*5 star for food, service, and renovations*
*-1 star for the new old crooner cited as "entertainment"*
Oh gawd Spring Villa! Why did you have to ruin a perfectly good evening by hiring a guitarist to go to every table and sing Italian Opera songs!?!?!?! If I wanted frickin Pavarotti or O Sole Mio belted until kingdom come, I would have popped in a CD...or gone to a concert. Certainly not Spring Villa...
We had reservations for 6pm and the dinner went splendidly until a man in a suit started strumming a tune as if he was alone in the shower. We all sat horrified...praying that Besame Mucho would end Mucho fast so we could get on talking. We paid the guy $5, really to get rid of him. There were only 3 other tables that he went to and yup...soon after he was back at our table again.
Apparently, the restaurant has hired him because people like that kind of entertainment. But honestly, I want to eat my BBQ in peace. The old guy is a good singer for sure, but I don't want to listen to romantic Italianetta's while I'm hacking at my Fried Rice. The ambiance just doesn't mesh. We had one old Asian guy who thought he knew Italian and started singing along with the guitarist (next table) only to have choked on something...Remix Italian Aria + HACK + COUGH + hack hack hack...
My entire family left before our free dessert was put on the table and I had a headache afterwards. I'm sorry, but I'm not a fan of someone belching loud tunes. We had out of town guests and we could hardly talk over love music.
FYI. If you want to listen to this wannabe Julio Iglesias, than come here Monday-Wednesday from 6-9pm. Thankfully, Thursday to Sunday will be peace and quiet. PLEASE SPRING VILLA! DITCH THE LIVE ENTERTAINMENT!
