| - The food is excellent, but the servce is really off putting.
My boyfriend and I came for dinner on the patio on a Friday night. When we arrived around 6:30 it was not busy aside from 3 other tables on the patio. We were offered water and not asked for a drink order. We waited 15 mins for a drink and food order. Since it was our first time the waiter let us know that it was small plates encouraged for sharing. He told us about 3-5 dishes. Since we had plans to go elsewhere for dessert we selected beef taco, lobster taco, and a green bean salad. All very delicious !
Here's where it gets weird.
Another waiter came to refill water. I said no thank you, but he insisted on filling my glass, reaching across me, my plate, and my drink, very awkwardly to do so. A different waiter came to ask how everything was, and then another to see if we needed more drinks.
I value service that is discrete and polite, and bent simply did not deliver. It is ostentatious with 5 differnt people helping you for every little thing. I want to feel that the one person serving me is attentive to my personal needs and have some sort of personal interaction with them even on a miniscule level.
Too many waiters!!!
Even walking to the washroom from the patio is difficult because there are about 10 waiters standing beside tables you need to navigate around.
After we ate, my boyfriend asked for the bill and the (original) waiter said to him " oh are you sure you don't want to order anything else?" He said no thank you and the waiter pressed him again saying "really? Nothing else???" Very awkward and very pushy!!
