| - When you make a reservation arriving at 6 for 8 for a Birthday Celebration and they seat you on the side where they only have small round cocktail tables and they have pushed two together, it's a sign! Better off leaving. The other side of the room which is better fit for dining is wide open, only two tables of two are seated. There is several long tables against the wall that would have been perfect for a party of eight. (During our entire visit no one sat there)
We are seated for a good 15 minutes then this girl comes over in a white causal top, a dark sports bra underneath with blue jeans cuffed up and pink tennis shoes. Wait I know this is an eclectic place but the other server has on a white skirt and a teal off the shoulder top I feel like we are on candid camera. She fills everyone's water and says she will be back to take our order. As we watch her fill the four top next to us we are all confused. She returns for our drink order. I order mine in a tall glass. Fail, I get a short glass. She drops off drinks and says she will return for our order. We wait..... my sister goes to the bar and orders appetizers for the table and pays separate. Waitress returns, "ok I'm ready now, I'll start here". As she is taking the order one of the appetizers come out. Ten minutes go by and another one comes out, we order another round. Again I request a tall glass he response was " oh yhea that's right you ordered that last time, I forgot". We are thinking maybe this is her first day, other people are bringing food out placing it in front of the wrong people. The girl from the other side of the room came over to help clear the appetizer plates and dropped two forks and two different times off of the plates on to the table. This was like a joke! Food is all delivered and one person doesn't have anything in front of her. The servers don't realize and leave. We wait and final flag down the waitress and she says "oh, it will probably take like 15 minutes". We looked at her " I didn't put it in, sorry". There must be cameras rolling this is just not funny. Understand the place is not busy! You got a guy looks like he must be management in a baseball cap on the computer at the end of the bar very casual but not helping in any of this. Our waitress is behind the bar opening a bottle of wine confusing because there is baseball cap standing there and a female bartender at the other end of the bar doing nothing.
Food was not good! I have eaten there dozens of times and the polenta was dry and hard, the meat in the charcuterie had brown on the edges. The two orders of risotto looked and tasted completely different. The chicken piccata was over cooked and dry laid on top of the pasta. She simply just pushed it aside it was inedible. There was no lemon sauce or capers. Just an over cooked battered chicken breast that had been flattened. The wedge salad wasn't a wedge at all it was a couple of chopped mounds of lettuce. Maybe it was the cooks first day as well. Waitress never asked if there was something wrong just asked if we needed boxes. We left a nice tip in hopes that she could buy an outfit that would be suited for the ambience of this place and hopefully she would conduct herself more professional.
On a side note the place needs a little Maintence. Faucets are coming out of the wall in the ladies bathroom...
We will not be returning.
