| - I went to Bravo this evening with some clients. They are local and this is one of their favorite places to go. This is my second time at the restaurant and probably my last. The hostesses were casual, but attentive and we were seated at a comfortable booth... The menu looked great and diverse, with lots of yummy sounding Italian appetizers & dinners. Our waiter was busy & we felt very rushed throughout the entire dinner. Having been a waiter... I can tell you this guy needed a lot more training. He didn't welcome us to the restaurant, didn't give his name, didn't ask us how we were, didn't tell us what the specials were etc. No he he took our drink order and disappeared. When he returned we gave him our dinner orders, but he never asked whether we wanted an appetizer, salad, soup & literally left the table so quickly we couldn't tell him. When he came back with our drinks, we asked to place an appetizer order. He returned with my salad but forgot my clients soup... What a dope! I had no sooner put the dressing on my salad, and the entrées were at our table? Terrible timing! To add insult to injury, my entree was some of the lowest quality Italian food that I've eaten (they couldn't even get the temperature right - my chicken was cold). My client had to ask another waiter to bring her a salad, because our waiter didn't come back to check on us. When the waiter finally did return to the table he was in a rush to clear it & I was appalled how he reached over us to clear the plates. I left the waiter a 10% tip which was way more than he deserved. Once he picked up the check he never came back...terrible service! As we left the restaurant the hostesses said See ya? Really? Not I hope you have a pleasant evening. Had I not been with clients I would've 100% demanded a different waiter and to see the manager.
