time...
Should have been...
Firstly, it seemed that the wait-staff have too much experience in the "wait" part of their job. It took our party of ten a while to get drinks, and even then, the waiter seemed confused by our requests of "diet soda, no ice" or the like. They almost seemed a bit nervous all around, which was odd, because as far as I knew, my friends and I were not dressed like either Vikings or the Manson family.
After a friend of mine ordered a mixed drink and didn't see the waiter (another waiter, mind you, from the first one) for nearly 20 minutes, I got up and went to the bar and asked for his drink FOR him. The bartender was flabbergasted and then handed me a drink quickly, a drink he had no idea had been ordered, which I then walked back to my friend.
After that, it was more waiting. Now, I know you might be thinking I'm being overly dramatic, but as we ordered, then waited for, firstly, the appetizer plates, which, I think from the order time took nearly 35 minutes to get to us, and then the final entrees arrived, it was nearly an hour and ten minutes. Two couples right next to our group were seated, fed, and left in that time. I thought our section might be trapped in food-limbo.
On the subject of the food, it was, in my humble opinion, just "okay". My friends' cheese plate was...not Mediterranean. However, it was some tasty sage and purple Darby with candied walnuts and frozen (and I mean frozen) grapes.
I had gotten the "Cajun chicken kabobs" which were okay, but remember folks, searing something till its edges are crispy and black does not a "cajun" anything make. Other folks had things like the salmon or the lamb chops, which they enjoyed, but overall, the atmosphere made it hard to enjoy food we'd waited so long for.
My opinion overall? They really need to re-asses their structure in this place and perhaps get the wait staff up to speed, other wise they all might be waiting for customers to show up...and they'll we waiting a LONG TIME for that.
