| - Oh dear, where to begin? One of the most unsatisfying dining experiences ever.
But hey, they just opened, and surely must be given a bit of slack, and time, to work out the kinks. Although my understanding is that this is not the owner's first rodeo.
The noise level is oppressive. The service ridiculously over solicitous, especially since the wait time to receive our meal was extraordinarily long. Mains and over-salted salads were all delivered at the same time. The server needed to advise us when seated which items were no longer available before letting us review the menu. The bread was cold and greasy despite taking about 30 minutes to arrive (we thought they might have been baking it). The server needs to be either educated about the wine list or willing to say, I can't answer your question, let me send over someone who can. The pork chop, described as melt-in-your-mouth, was overcooked and dry and had to be sent back (we ordered a second octopus to replace it...that was tender as advertised). The crispy kale salad was just plain weird.
The Branzino, which was served in place of Sea Bream, was nicely done. Please, when coffee is served, ask if one would care for cream and/or sugar, and a spoon would be nice.
And please don't ask me how my food is looking.
Yes, I know I am sounding a bit grumpy, but I did wait till morning to share my thoughts; had I written this last night I might have been even more critical!
Good luck, Nico's, working things out. Maybe we just caught you on an off night.
