| - I've been here twice and don't have much recollection of our first visit, but it was enough to make us want a second one.
We came in for the second time on 5/9/15 to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, and Mother's Day. The food was good, but our server was a bit awkward and pushy, which I was not fond of.
I asked him if the lobster bisque risotto was more of a full dish of risotto, or if the risotto was merely a side--he responded by telling me all about the Ono fish. I had to ask my question again and he still wasn't getting it. I did end up ordering the dish and he said that I should have the fish cooked medium, I responded that, "Unfortunately, I cannot have any undercooked food because I am pregnant and it's not safe for the baby. I need it well done please." Again he insisted that the chef recommends it only cooked to medium, and I became very frustrated at this point and told him, "I don't care what the chef recommends. I'm pregnant and cannot eat it unless it's well done."
If I have to tell you TWICE of my consumption needs and you still don't get it and insist on me eating it a different way, I'm not happy. Under normal circumstances, I would love to have sushi or medium-cooked fish instead of a well-done filet. But when I tell you I'm pregnant, stop trying to force a piece of food down my throat that could make me sick and possibly terminate my pregnancy!!!
Also, the risotto was severely undercooked--I love risotto and pastas to be Al dente, as they're meant to, but this was completely raw grains of rice in some areas.
5/19/15 UPDATE: After posting my review, I was promptly contacted by managers from the restaurant to discuss the issues we had, which translated into better informing employees about sensitivity with pregnant womens' diets and not trying to force undercooked food on them. We were also sent a very generous giftcard to give the restaurant another try, which we will. The service we've received from the management staff has earned them another "star" in my rating
