I had a Groupon which stated to call to make a reservation. I planned on using it yesterday but the person on the phone stated that they were booked for the night. So I made a reservation for 6 the next day, the day that the Groupon expired. I was rudely hung up on by the host in the middle of asking if he needed my phone number to go along with the reservation. But I decided to show up anyway, hoping this was not a precursor to what the restaurant was actually like.
Needless to say, I showed up at 6. The owner's wife (I assume) greeted me and stated that they would be right with me. There was only one other party in the dining room as I stood at the hostess stand for about a minute before the waitress came from the back. Off course they did not have me down for a reservation, but seated me and then the owner and waitress continued to argue at the host stand regarding the missing reservation.
The waitress was very nice. She stated that she had been there for about a year and knew the owners personally. She did the best she could with what she had. The owner apparently had some friends that showed up during service and invited them to the back of the restaurant where I could here him cracking jokes and talking loudly throughout most of the service. I even witnessed people being turned away with a half empty house because they did not have a reservation.
As far as the food, the Hummus and Baba Ganoush looked like oily baby food that was not fresh. The salmon was cooked well but had too much pesto on top for my taste. I had to send the dish back because of a hair in the pasta. The new plate came back within 2 minutes. I didn't really touch the pasta upon return as it appeared that they just cleared the "hairy" part of the pasta and put the rest back on the plate.
I gave the waitress a good tip only because I felt sorry for her as I feel these are ownership issues, not service.
My advice. Go north next door to MacAlpines. Don't bother with LPC.
