| - High on Attitude...Low on Service..
By this point, I would have imagined Postino would running better then a Patek Philippe watch....That was not the case last night.
My suggestion... Give Postino Central time to hire a service focused staff with a sense of urgency before you come here.
The arrival of Postino in my 'hood was highly anticipated. I was hoping the new "central" location would be "inspired" by Postino... not an Exact replica.. Which was a little boring! We arrived at 7:30 to a full bar.. Which, a full bar is nothing new for this restaurant group, so why did it seem so chaotic?
We found some seats at the bar and waited to be served... and waited... and waited... we counted 3-4 on bar staff... yet the "main'" bartender seemed pre-occupied, and easily distracted.. AHAD? We were finally acknowledged after 10 mins and placed our orders.
As we looked around, we noticed others at the bar with either an empty drink or no drink at all. (Amazing that the owner was monitoring the restaurant, however did not pick up on the fact so many at the bar had to wait so long for service)
There was one lucky group at the bar, ( We think they were the original cast from the movie Sixteen Candles ) that enjoyed exceptional service and attention.. Full drinks at all times, maintaining the bartender's attention as the rest of the patrons suffered. Perhaps they hypnotized or used voodoo on the staff... Hey ...whatever it takes... I guess I'll go to a graveyard and kill a chicken at midnight before my next visit!
The bruschetta we ordered was great, the same quality as the Campbell location. Warm, thickly sliced artisan bread, covered with generous amounts of toppings. Our favorites were the prosciutto, Fig and mascarpone cheese and the Apple & Brie.. yummy!!! The food was the only reason I gave this night a 2 star.
Although we fought our better judgment to leave after we enjoyed our food... we stayed. Big mistake! We foolishly thought once Jake Ryan and Caroline Mulford left the bar , the voodoo spell would be broken, that was not the case...the wait for the following drinks were just as lengthy as the first!
If I were the owner, .. I'd replace the Bar Staff with the Valet Staff.. The Valet Staff was quicker, service focused and had more personality then anyone at the bar..
I look forward to returning back to Postino Central when they have "ironed out" the "kinks"..
