| - I think we went on the wrong night or something, based on all the great reviews on yelp. But honestly, my boyfriend and I had such a blah experience that it's unlikely we'd try it again.
The guy who took our tickets told us when we got there at 8 that the kitchen was running 45 minutes behind because of some large parties. Should have taken that warning as an omen of the clusterfuck that awaited us, but we had already paid for the valet and we're looking forward to hearing the bossa nova.
The sarcastic, terrible service made me think I was transported back to the 90s Flats, and we were at Dick's Last Resort. when we declined buying a bottle of wine and instead asked for a cocktail menu, our server huffed and puffed away to get one, slammed it down and then walked away. Rude.
We inexplicably had two servers, and when our entrees didn't arrive for over an hour and a half (during which time we never got to order drinks or have water refilled), the vile first waitress came over and simultaneously blamed her serving partner and the computer and expressed that "it wasn't her fault" (we didn't imply that it was at any point).
We eventually (close to 10 pm) got our entrees - complete with some undercooked rice with his and an ice cold scalloped potato hockey puck and three limp asparagus spears accompanying my fish.
Every place/server can have an off night, and I swear we are not the kind of people who nitpick or have unrealistic expectations. But at just shy of $100 for only one drink, no bread, no water, abrasive service, and seriously mediocre food, it's enough for me to say Never Again.
Bossa Nova was good, though.
