| - I ate dinner here for a friend's birthday, and it was the worst dinner I've had in recent memory.
First off, despite the 18.5% mandatory gratuity, service wasn't particularly attentive once we ordered our food. If we wanted something like more water or extra napkins, it took an extra 5 to 10 minutes to get our waiter's attention. If I'm paying an extra 18.5% for service, I'm expecting top notch service.
Second, I ordered the zucchini spaghetti ($16), which infuriated me with the shockingly poor quality of the dish. Now, for something called the zucchini spaghetti, I was expecting zucchini and spaghetti. Reasonable, right? Apparently, zucchini spaghetti really means 'shaved zucchini'. The whole dish was literally just strings of zucchini with capers. On top of that, the portion size was absurdly tiny, even tinier than most appetizers I've had at high class restaurants. Now I understand that the Yorkville location means that your dollar is unlikely to stretch very far, but the portion size was truly ridiculous. And since it didn't even taste very good (very sour, no actual spaghetti), this felt like insult heaped on injury.
In short, MoRoCo is a tourist trap of a restaurant with anemic service and expensive, sub-par food.
