| - We were at Rossini for a mother's day celebration. The experience started off strong, but then ended really badly.
Good things: food is mostly excellent. We shared an antipasto (jarring note: cheddar on the plate. No Italian would put cheddar cheese on an antipasto plate!). One of us had the linguini pescatore and praised it. It featured good quality pasta, and an assortment of well-cooked seafood, including scallops, shrimp, crab, clams and mussels. Another person had the grilled lamb chops and they too were excellent.
I had the gnocchi with lobster. The sauce was rich but I would have appreciated more chunks of lobster rather than shreds.
Desserts (tiramisu, chocolate mousse cake, and lemon tart) were good but not spectacular.
What really bugged me was that once dessert was served, were were totally ignored. No more water, no one came by to see if we wanted another coffee. We had to ask the bread lady twice for the bill. When it came, there was no thanks; we were given the machine and then left on our own. I had to print off my own bill and we saw ourselves awkwardly out. No thank you's or please come again.
We had spent over $200 for a lunch and this ending was absymal. Too bad, we won't be back.
