| - Have been wanting to try this place and finally stopped down this afternoon. The bar was full, and three tables of people on the enclosed porch. We chose a table on the porch and looked over the menu, waiting about 10 minutes with no service.
So, we moved to the small table in the bar, hoping to be noticed by Bob (the owner, who was busy at the bar but also occasionally serving dishes to the folks in the dining room) or one of the two servers. Eye contact was made a few times, and we even waved a hand to signal that we'd like to be served, but they actively avoided acknowledging us.
After waiting another ten minutes or so, we gave up and left. Super disappointing. We waited very patiently for almost 20 minutes, trying to give them the benefit of the doubt; maybe they'd already made enough money this afternoon. There were a lot of shots being poured at the bar - perhaps if we'd have made friends with those folks, we'd have been noticed.
I've had Bob's giardienara (which is *delicious*, and I intended buy some to bring some home) and was psyched to eat at the new location in Braddock, but I'be got a really bad taste in my mouth (well, none, actually) after today's experience. Sad face.
