| - I had really high hopes for Chaz & Odette and hope that a future visit will be better. My main beef with the restaurant was our service. Now, I don't want to rip on the service of the whole restaurant, but our server in particular was not good. In the beginning, the server rushed us and tried to get our order when we were clearly not ready (right after 2 of 3 of us had sat down). Then, when my glass of wine had been empty for 10-15 minutes, I tried to ask the server for another glass but the server walked away as I was speaking. Then, it took me two attempts to try to flag the server down so I could order a second glass. The place seemed busy but not overcrowded, so I was a little confused. Later, after dessert was ordered and I ordered coffee, the server acted confused as to why I was ordering coffee ("do you want decaf?") after dinner (no, I didn't want decaf). Then when my coffee was brought out, I had to flag the server down again to ask for cream, as none was brought.
The server was nice but seemed absent minded and maybe wasn't trained well? I don't think the server had previous service experience.
The food was fine. I had the pork dish but the rice and red beans served underneath the pork were completely cold as soon as I got the dish. The dish tasted good, but the pork was also dry.
The table split the beignets for dessert. Only half were covered with powdered sugar.
The food tasted good, but the bad service and cold food left a bad taste in my mouth. With so many great restaurants popping up in Pittsburgh, I'm not sure I'll find the time to get back to a place I only felt so-so about. I'm hoping things change for them.
