I so would have rated Sarita 5 stars. But then I went back a second time.
So, my first visit was for girls night on a Thursday. It was extremely dead so we were well tended to. Thursday nights you can get wine for 40% off the bottle - that perk is fabulous.
We split some fries and a Nonna's meatball. It's a shame to say but the meatball was cold inside.
We had fun and no one rushed us out or looked at us weird. The bartender was sweet and attentive. We didn't have any issues and since it was such a success I mentioned to my boyfriend that we ought to go there for a Friday date night sometime soon.
I talked it up too much and I think that's where it all went wrong.
Friday night it was so packed. We sat on the patio which is lovely. The food was fantastic. (Nothing was cold this time.)
But, the service... This waitress cared about every other table but us. We must have shown up with invisible cloaks on. The entire evening, from drink orders all the way to the end when we were ready to get the CC back from the check. I've never had it that bad. It was easily a 2 1/2 hour meal because of her lack of effort. We had plans to watch a concert directly after, and clearly showed up late. She inconvenienced us.
This put a bad taste in our mouths. My boyfriend said he'll never go back again unless we sit at the bar for happy hour. If we go back, I'll update this review.
