| - We went to Cure for the first time last night and it was overall a very nice dinner. Just a few things to note... coming from NYC, I'm used to expensive, smaller portions, and this has both that, so that wasn't a surprise, although it would have been nice, with a restaurant of this quality, buzz and notoriety (not just in the Burgh) to be given some kind of nice amuse bouche, just to say we're glad you're here and we know you're gonna like this meal. It's a classy touch and there was none of that. No small bread offerings or anything else. A couple weird things with the service too. We were there on a Tuesday night so while it was crowded, it wasn't packed and there were a few empty tables. Once we finished our cocktails, barely, the wait staff kept buzzing by to whisk the empties away, and in fact, came by again while we were waiting to pay the check, to start clearing the table, which I found sort of uncomfortable and not reflective of great service. We'd been there for maybe a little over an hour, so not long, and there were people still there from when we arrived when we left. But it was like they were saying, "OK, you need to leave now." It's little things that make you OK with spending a lot of money on food, service being #1. So delicious food, but not a particularly gracious or generous spirit, at least not the night we went.
