| - I'd give this place a higher rating, but I have to say that my waiter was probably the biggest douchebag ever who had no serving nor social skills, plus a lack education of the food he was serving that ruined it for me.
anyway, so i went here with one of my colleagues just because i felt like italian and i definitely wanted to try a mario batali restaurant. so we walk in and everything is cool, the hostess was super nice and we were seated promptly.
so douchebag takes over and he's ok and all at first but for some reason i get this look from him like he thinks i don't know anything and he's real nice to my male colleague like "i'm going to kiss your ass because you're going to be tipping me" kinda thing. little does he know that i'm the one footing the bill and he's treating me like i'm the ditzy little date....asshole.
as for the food, we started off with a wonderful caprese salad with fresh imported bufala mozzarella from italy. man, that stuff was good. very silky and creamy texture. it was light, but it was so rich at the same time. it was amazing.
for the second course i had the spaghettini with roasted garlic and lobster. the pasta was perfectly al dente and they certainly did not skimp on the lobster! it was a whole pound of it on my plate! i love lobster. lobster is my friend!
anyway, back to douchebag...so as we were eating, he seemed to be gravitating more towards my colleague than me which is not cool. he would give me these looks and while i was trying to be polite, the bitch in me started becoming more apparent. my colleague was like..."i actually think he likes you and is just giving you a hard time on purpose..." well, giving me condescending looks and comments isn't quite the great way to subtly hit on me...
so we decide to skip dessert and douchebag acts like we're making the biggest mistake of our lives. i'm sure the desserts are awesome, but whatever.
and then the bill comes. douchebag hands it over to my colleague who then hands it over to me. i look at douchebag and say to him right as i get the bill..."someone should have been a little nicer and more knowledgeable..." and then he starts to kiss my ass. too late. small tip for you. i hope mario sticks a croc up your ass if he ever reads this review....let's see, the server's name was Mike M.
