| - Ordered drinks and a calamari while we looked over the menu. The server seemed frazzled but worked out the drink order easily enough. While waiting for the food, the chef could be heard yelling at the line cooks. This was the first indication something was wrong. As the manager approached the table next to us, he apologized for the delay in service and promised to comp their desert. This was the second indication things weren't running smoothly. After finishing some cocktails, we ordered a couple glasses of wine, still without our calamari and 15 minutes in. Relaxing became very difficult as the chef continued yelling at the cooks getting louder with each passing minute. About 20 minutes later we see our calamari come out of the kitchen but get delivered to the table next to us. When asking the waiter about the kitchen being slow, he confirmed that our order was delivered to the wrong table. Meanwhile, the table next to us was busy flagging down the manager to get the desert they were promised as he seemed to forget about their comp. After 45 minutes and an empty stomach full of wine, we asked for the check. It was hard to listen to the bumbling idiot of a chef yell orders at people while never actually getting behind the line to help. Also, even after acknowledging the error on the calamari, 15 minutes prior, they still didn't have a new one. Too bad stations doesn't own this place anymore, seems these owners are clueless on how to satisfy a customer.
By the way, we also tried to send an email to the Aliante but there is no place to find an email address or spot to let them know on their website.
