| - My wife, another couple and I went to District last weekend before going to see Wicked. We arrived at 5:45 for our reservation, in plenty of time for a 7:30 show start. Our server never came to the table, so after 15 minutes of chatting, we went to hostess to tell her. Our server came over right away then, but she was clearly in the weeds. She was not rude, but not overly sorry or apologetic for the delay. We ordered cocktails and apps, the calamari, which were very good and timely. Then she disappeared for a long while. Then, finally, we ordered the entrees. We had the salmon, the filet special and our friends shared a wedge salad and the seafood risotto. The food took a long time and came out, and when it did, was luke warm at best. The manager offered to re-fire the entrees, which we took advantage of. More time. At about 7:00, he brought us comp'd desserts. Nice, but not needed. He didn't offer or ask us if we wanted them. We would have rather just had my wife's salmon comp'd because she didn't eat it, even after a re-fire. The food had good taste, but just wasn't hot. After the delays, our server brought the bill, which was divided completely wrong. We pointed out the errors and she was off to correct. Now, 7:20, so our wives left to get to the show and we stayed to pay and rush to the show. Our server returned and the bills were still wrong. At this point, we just paid as we were going to be late for the show. We ended up missing the entry time and the first 12 minutes of Wicked due to this. I would put 100% of this on the service. All of the delays and cold food was due to our server. The location is great and food has potential, but I think I'll wait a good while before going back, if at all. Too many other great places in the area to endure another disappointment with poorly trained servers.
