I will never recommend this place for a big party to dine. I've had two bad experiences here. Let me just say that our server was the best! He was very patient and understanding of our needs. As a former server, I understand how difficult a large table can be, especially when you're expected to run things perfectly. He kept his cool and never let us know he felt pressured.
Here are my gripes:
- Appetizers didn't come out. They were just lagging big time. We had to wait almost 30 minutes to see the first plate of cheese and then another ten to get the second plate that was ordered.
- Entrees were no brought out at the same time. Like the polite group we were, no one ate a bite until the last plate hit the table. By the time it arrived, my food and majority of our parties food was luke warm.
Here are the one pro:
- The manager offered to take off one of the bottles of wine we ordered since he knew we had been waiting long for the food.
I tried not to fill up on bread waiting, but it was really hard not to. I really wanted to finally like this place. I think if I had come here with my bf it would've been a different experience because it's more personal. With large parties, your attitude and attention goes toward one focus -- food. Unfortunately, we didn't have a good result. Sorry d.Vino, two strikes and you're out.
