| - I eat out once a week, and when I do, I bring more meals home with me to eat at a later time, I'm a widower, and cooking for one is no fun!
I ate there last night, and for me, it was a Jekyll & Hyde experience. I ate there four weeks ago and it was a wonderful experience. I had Emily as a server, I asked for a couple of substitutions on the three meals I ordered and she was very accommodating and very friendly. She even, without my asking, gave me quite a bit of their wonderful pizza bread to bring home. The bread is a real treat.
Last night, however, Emily wasn't working and my server was an older fellow who paid very little attention to me. I constantly needed to ask for refills on my Iced Tea. Unlike Emily who was always watching my table and at least three times during my meal, she asked if everything was OK. No such luck last night.
To top everything off, one of the substitutions I requested was for meat sauce instead of marinara sauce on the ravioli dish I took home. The server said OK and I thought it was. But, when my bill came, I was charged $3.50 for a side of Bolognese sauce. When I asked what that was for, the server told me that meat sauce was more expensive than marinara and that was what the charge was for. I was floored - Emily didn't do that I said. But he insisted. I told him, that if there was an upcharge he should have told me up front. I left an angry man, and the tip reflected that.
When I got home, while putting my two extra meals away, they felt lighter to me. I opened the containers, and sure enough the portions were about 60% of the size they were on my first visit.
I am really confused about the difference. But, Vivala Emily!!!!!!!
