| - ICK! STAY AWAY!!
Went with our dinner group and we were ALL fairly disappointed. First off, we had a party of 10 outside, but they failed to tell us they can't truly seat large parties outside because they only have small round tables. So a few of us were forced to sit between tables, and eat our food off of two different place settings. It was strange.
Then...the service was...adequate. Our hostess was terribly rude and confused. Literally looked us up and down, looked at our reservation, and pointed as she commanded: "Go sit at the bar." No explanation. Just go. Sat down, ordered a ($12 short G&T) drink and watched her seat other members in our party as soon as they walked in. (The table had been set since before we got there). When we went back to the hostess stand, she looked at us and said "they're outside" and nothing else, so we just sat ourselves.
And our server? One really can't complain. He kept our waters full. He marked the tables well. He presented us with specials well...but he just seemed,...terribly annoyed. For a ten top of perfection (drinks, apps, salads, entrees AND desserts) we should have at least gotten a smile. And without asking, he brought us one check, and then was quite visibly annoyed when we asked to separate it. Look, I know separating checks is a true pain in the, uh, neck - but sometimes, no MOST of the time, large parties are going to do that. If you have an issue with this - do not seat large parties.
Aaaaand the food? Yelp reviewers really threw me off on this one. I want the food that the other four/five star folks had, because I'm sincerely confused. Maybe Monday night is the 2nd string kitchen staff because...ugh...So very very ICK. Watered down Carbonara that was dripping (which it NEVER should). Squishy mealy"fresh" mozzerella w/bland tomatoes. (It's summer in the south people! Tomatoes you can get right!!) Rubbery lobster that you literally could not CUT - let alone chew. And I had a pork ravioli special that had chewy (not al dente - just chewy) pasta filled with something that had the consistency of (I'm sorry, but it's true) cat food and though I've never really dared to dine on that feline canned delicacy, I would imagine it would taste pretty darned close to what I ate at Toscana's.
(Oh...and it is NOT the best tiramasu in town as our server boasted. By FAR!!)
I'm used to eating bad food, but for those prices??? For frozen crap?!?!? And utter rudeness??? Ah Southpark - you striketh again. Make sure you're super snobby and it won't matter what you put on the plates.
It's my SUPER pet peeve. I'll pay almost anything for good food. But hundreds of dollars for food we can't finish and you couldn't pay us to take home - and outright snobbery (for whatevr reason)...really gets my goat!
Unless someone tells me that they've VASTLY improved, we will NOT be going back. And I wouldn't suggest anyone else go either!!
