Went to The Living Room Saturday night with a group of approximately 17 people. I had been here once before and thought it was great so I recommended it for my friend's birthday party. We called ahead and reserved space earlier in the week. We arrived on time and were asked to wait for our area. We waited for about 15 minutes and were shown to an area that had seating for about 10 people. We were told we would get the area next to us once the two ladies who were currently in that space left. We waited for service for what seemed to be a long time. The waiter finally came over, he was nice however it was very slow getting drinks for the large party. We planned on eating dinner here but we had one small table and for 16 people it wasn't even enough space for drinks let alone dinner. As more guests arrived the space got tighter and we noticed that the ladies next to us who were "almost leaving" as per our server were just ordering dinner, then more drinks then dessert. Apparently calling ahead earlier in the week to reserve space for 16 did not include the staff to reserve an adequate space for everyone. Finally after our guests were hungry and in need of a seat they began to leave. We asked the staff several times and were given the same answer-as soon as these ladies left the space was ours.
The ladies finally left and we jumped on the space just in time to not have another party take the area. None of the staff was monitoring this for us.
Our bill was about $600 and I feel we received terrible service. No one who was with us that night would ever return. They definitely do not know how to treat their guests. I would think a $600 tab would warrant a little better service. They really dropped the ball. There are plenty of other wine bars worth trying out where I'm sure guests are treated much better.
