| - I purchased a Groupon that gave me $30 worth of entrees, but I had to order at least three entrees to use it. I've heard great things, so decided to book a reservation to celebrate my birthday.
We had a Sunday night reservation at 8:00 p.m.. We arrived promptly at 8:00, and the restaurant was hopping. We had to wait 10-15 minutes to be seated...not a problem.
First, let me start by saying the the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous inside. It has a bit of a Grecian feel, with an upstairs bar, and a dramatic sweeping staircase. There are beautiful chandeliers and horse sculptures.
We were seated at a lovely booth, and I was excited to try the wonderful food that I've heard and read about. We were immediately greeted and served homemade pita bread with butter, onion, and basil. The problem was that we had no silverware and no plates. Our server did not explain how to eat the appetizer that he brought, so I asked . I ordered a glass of Malbec, and made do without silverware or a plate, spreading the butter using the little plastic container that it came in.
At least 10 minutes passed before the server showed up at our table without my wine. He asked if we were ready to order without asking if there were questions or offering recommendations. I inquired about my wine, and he said it was coming. I honestly believe he forgot about it.
We ordered the Barg, which is skewered tenderloin,the chicken Koobideh, which has skewered chicken, and minced chicken mixed with onions and spices , and the shrimp and scallop dish served with Basmati rice. I have to say that the food was amazing and we had wonderful leftovers for the next day.
The restaurant was obviously understaffed, and the servers and bussers were overworked. My server had a lot of tables, and his service suffered because of it.
I landed on a 4 star rating because the food is a 5, and the service we received was a 2 or 3 star at best. I shouldn't have to ask for silverware, which didn't come until after our entrees were delivered . I shouldn't have to wait almost 20 minutes to get a glass of wine when there is a service bar downstairs for the servers.
Our bill came to $92 with tip on top of the Groupon. It would have been worth it if the service had been on par.
I will give the Persian Room another chance because I loved the ambiance and the food. I hope that they will staff a little better to accommodate the amount of business that they have.
