| - Never got to try the food. Never got any service. Just returned form a trip, and thought I would treat myself to a nice meal in a neighborhood restaurant I haven't tried. Hostess seemed confused that I was ALONE, and I should have just given up then. Sadly, I chose a table, ASKED for the wine list, and began my wait. In the fifteen minutes I sat awkwardly at my table, no one said hello, no one brought me water, no one acknowledged me. When the waitress ( who seemed to be the only wait staff) had crossed the room a few times, carefully avoiding making eye contact with me, and the hostess had found time to bus a table and adjust her hair in the mirror, but no time to check on me, or bring water, or reassure me that someone would take my order, or tell me that she was sorry but they wouldn't be able to find the time or energy to serve me a meal, I left. I told the hostess in my fury that I had been waiting fifteen minutes, "Oh, she must not have seen you there." Oh, right, my fault completely. Sorry that I simply sat at my table. Ligali, you get one chance to make a good first impression. Your hostess and waitress made it clear that my business isn't valued -- so I won't burden you again with an attempt at patronage. Ever.
