This was my second outing to FEZ. The location is great and so is the ambiance. I went on a Friday night and the place was dead. Not much going on at all. I do have to say it was First Friday so that might have played a role.
I decided to sit in the bar area. We were only stopping in for a drink and a quick bite. We were greeted by our waiter who looked as if he would so rather be somewhere else. Ok whatever, I worked as a waitress as well and it is the end of the night so I can understand. However, I have been here before on a Saturday morning and it was no different. The staff hung out chatting at the end of the bar acting like it is an inconvenience to wait on you.
The first time I ate at FEZ it was good. Definitely good enough to make me come back again. However, this time it was mediocre at best. I ordered the fondue on the bar menu. My friend seem to think it was great but she still eats frozen dinners as well. So won't be giving her opinion much weight.
In my travels I ended up telling this stranger what I thought of FEZ. He was very interested in my opinion as he knew the owner. The thing is he said that he has heard the same complaint from others.
The place has great potential. It is very trendy in regards to looks, great location, and the food is good. If they could only do something about the staff it would be an improvement and then I could give 4 stars.
