| - Went on a Saturday night for a friends' birthday. Reservations were made for 7:30 for 9 ppl. 4 of us arrived first, our table was ready, except there's no host so we just had to flag someone down to tell them we had reservations....and they just pointed to the table and told us to sit. Took awhile to even get water...and when our glasses were being poured, they were in such a rush my friend got splashed on. When the rest of our party arrived, we sat around for 20 minutes before we finally decided we have to ask to get some menus. another 20 minutes later we flagged someone down to take our orders. (Later on, we over heard another waiter telling the table behind us the specials...and we realized we never got them..prob cuz we never asked for them?) Appetizers came at a reasonable rate. But at about 9pm we decided to asked someone to check on our orders...and they returned to tell us they are working on one more table's food before ours. Then we finally got our food at 9:30....5 minutes after the table behind us who was a party of about 6 ppl and came at 8:30. At least my pasta was hot, but on the menu it was linguine, and it came as spaghetti....and when i mentioned it, the server said the kitchen was too busy to tell the servers they ran out of linguine...but whatever, at that point i just wanted to be fed. My dish was average. My friend ordered the pasta with quail, it tasted bland and burnt. The veal was tough, but had a tasty sauce. The rack of lamb that the birthday girl ordered was good though...altho there was as much fat on the bone as there was meet. After everyone's food arrived, we asked for the bill right away while we were still eating because we weren't planning on staying there all night! It took them 20 minutes to take our credit card, and another 20 minutes to bring it back. After all that, we got a round of complementary shots, and a tiramisu for the bday girl......but to be honest, we wouldn't have accepted if it wasn't our friend's birthday. So overall, do not go on a busy night, the service is horrible and the food is mediocre. Broiler House and Pure Spirits were better, no doubt!
